i've read the kybalion
does that count being as it's based on hermetic teaching of ancient egypt?
It does indeed Bro Street, because it is Tehuti who gives us instruction in The Seven Universal Laws. Tehuti is the great scholar, messenger, and deity of writing, wisdom and learning and is credited with inventing writing, mathematics, engineering, and astrology.
Tehuti is known by the Greek god Hermes. Also known as Thoth but I’m not sure if Thoth is a Greek or Roman term or is a Kemetic term as some sources are conflicting. Regardless, the sciences, esoteric teachings and philosophies of ancient Kemet had influenced the philosophy, language and mysticism found in ancient Greece and Rome and influenced the philosophies of all races and nations.
Now that I’m thinking about it, I wonder why the author Wayne Chandler of the book Ancient Future chose to keep the Greek word Hermetic in his title when its origins are clearly Kemetic. Even if, as it is said, that Hermes is a combination of the Kemetic Tehuti and the Greek god Hermes, then why choose the Greek over the Kemetic? I'm sure he has his reasons.
I don’t know if you’ve also heard of The Emerald Tablets of Tehuti or The Emerald Tablets of Thoth (known by the Greeks as The Emerald Tablets of Hermes Trismegistus) which is a writing on the three parts of the wisdom of the whole universe - the three parts being alchemy, astrology, and theurgy (magic performed with the help of beneficent spirits).
