The Virgin of the World is a collection of Hermetic texts, attributed to the mythological figure Hermes Trismegistus, and compiled by the ancient Greek philosopher Stobaeus. The book contains a series of dialogues between Hermes and his disciple, Asclepius, discussing various philosophical and spiritual topics such as the nature of God, the creation of the universe, the human soul, and the afterlife.The text is divided into two parts: the first part explores the nature of the divine and the creation of the universe, while the second part focuses on the human soul and its journey towards enlightenment. Throughout the book, Hermes emphasizes the importance of spiritual purification and the cultivation of virtue as a means of attaining knowledge of the divine.The Virgin of the World has been highly influential in Western esotericism and has been cited by numerous philosophers, mystics, and occultists throughout history. The book is considered a key text in the Hermetic tradition, which emphasizes the unity of all things and the pursuit of spiritual knowledge as a means of achieving union with the divine.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Thrice Greatest Hermes Part 3, by Stobaeus .
