Pupil of the Cosmos "Kore Kosmou"

Kore Kosmou is the largest fragment from Stobaean Hermetica. Johannes Stobaeus was a 5th century Macedonean scholar who compiled a huge amounts of ancient writings chiefly for his son's education but his efforts help us read many hermetic fragments including Kore Kosmou today.

In 2018 David Litwa published translation of hermetic fragments that were not part of Corpus Hermeticum, these include Stobaean fragments, Viennese fragments and writing of other scholars referring to Hermetic writings.

Kore Kosmou has a definite Egyptian theme to it. It is written as dialogue between the goddess Isis and her son Horus. In succinct little chapters it gives an explanation of creation of the universe, human place in the universe, humanity’s fall and possible return to grace and even a background story on Hermes himself. Some scholars place the origin of this fragment to the time of 5th or 6th century BCE.

It is an honor to be able to study this material after thousands of years of mythological and spiritual cleansing and destruction.

This Meetup is for those who are deeply interested in mythology, teleology, Hermetica, esoterica, and hellenistic writings.

Expectations are that you will do the reading assigned for that session and participate respectfully.
