“Knowledge is power” (Francis Bacon)
Mystery schools then as now use the best possible medium to disseminate teaching.
Long ago, teachers of mystery schools taught secret knowledge only from mouth to ear. The writing of writings took several years. Reproducing books was very time consuming and costly. Through Gutenberg’s invention of book printing, the Guardians of Timeless Wisdom were able to make this teaching accessible to more people. In our time there is the Internet. Thus we can grant you and numerous other people worldwide access to the Timeless Wisdom. Timeless wisdom is imperishable and endures for all eternity. However, the medium of transmission is adapted to modern possibilities by the guardians of teaching. Never before has it been so easy and in such a short time possible to receive these grandiose teachings. But, of course, it is your decision whether you, like thousands of other people, would like to seize this opportunity.

The term “hermeticism” comes from Hermes. In Greek mythology, Hermes is the mediator between mind and matter. Hermetics conveys a consistent view of the world. For thousands of years, the wisdom tradition of hermetics has guarded the tried and tested tools for the spiritual unfolding of man. The essential terms of hermetics are explained in the Hermetics Glossary. Self-knowledge helps us to gain a greater understanding of life and to react to it. The online courses of the Hermetic Academy are available in German, English and Spanish.

Real Students Reviews
I still read the weekly lesson with fascination.
A few years ago I came to the Hermetic Academy out of pure curiosity. Looking back, the changes I experienced during this time were enormous. I can recommend the academy to anyone who wants to develop further in life. Martin Rosner
The Hermetic Academy is what I've always been looking for.
An examination of the meaning of life, of my desires, hopes and longings – a space that gives me the opportunity to unfold freely. Ulrike H.
Self-knowledge is the key to the mastery of life.
Since my youth, the question of what meaning life can have in view of its inevitable finiteness (death) has been agonizingly preoccupying me. The Western Mystery Tradition of the Hermetic Academy gives me daily through theory and practice the ever deeper self-knowledge of what holds the world together at its core. Alexander Wolf
Clarities arose that I never dared to dream of.
Through the Hermetic Academy I have received answers to the basic questions of life in theory and in my own life practice, connections between microcosm and macrocosm and mystical insights. For this I am very grateful and encourage everyone who feels the call within him to dare the small step into the Hermetic Academy, which in reality is a big one. Josef Missethon
Recognizing the meaning of life - and also realizing it.
Almost everyone knows this feeling of looking into the night sky and asking the question of meaning in the face of the limitless sea of stars above us. The Hermetic Academy has not only helped me to recognize the meaning of life, but to realize it a little more every day. Mark L.
A fundamental change in life.
Since my time at the Hermetic Academy, my life has changed fundamentally. I no longer feel at the mercy of life’s circumstances, but have learned through the courses to actively change them for the better. Angelika Hoffman
The Hermetic Academy captivates with a comprehensive and coherent description of the world.
I like the clarity and directness of the Hermetic Academy. It is a signpost in this still foggy and arbitrary age and helps to recognize structures in the world and in life. The Hermetic Academy captivates with a comprehensive and coherent description of the world, society and man and his relationships to higher levels, which I could not find anywhere else. The path constantly leads to confrontation with one’s own circumstances, which is the true practice of this path. Andreas S.
