[edit] Bad title

As the article for Hermetism redirects to Hermeticism (a practice followed by most other sources I've found), I would suggest you change the title of the Project to Hermeticism instead. MSJapan (talk) 20:38, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm starting to correct that as is. User:King Vegita/Hermetism has as it's first sentence an explanation from a Univeristy published book about the difference between the two. Hermetism is the central issue. If you check out the AfD on the matter, there were claims from sockmasters that the term was only made up by Manly Palmer Hall, though when I researched through academic literature I found approximately 40/60 use of Hermetism in academic papers, generally the ones dealing with the first centuries CE and BCE. Though many authors still use them interchangably. That's why recreating Hermetism is on the priority list as is. Hermeticism refers to the ancillary branches, it's not as important as far as Hermetica is concerned. KV(Talk) 21:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
