The Vision of Poimandres.

In the silence of eternity, Hermes Trismegistus beheld the First Mind as a dragon formed of stars and stone — Poimandres, the Voice of Light. Not beast, nor man, but the living Logos carved into the firmament itself.

Upon the wall of creation, its eyes burned with aeons, its breath carried the song of hidden spheres. With his caduceus in hand, Hermes did not bow, but listened — for the dragon was not his adversary, but the gatekeeper of all mysteries.

In its words, the Cosmos was revealed: that the human soul is twin to the Divine, born of light yet veiled in matter.

Thus began the Hermetic teaching — not written in ink, but engraved upon the very stone of being.
