Of Course
I have no problem with that at all! The search for Light is the search for answers to life mysteries.
Hermeticism is a philosophical religion dating from around the same time as Christianity, though it's roots are much older, going back to the Ancient Egyptian and Greek Mystery schools, similar in that respect to Freemasonry. It's deity is "panetheistic", called The All, The Absolute, The Father, The Universal Mother, among many names. "Panetheistic" beliefs are best described with the Hermetic maxim "While All is in The All, it is equally true that The All is in All." Our deity is by necessity androgynous, containing both masculine and feminine aspects in perfect equilibrium.
The Story goes that Hermes Tristmegistus (thrice great Hermes, also Thoth or Mercurius ter Maximus) fell asleep on a hill and met Poimandres the Nous(mind) of the Supreme, who taught Hermes the 3 parts of the Wisdom of the Whole Universe, Alchemy(knowledge of the sun/light/nature), Astrology(knowledge of the moon/stars/darkness) and Theurgy(knowledge and use of Divine Magic). Those who master all 3 as Hermes did, is able to move with the Universe in such a way as to be in a state similar to Lucid Dreaming, even while awake.
To acquire these teaching we use the 4 Hermetic Arts - Astrology, Qabalah, Numerology and especially the Tarot, where the 3 others come together, in a most amazing way. It is said that someone with the Tarot, true knowledge of its use, locked away for years can emerge with complete knowledge on any subject.
An easy way of seeing it is this way, if God is the shepherd and we are the sheep, could you imagine God running around with a shepherds' crook trying to gather the sheep together or defend them? No of course not, the thought alone makes me laugh honestly. He uses the Sheep dog for that reason. Hermes is that sheep dog, conveying God' gnosis and love to those who are ready for it, but it is not for the faint hearted or uncommitted. The knowledge will only be available to the just, the true, the honest and moral Man or Woman. Some evil people can and have gained some of that Gnosis but the All will never give it's highest secrets to the undeserving. Hermes himself was told to be the one to gift Man with all knowledge inc. writing, geometry, medicine and all other "high arts", and has been thought of as possibly being Moses, or even King Solomon himself.
So much could be said about Hermeticism I could not list it all here, but feel free to ask any and all questions, I will gladly answer. I hope this has some what answered your question.
