The 7 Hermetic Laws Simplified | Guide to Universal Principles

The Wisdom of Hermes

The 7 Hermetic Laws come from Hermetic philosophy, teachings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. They describe the universal principles that govern both the cosmos and your personal life.

Here’s each law simplified for modern seekers:


1. The Law of Mentalism

“All is mind.” Everything starts as thought. Master your mind to master reality.

2. The Law of Correspondence

“As Above, So Below; As Within, So Without.” Your inner state reflects your outer world.

3. The Law of Vibration

Nothing rests; everything moves. Match the vibration of what you desire to attract it.

4. The Law of Polarity

Everything has opposites — light/dark, hot/cold. Both poles exist on the same spectrum.

5. The Law of Rhythm

The universe flows in cycles. Recognize patterns and align with natural timing.

6. The Law of Cause and Effect

Every action has a result. Be conscious of the causes you set in motion.

7. The Law of Gender

Masculine and feminine energies exist in all things. Balance creates harmony.


How to Use Them Daily

  • Journal your experiences through the lens of one law each week.

  • Practice balancing polarities (rest/action, yin/yang).

  • Meditate on “All is Mind” before setting manifestation intentions.
