Hermetic magic is a type of mysticism, or spirituality, connected quite often with alchemy or mystical systems such as Jewish or Gnostic mysticism. It descends from collections of esoteric such as "The Magus" (a compilation by Barrett of collected material from Agrippa) and writings of import to their mystical milieu such as "The Picatrix" by Ghayat al-Hakim, and "Kabbalah Denudata" attrbuted to Christian Knorr von Rosenroth. It proceeds into today's world through magical orders like the Golden Dawn and exponents derivative of such organizations such as Arthur Edward Waite, Israel Regardie, Aleister Crowley, and Tabitha and Chic Cicero.
