{"product_id":"9781584200499","title":"Green Hermeticism: Alchemy and Ecology","description":"Hermeticism or alchemy is the sacred science of nature by which human beings in all times and places have sought to unite Heaven and Earth-divinity, cosmos, earth, and humanity-for the sake of the world. Dedicated to healing and harmony, it has accompanied each religious epoch and every revelation from India and China to the Abrahamic West. In a sense, it is the primal cosmological revelation: the common element in all spiritual traditions. Nevertheless, in the revival of spiritual traditions and practices, Hermeticism and alchemy-like Nature herself-have been largely ignored. Green Hermeticism proposes that it is time to explore not only our ancient masters' \"inner\" sciences, but also their sciences of Nature.\u003cp\u003eWith this in mind, a series of gatherings was held at the Abode of the Message in Upstate New York to unfold the contemporary meaning of Hermeticism. Green Hermeticism is a partial record of what went on. Peter Lamborn Wilson explores many aspects and possibilities-symbolic, imaginal, and practical-opened up by the idea of Green Hermeticism; Christopher Bamford provides a broad historical and metaphysical overview of the tradition from the Ancient Mysteries to the present day; while Kevin Townley teaches the preparation of herbal elixirs, demonstrating that cosmology and philosophy can become a truly healing path for the Earth. Green Hermeticism is necessary reading for anyone seeking a spiritual and cultural path for the healing of our current ecological and cultural moment.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SteinerBooks, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50096571416816,"sku":"9781584200499","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781584200499","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
