The first part provides an overview of the history and philosophy of Hermeticism, including its influence on alchemy and the occult. Atwood also examines the role of women in Hermeticism, and how they have been marginalized and excluded from the tradition.The second part of the book focuses on the practical application of Hermetic principles. Atwood provides exercises and techniques for readers to develop their own spiritual practice, including meditation, visualization, and ritual. She also offers guidance on how to incorporate Hermetic principles into daily life, including relationships, work, and health.Throughout the book, Atwood draws on her own experiences as a practitioner of Hermeticism, as well as the work of other Hermetic philosophers and alchemists. The Hermetic Practice is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of Hermeticism, and is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.THIS 152 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Suggestive Inquiry into the Hermetic Mystery with a Dissertation on the More Celebrated of the Alchemical Philosophers Being an Attempt Towards the Recovery of the Ancient Experiment of Nature, by Mary Anne Atwood.
