"Hermes Trismegistus, the ancient sage and god of wisdom, magic, and alchemy, is depicted in this engraving from The Architects, Surveyors and Engineers Compendium of 1892. With his caduceus staff entwined with serpents, he represents the power and mystery of the natural world. Throughout history, the figure of Hermes has been associated with the supernatural, from the Loudun Nuns' exorcisms in 17th-century France, where nuns were believed to be possessed by demons, to attempts to exorcise evil spirits in places like San Spirito Hospital in Rome. The line between the natural and supernatural worlds has long been blurred, and the allure of magic and witchcraft continues to captivate us. Even in modern times, as we navigate the complexities of life, we may find ourselves seeking answers from the enigmatic Hermes, the swift messenger of the gods."
