by Edward Maitland (Author), Anna B. Kingsford (Author)

""Virgin of the World of Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus"" is a book written by Anna Bonus Kingsford that explores the ancient teachings of Hermeticism. The book is based on the teachings of the legendary figure, Hermes Trismegistus, who was believed to be a combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores different aspects of Hermetic philosophy, including the nature of the universe, the role of humanity, and the relationship between the physical and spiritual worlds. Kingsford's interpretation of these teachings is heavily influenced by her own spiritual beliefs, which incorporate elements of Christianity, mysticism, and occultism. The book is considered to be an important work in the history of Hermeticism and has been influential in the development of modern Western esotericism.1885.
