A syncretism of two powerful religious Objects–the Greek God Hermes and the Egyptian God Thoth–Hermes Trismegistus (Thrice Great) is attributed the authorship of the Hermetic Corpus a series of ancient texts that are the basis of Hermeticism, the belief that all religions derive from a single true theology. Divided into two categories, the philosophical and the technical, the latter section concerns practical magic, potions, alchemy and spells intended to magically protect objects and render them Hermetically Sealed.
