赫密士主義

荷米斯主義（英語：Hermeticism或Hermetism）是個宗教性與哲學性的傳統，主要是基於被歸為荷米斯·崔斯墨圖（三重而偉大的荷米斯）所著的偽典^[1]。這些著作深深地影響了西方秘教，並被認為在文藝復興^[2]和宗教革命^[3]時期有着極大的重要性。

許多作家，包括拉克坦提烏斯、居普良、希波的奧古斯丁、馬爾西利奧·費奇諾、喬瓦尼·皮科·德拉·米蘭多拉、焦爾達諾·布魯諾、托馬索·康帕內拉、托馬斯·布朗爵士和拉爾夫·沃爾多·愛默生，認為荷米斯是一個智慧的信使，預見了基督教的到來。

關於荷米斯·崔斯墨圖為什麼會得到「三重而偉大」之名的理由出自《荷米斯·崔斯墨圖的翡翠石板》，那裏記載着祂知道整個宇宙智慧的三個部份^[4]。這三個部份分別是煉金術、占星術與神通術。

因為荷米斯主義和1300年～1600年科學發展的關聯，它的重要性大大地提昇了。令人注意的是，荷米斯主義帶來了影響或控制自然的想法，使得許多科學家去注意魔法與相關的技術（例如煉金術和占星術），這些技術在思考上，可以將自然用於實驗意義上的測驗。必然地，荷米斯主義著作的實用價值吸引了科學家的目光。^[5]

語源學

「荷米斯的」一詞源於中世紀的拉丁文「hermeticus」,由希臘神話中神祇荷米斯的名字演化而來。英語中，該詞被證實起源於17世紀，如「荷米斯的作者」（如羅伯特·弗拉德）
