The Virgin of the World of Hermes Mercurius Trismagistus

Anna Kingsford's edition and interpretation presents Hermetic teachings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, especially the cosmological and spiritual symbolism of the "Virgin of the World." Historically, it helped renew modern interest in Hermetic texts; readers will find translation, commentary, and esoteric reflections on creation, the soul, and divine wisdom.

Anna Kingsford (1846–1888) was an English physician, vegetarian activist, and one of the notable women writers in nineteenth-century esoteric and occult circles. Her works, often produced in collaboration with Edward Maitland, expressed visionary, mystical, and theosophical ideas and contributed to feminist and spiritual reform currents.
