![The Dream of Scipio [w/ Latin and English Text]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IPEcjN4ksBU/hqdefault.jpg "The Dream of Scipio [w/ Latin and English Text]
Believe it or not, Marcus Tullius Ciceros Somnium Scipionis or The Dream of Scipio is one of Western Esotericisms most foundational documents. Drawn from Book VI of Ciceros Republic, it describes the famous night journey and astral ascent of the Roman general Scipio Aemilianus, two years before he oversaw the sack of Carthage in 146 BC. Modeled on Platos Myth of Er and emulated during the Middle Ages by such visionary works as Dantes Divine Comedy, this ancient text provides us with a vivid vision of Stoic-inspired soul-travel by ancient Romes single most eloquent rhetorician.

What is God? (Quid est Deus?) For centuries, ancient and medieval philosophers have wrestled among themselves with all manner of questions regarding the first cause of all things, the nature of divinity, and our role in the created cosmos. For the first time in English, scholars and translators Dan Attrell (the Modern Hermeticist) and Dr. David Porreca are bringing theoretical hermetic texts to light from the original Latin.
