This is a fascinating story about the God of Commerce we know as Hermes, worms, servants, purple silk, gold, and power. A 
true story hidden in myth, and concealed in allegorized tales. Let me help lift the purple veil on these truths, to dispel these myths and explain these allegories.
The God Hermes was created by a race of people who were primarily known by the name of the Phoenicians who had ruled the Mediterranean Sea, and many other countries for thousands of years. They were, and are still well-known world-wide as a wealthy sea-faring race who produced some of the most profitable commercial goods ever known to humankind. The Phoenicians were the first people to become world-wide travelers of the sea and waterways, who had made home to wherever they brought their boats, goods, gods, goddesses and languages.
Much of the commercial goods they had created never went out of style such as the God Hermes, weapons, poisons, medicines, pottery, baskets, wine, beer, and what they were really most anciently famous for, purple dye and purple garments that they had created from the purple or crimson dye produced by silkworms.
This silk of the Phoenicians was called “royal purple,” and was mainly worn by the priesthood, royalty, and Elite. I wrote about this is a previous article called The Royal Purple Silk Prostitute. Socrates had said of Athens, that purple cost three minas, which in his time would equate to almost a years worth of wages to the average Greek. The Athenian nation was said to be the only one clothed in purple, that had vanquished men clad in steel. (more…)

In mythology, the Phoenician God Hermes was known by the Greeks and Romans as Mercury. He is credited with the invention of 
the fine arts,’ of the lyre, of medicine, of letters, of commerce, of magic, and of wrestling. The ancient Egyptians version of Hermes was known as Thoth, who was also the inventor of writing, magic and the arts. He is sometimes referred to as the trickster, and in the Iliad he was called “the bringer of good luck,” “guide and guardian”, and “excellent in all the tricks.” Hermes is also known as an inventor of fire, god of commerce and profit.
The confusion, or multitude of various character aspects to the God Hermes is primarily due to both the mythological creations by various authors such as Homer who attributed secrets, or their own perceptions to his character, and also the many authors who have also done the same. Fast forward 3,000 years to today and thousands of stories later, and we now have the end result being about 100 different meanings for this God.
Over the course of my research during the last several years, I have come to realize that if you want to find the true meaning of any subject, myth or God, you have to begin by studying the actual etymology of the words used to name that which you seek to understand. Another rule I have, is that you cannot be placed under a spell by those authors who spell and entrance their words and works into your head, without doing your own type of magical spelling to make sure you do not become spell bound.
Hence, don’t be tricked by the trickster……. (more…)

(By Manly P. Hall) – Thoth Hermes Trismegistus, the founder of Egyptian learning, the Wise Man of the ancient world, gave to the priests and 
philosophers of antiquity the secrets which have been preserved to this day in myth and legend. These allegories and emblematic figures conceal the secret formulæ for spiritual, mental, moral, and physical regeneration commonly known as the Mystic Chemistry of the Soul (alchemy). These sublime truths were communicated to the initiates of the Mystery Schools, but were concealed from the profane.
The latter, unable to understand the abstract philosophical tenets, worshiped the concrete sculptured idols which were emblematic of these secret truths. The wisdom and secrecy of Egypt are epitomized in the Sphinx, which has preserved its secret from the seekers of a hundred generations. The mysteries of Hermeticism, the great spiritual truths hidden from the world by the ignorance of the world, and the keys of the secret doctrines of the ancient philosophers, are all symbolized by the Virgin Isis.
Veiled from head to foot, she reveals her wisdom only to the tried and initiated few who have earned the right to enter her sacred presence, tear from the veiled figure of Nature its shroud of obscurity, and stand face to face with the Divine Reality.
