Magick and the Occult
(Mágia és Okkultizmus)

The HERMETIC MAGICK & OCCULTISM Library is a collection of vital works of the greatest authors of hermetism, occultism and traditional magic. It is an innitiative to create a scientific framework for the study of these subjects as well as the systematic collection of the most important works.

Occultism (from the word "secret, hidden" Latin occultus) is a generic term for knowledge of supernatural powers and the spirit world, which includes the totality of esoteric views, cults, wizardry, witchcraft and divination practices. The occult knowledge is based on the idea that the world is an indivisible and indivisible unit in which all things are related, but the nature of these expedient and necessary relationships cannot be described by the spatial and temporal categories of the physical world experienced by the senses. Thus, getting to know the tangible dimensions beyond the world leads to a higher level of knowledge and opens up a more perfect, fuller state of existence for the initiators, who are able to mobilize the secret supernatural forces and direct them according to their purposes. Several practices related to magic can be listed here, among other things, protection from evil, generating luck and help or communication with supernatural powers, and their control. Western thinking traditionally treats the concept of occultism in a pejorative sense, although its roots go back to ancient Greek culture. The first manifestations can be attributed to the presocratic school and the Platonic traditions that are primarily related to Pythagoras, but they can also be associated with the occultism of various mystery religions, hellenistic magic and alchemy, as well as the Jewish Kabbalah. In the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church considered witchcraft and magic to be the persecution of paganism and the devil's influence, but during the period of humanism and renaissance, Mysticism and occultism flourished.

Hermetikus Mágia

Medieval and modern neoplatonists have formed the ancient Greek philosophy, combining Jewish mysticism and Christian doctrines with occult doctrines (Agrippa, Paracelsus, Eliphas Lévi, John Dee). In the modern age - partly based on the philosophical principles of Roger Bacon, Giordano Bruno and Emmanuel Swedenborg - occult tendencies such as the Rosicrucian movement, Freemasonry, the Theosophical system of Count Saint Germain or the mysticism of Alessandro Cagliostro appeared. The conceptual system of some small churches and new religious movements that emerged in the 19th century was also influenced by occultism, in connection with the western expansion of the Eastern doctrines and the New Age movement; these include spiritualism, anthroposophy, scientology, and various modern esoteric trends (eg parapsychology, bioenergy).

I consider Magick the most ellaborate system of magic of the 20th century, which is based on the doctrines and practices of MacGregor Mathers & Israel Regardie (Golden Dawn) and Aleister Crowley (A∴A∴ and O.T.O.), thus I have a seperate library dedicated to » THELEMMAGICK. It is my Opus Magnum.

If we want to explain what Hermetics means within the esoteric concept of "Magic and Occultism", that is, in the "different hermetic sacred traditions" of mankind, then we must first call upon a universal system dealing with the Universal Tradition of Humankind = Hermetics. Hermetics is a religious-philosophical system that examines the total spiritual tradition of mankind and collects similar elements and thoughts by analytical, comparative methods that form the basis of its own system, which is called Tradition. Tradition is an absolute principle that is a universal organizing principle that is the ultimate basis of all further historical, religious, artistic, or even scientific phenomena, and hides behind it. So there are no tangible limits as it permeates all the phenomena of the whole world. [...]

In order to understand the exact concept of Hermetics, we must put it in the European spiritual history. We can say that Hermetics embraces European Hermetism, Mysticism, Esoteric and Tradition, as well as non-European esoteric traditions (such as Islamic Sufi, Hindu Tantra, Chinese Ji-King, Taoist Alchemy, etc.), and also the religious and mythical traditions of different cultures (eg from Egyptian magic, Sumerian Akkadian religion, Greek myths, etc.). Still, European tradition, including Hermetism, is a decisive element. Of course, Hermetics considers not only the thoughts of the great figures of Hermetism, but also the work of (former and) later authors. So for the sake of completeness, we have to consider the complete European esoteric heritage, showing the works of authors on whose work Hermetics is based.
