herméticas

Herméticas is a term that can refer to several related concepts, primarily in the realm of literature and philosophy, stemming from the Greek word "hermetikos" which relates to Hermes Trismegistus.

In literature, "herméticas" can describe a style of writing that is deliberately obscure, esoteric, or difficult to understand. This style often employs complex symbolism, allusions, and a private language that requires specialized knowledge to fully decipher. Authors associated with hermetic poetry, for instance, may aim to evoke deep emotional or spiritual states rather than convey straightforward narratives or ideas. The focus is often on suggestion, mystery, and an inner experience.

Philosophically, herméticas is linked to Hermeticism, a religious and philosophical tradition based on writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. These texts, known as the Hermetica, cover a wide range of subjects including alchemy, astrology, theology, and magic. The philosophical tenets often emphasize the divine nature of the universe, the interconnectedness of all things, and the potential for human spiritual enlightenment.

The term "herméticas" also appears in the context of the "Corpus Hermeticum," a collection of Greek philosophical and religious writings that form the core of Hermetic tradition. These texts are considered foundational for understanding the historical and intellectual development of Hermeticism, which has influenced various mystical, occult, and philosophical movements throughout history. The inherent secrecy and mystery surrounding these teachings contribute to the idea of something being "herméticas" or closed off.
