According to this website : https://www.hermeticfellowship.org/HFHermeticism.html

"Hermeticism is an ancient spiritual, philosophical, and magical tradition. It is a path of spiritual growth. Hermeticism takes its name from the God Hermês Trismegistos (Greek, "Thrice-Greatest Hermes"), a Græco-Egyptian form of the great Egyptian God of Wisdom and Magic, Thôth."

And according to this : https://www2.kenyon.edu/Depts/Religion/Fac/Adler/Reln101/definitions.pdf

"A religion is a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things, that is to say, things set apart and forbidden – beliefs and practices which unite into one single moral community called a Church, all those who adhere to them." (b) [Religion is] "the self-validation of a society by means of myth and ritual." [seeÉmile Durkeim, The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life]

What do you know about Hermeticism? Or what do you think about Hermeticism?

If someone in a formal constitution is recognized by the authorities as adhering to the specific religion nor the religion that came from their parents, do you think someone is said to be sinful when worshiping by adhering to and/or combining several religions? Why?
