"Some Philosophy of the Hermetics" is a decidedly strange work, written by an author whose most well known text was not just posthumous but written by another person, via automatic writing. The material here is not really Hermetic except insofar as it is deeply veiled, theatrical, and symbolic. Although the entire meaning is not fully clear, it appears to regard the process of birth, life, reproduction, and death, via a series of essays with both encouragements and warnings regarding imagination, the use of magic, and interacting with the world in an occult manner.
