Reviews and Success Stories

I am infinitely grateful for the opportunity to study at the Hermetic Academy. Every week, I look forward to the new lessons, and they help me in my daily life! Somehow, I’ve been searching for this my whole life (I am now 60), and I found this light at the Hermetic Academy! I feel like I have a faithful companion by my side, providing answers to all of life’s questions. The knowledge imparted is very profound and at the same time very practical and authentic! Words fail me to describe the miracles and the immensely great gifts! Thank you!

Hello, my name is Johannes and I am 35 years young. I can still remember well how I questioned the meaning of life in my teenage years without really knowing where to find the answer. Through winding paths, I finally arrived at the Hermetic Academy and thus to the truly true answers of life. For me, Hermeticism is a purification process that frees me from misconceptions and wrong attitudes, regularly brings me to my knees, and calls for humility. Since I started walking the path of Hermeticism, I feel gently but firmly guided and no longer lost in life. My heart is aligned to higher things. For this, I am incredibly grateful and look forward to what my lifetime on this earth still holds.

The people who animate the Hermetic Academy and translate the ancient teachings of wisdom into our time are, for me, a gift from heaven. The challenges, especially in these times, I find quite substantial. Through the connection with these wise people and the teachings of Hermeticism, I am always able to quickly return to my 'center'. So-called defeats or adversities can be mastered more quickly with the help of the teachings of wisdom. Persistence and endurance in all areas of life are trained. Which ultimately leads to the desired success! After every fall, get up again, straighten the crown, and keep going! I thank the Creator for his wonderful guidance!

Hello everyone, my name is Jella and I am relatively new to the Hermetic Academy. I have been participating in Ayahuasca ceremonies for 2 years and have had very intense spiritual experiences that have raised many questions for me on an intellectual level. A few months ago, I asked the universe or God for guidance to better understand these experiences and my experience as a human, and then Kabbalah came into my life. I have already read a few books by Elias Rubenstein and just the explanation of the Tree of Life has helped my mind a lot in categorizing the levels of my experiences. Now I am starting the online study and I am very motivated and grateful that all this exists and I am excited to see how my path continues.

On my quest to find ways to awaken my Kundalini, I found what I was looking for at the Hermetic Academy. Here, the knowledge is imparted to me that I need to grow spiritually, to harmonize my chakras in such a way that I will be ready to activate the Kundalini and let it rise.

I am a person of many words, but to adequately describe my experiences, I find myself somewhat at a loss for words. I was found in a wonderful way, without knowing that I was searching for it, and as a result, worlds have opened up in my life. Since then, the common thread has become visible to me again, and I recognize the right path for myself. When reading the lessons, I often feel that something inside me remembers, and everything feels so right. It's something you just have to experience for yourself. I am so grateful that in this life, I am allowed to have this wonderful experience and feel very blessed for it.

Good day,
My name is Henning. I have been oriented towards magic and mysticism for a long time. However, in my many years of self-taught learning, I made little progress on the spiritual path. Moreover, due to my strong longing, I had slipped into the shadow world and become drug-addicted and mentally ill. I even had a legal guardian and was no longer allowed to make my own decisions about my life. Through the Hermetic Academy, I found access to authentic teachings.

Step by step, thanks to divine guidance, I found my way out of my crisis and also found keys to true progress, without having to resort to conventional medicine, therapy, or other social services.

I am once again a free person,
I have sufficient resources and am mostly happy. Even Corona and the current general crises have not overwhelmed me; rather, I can look optimistically into the future. Overall, I have gained maturity through the Hermetic Academy and gathered many insights.

Before joining the Hermetic Academy, I was constantly searching for truth in life. I looked at and tried many things (New Age and esotericism), but none of them felt right. When I started reading about the Hermetic Academy, I knew that I had arrived at what I had been searching for my entire life. It's like remembering something that lies dormant within me and wants to be awakened. The deeper I delve into this knowledge and learning, the more free and stable my life becomes. I have found the meaning in life, and this makes me strong and allows me to find fulfillment in life. The opportunity to work on myself and my personality with tested knowledge and tools makes me very grateful. It's like a grace of God for me to be able to participate in it.

After nearly four years at the Hermetic Academy, I feel like the lost child who was allowed to return to the father's house. In the beginning, especially material problems, such as chronic deficits in my bank account, were resolved. Now, I am relearning what it means to be/become human. To take on and live with true responsibility. Step by step, sometimes very challenging, but never overwhelming, often just beautiful. My tailor-made life. Thank you, God, for allowing me to grow into this. Thank you to all the teachers and companions at the Hermetic Academy.

The transformations I've experienced through studying at the Hermetic Academy are profound. My actions, speech, and even my thought processes have become more mindful. The 'hierarchy' of my existence has shifted dramatically. Things that are now important to me would have seemed laughable before my journey with the Hermetic Academy, had I even been aware of their existence. It's challenging to encapsulate this change in words, but perhaps that's for the best. No predefined script fits everyone; each person charts their own course.
I am deeply grateful to the force that guided me to this path. My gratitude also extends to Elias Rubenstein and the entire team at the Hermetic Academy.

Through the Hermetic Academy, I am gathering new experiences that enrich my life. I am beginning to understand the secrets of creation and to apply the spiritual laws. New paths are revealing themselves, offering my life fresh perspectives and encounters. With the study at the Hermetic Academy, the wonders of life are unfolding.

Eight years ago, I found the Hermetic Academy - it was like an invisible door through which I stepped into the magical Now. The courses at the Hermetic Academy have helped me dissolve entrenched patterns, find and live my vocation, and return to the Divine, to true 'Religion'. Gradually, all aspects of my personality have harmonized, making me an ever more conscious and purer channel for the higher power that wants to express itself through me in this world.

Life has become an adventure through Hermeticism. I've moved from a victim consciousness to a creator consciousness and have increasingly learned to take conscious control of my personality tools to achieve results that are in harmony with my true self and which I never thought possible.

I am infinitely grateful for the grace of having found this mystery school and can only encourage anyone who feels the call for more to open themselves to the wonder of Hermeticism.

I’d like to share my thoughts, although I’ve only recently encountered the Hermetic Academy. My spiritual journey began long ago; I’ve been pondering life’s meaning since my teenage years and my life is progressing well. I’ve been following my inner guidance, acquiring knowledge independently. Now, with the Hermetic Academy, I’ve found a coherent path that resonates with me. Despite my prior knowledge, I am embracing this new journey, approaching everything with an open mind and eagerness to learn. The exercises are enriching, enabling direct application of the knowledge and deepening understanding through practice. Reading the success stories here is inspiring, reinforcing my belief that I can achieve my goals with the Academy. My focus is on gaining deeper knowledge and wisdom, adhering to my soul’s plan, and healing karmic ties from this and past lives. I am immensely grateful for this remarkable opportunity.

I am fascinated by the knowledge being shared here! And I would love to meet you all in person.

I am a knowledge-thirsty person, always searching for the unknown and what lies 'behind it'. But after scouring many books and the internet in search of spiritual fulfillment and having found much, I eventually found nothing more to lead me forward. Then, at the Academy, immense and authentic knowledge opened up, helping me to gain more insight and wisdom about God and creation, and to apply this knowledge to continue on my path and develop further. There is still so much to learn and do. Not just for me, but for everyone.

"If more and more people let their fellow human beings participate in small good deeds every day, then something great can come of it." Such wise and beautiful words, which have become commonplace for me, and I accept with deepest gratitude.

"I have come to realize that the present moment is the most important in my life. Therefore, the people I encounter now deserve my full attention. My inner being feels very fulfilled, peaceful, loving, harmonious, which positively and healingly affects my environment. By knowing and applying the laws of nature, I am a creator in my own life. The Hermetic Academy is an infinitely precious, very pure treasure for the study of life. It's hard to put into words, but this connection to the light, the love, makes my heart love more and more, and one becomes richer on the inside. Thank you for having found this wonderful mystery school, and I so wish that as many as possible may have this experience."

"I would like to write a few lines about myself. I have been "attending" the basic courses at the Hermetic Academy for about a year now. I have experienced a lot during this time and would like to emphasize two things. I used to drink a lot of coffee and cola. This has bothered me for a long time and I have been trying to correct it for many years. Since the beginning of October, I no longer drink either and have not done so as an exception. A step that I was able to take as a result of a lesson. I am very grateful for that. Of course it's okay to drink cola and coffee, but unfortunately I've never been able to maintain the right balance myself. So for me, at least for the moment, giving up completely is the best solution. I wish you all powerful moments, inspiration and lots of development!"

"I came across the Hermetic Academy through Elias Rubenstein's book on magic and have been attending the online courses for years now.
At the beginning, I didn't realize what treasures the Academy had to offer. At the beginning, you need patience and trust so that the inner wisdom within you can reveal itself more and more.
There may be many paths to self-knowledge, but ultimately they all lead to a common goal. Those who want to follow this path without detours and with determination will find their home here and ultimately find what they have really been looking for all along."
