Hermetics
Hermetics cannot be twisted — and that's why I follow this path

← Back to all articlesHermetic law cannot be twisted. Not by the mind. Not by opinion. Not by anyone's preferences or emotions. It is what it is — today, a thousand years ago, and a thousand years from now. That is why I follow a hermetic path.
A law, not a mood
Most of what we're taught to trust shifts depending on who's talking, what they want, or how they feel that day. Hermetic principles don't. As above, so below. Cause and effect. Vibration, polarity, rhythm — the same laws govern a candle flame and a galaxy, whether or not anyone in the room believes in them. A law like that doesn't ask permission. It was true before anyone wrote it down, and it will be true after everyone alive today has forgotten they read this.
Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon says the same thing more plainly: “And if they are shared by every human on earth, shouldn't I know what those are?” Just a hint, not an argument. Some things you don't have to be convinced of. You just have to be shown where to look.
It is what it is
Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon puts a simple picture to it. Imagine a table standing in the middle of a room:
“It doesn't matter what someone's opinion about that table is. They can like the table, hate the table, say it's too big, too small, wrong color, wrong material — they can have any opinion they want about that table, but the table will not change because of their applied opinion to it. Hermetics is like the table. It is what it is.”
That's the clarity hermetic law brings — order where there was noise, cutting through whatever isn't aligned with the light, simply by being what it has always been.
Keys of the Ancients
Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon is a world-renowned Hermetic master teacher and best-selling author. He teaches Keys of the Ancients: A Hermetic Crossing into the Lineage of King Salomon, a five-day immersive class that unveils the hidden keys of Hermetic wisdom — deep initiatory teachings, and practical tools for self-mastery. Hermetics, in his words, isn't reserved for a select few:
“Hermetics is there for everyone. It's not something created. It's not a philosophy. It's not an opinion. It's not even a belief system. It is a factual matter.”
You can hear him teach on this at length in Keys of the Ancients Explained, his own Q&A on what the class is, who it's for, and why so many people describe it as the missing piece.
Know thyself
Everything taught in the Modern Mystery School rests on hermetics. Life Activation, Empower Thyself, Sacred Geometry, Astral Travel, Healers Academy, Ritual Master, and every healing or initiation between them — different doors, one purpose: to restore the correct order in the world, one person at a time, by helping each of us do what the ancients called know thyself.
Keys of the Ancients is where I recommend you go to draw that wisdom straight from its source. Study with one of the lineage holders in London. Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon, who holds the keys of this lineage together with two other gentlemen and the Council of Twelve, is also my own Ritual Master teacher — I had to wait until becoming a Ritual Master to learn from him, and it was and still is an honor :) Keys of the Ancients came out later, because the world is prepared: people are ready to face themselves and to learn the truth about this world and beyond, in a practical manner.
And I want you to know this: he once stood exactly where you're standing now — maybe not in front of a screen, reading these lines, but taking the same steps you're taking, or considering taking. Life Activation. Empower Thyself. Sacred Geometry. Astral Travel. Healers Academy. Ritual Master. And so on.
Which means this is a progressive path. You can get here one day too, by walking it — with training, discipline, and perseverance — until you become someone who creates real, valuable change in people's lives, and in the world. There are no self-appointed teachers in this school. We understand the real value of merit. Cause and effect.
What I offer clients in Prague sits inside that same lineage — the same hermetic keys, closer to home, one session at a time.
Curious what that looks like in practice? The easiest first step is a warm, free conversation. Start there.
