HERMETICISM?


"Hermeticists listen to – and now and then hear – the beating of the heart of the spiritual life of humanity. They cannot do otherwise than live as guardians of the life and communal soul of religion, science and art. They do not have any privilege in any of these domains; saints, true scientists, and artists of genius are their spiritual superiors. But they live for the mystery of the communal heart which beats within all religions, all philosophies, all arts and all sciences – past, present and future."


  - Anonymous, Meditations on the Tarot: A Journey Into Christian Hermeticism (written by Roman Catholic anthroposophist Valentin Tomberg)
