WINTER HERMETICISM
"AD FONTES!"
Back to the Source
A Sacred Journey into Hermetic Wisdom, Lilith’s Mysteries, and the Nature of Reality
Do You Feel the Call of Winter’s Stillness?
​Life often feels overwhelming—filled with noise, distractions, and a sense of disconnection from ourselves and the deeper mysteries of existence. Many of us yearn for something more:
​
-
To understand the true nature of reality.
-
To tap into ancient wisdom that feels alive and relevant.
-
To reclaim our feminine power in a world that has long ignored it.
-
​
But how do we move beyond the surface and find clarity, balance, and transformation?
Step Into the Winter Hermeticism Salon
At The Lilith Academy, we know that true wisdom requires embracing the sacred feminine and integrating ancient teachings into our modern lives. This is why Hermeticism—a philosophy rooted in the mysteries of Hermes Trismegistus and Thoth—offers the perfect key to understanding not only the universe but also Lilith, the archetype of untamed wisdom and the raw essence of nature itself.
In this 12-week salon, you will explore Hermetic principles and their connection to Lilith’s truths, uncovering how these teachings illuminate the cycles of life, shadow, and spiritual awakening. Winter becomes our guide as we journey inward, reflecting on the alchemy of transformation and the power of communication as a portal to the unknown.
Ad Fontes:
Returning to the Source
In the shadow of the Dark Ages, Hermeticists championed the phrase "Ad Fontes"—a Latin call to go "back to the source." This rallying cry emerged from a world where humanity's wisdom had been obscured, buried beneath the weight of religious dogma and false morality. Uprooted from ancient truths, society traded the depth of philosophy for the rigidity of zealotry, losing its connection to the eternal principles that guide human existence.
For Hermeticists, "Ad Fontes" was more than a slogan—it was a movement to reclaim the roots of human thought, to confront the universal truths that demand we wrestle with the mysteries of life. Philosophy, unlike dogma, does not dictate; it invites us to explore, to question, and to liberate our minds from the parasitic grip of institutionalized religion.
This return to the source is not merely a historical pursuit; it is a deeply personal one, especially for modern women. In a world where the feminine spirit has been fractured by centuries of suppression, we must also return to Lilith—the archetype of balance, wholeness, and untamed wisdom. Lilith embodies the homeostasis of the feminine soul, a force that harmonizes wildness with power, shadow with light.
By embracing Hermeticism, we reconnect with this primal wisdom, reclaiming our sovereignty and restoring our fractured spirits. Through Hermetic practice, we align with the rhythms of Lilith and the source itself—rediscovering the ancient truths that empower us to become whole once more.

Your Guide
​
I’m Chriselda Pacheco, Founder of The Lilith Academy and a consecrated Gnostic priestess. For over a decade, I’ve guided women in decolonizing their minds, reclaiming their power, and integrating shadow work into their lives.
This salon is my offering to help you embody the balance of Hermetic wisdom and Lilith’s untamed essence.
"I have been so disheartened by today's political and religious dogma from all sides and needed something to help me navigate today's world. I only had a basic grasp of hermeticism, and I mostly observed from afar. Then Chriselda brought it into sharp focus, transforming it into something vivid and 5-D, making it incredibly relatable. She has a knack for showing how it's essentially just common sense, echoing ancient and indigenous wisdom. It’s enlightening to see how the philosophy of Hermeticism remains relevant today, even though it's often suppressed or overlooked in the religious conversations that dominate our lives. I strongly recommend Chriselda's Hermeticism Salon to any woman seeking a philosophical anchor in our turbulent times".

Are You Ready to Dive Deep Into the Heart of Winter's Wisdom?
We were always meant to rest in winter. Our bodies are attuned to the rhythms of nature, bound to her perennial wisdom and truth. Yet, in modern society, we live under a cultural calendar that honors neither the seasons nor their sacred initiations. Instead, we are forced into the grind of endless productivity, pretending every day is the same—like an eternal Groundhog Day—punctuated only by holidays created to serve corporate interests, not the soul’s needs.
But nature has not forgotten, and neither have you...
...Winter is a sacred pause, a season meant for introspection, release, and transformation. It is here, in the quiet stillness of the earth, that the ancient mysteries call to you, inviting you to realign with the wisdom that has always been your birthright.
The Winter Hermeticism Salon offers a path back to this truth—a space to honor the rhythms of nature, reconnect with your body’s sacred cycles, and reclaim the initiations that guide us through the seasons. By embracing the teachings of Hermeticism and the untamed power of Lilith, you will rediscover your place within the grand dance of creation.
This is your opportunity to step off the treadmill of modern life and into the ancient, cyclical wisdom of the cosmos.
Will you answer the call and align with the transformative power of winter?
