Ben and Chy discuss The Way of Hermes. A new(ish) translation of The Corpus Hermeticum and The Definitions of Hermes Trismegistus to Asclepius. Don't know what these things are? I'm honestly not sure if anyone does.

*Correction to episode: I accidentally conflate the Nag Hammadi find of the gnostic texts in Egypt with The Dead Sea Scrolls find in the Qumran Caves. The larger point about the mystique around the Dead Sea Scrolls is valid, but I'm off about the circumstances of the find.
