By Hermes Phimegistus

Hermes Phimegistus is a descendant of Hermes Trismegistus, whose eponymous Hermeticism was the progenitor of Western scientific traditions. He has brought forth into this time the subtle knowledge of "As Above, So Below" that pertains to the mind, body, spirit, and brain.

He is the jackdaw.
