Modern Man may scoff at the medical knowledge of the ancients among whom we are proud to count the ancient Greeks, but it would be a mistake, for those ancients were filled with knowledge which by definition is Ancient Knowledge and not to be scoffed at and Modern Woman may scoff at the medical knowledge of the ancients among whom we are proud to count the ancient Greeks, but it would be a mistake, for those ancients were filled with knowledge which by definition is Ancient Knowledge and not to be scoffed at.
A good example of the powers known only to the ancients is that Symbol of Power known as the Caduceus, or Wand of Hermès, mistakenly known as the Rod of Asclepius. The Rod of Asclepius has powers of which we moderns can only dream. Asclepius was a mage and healer of great Gnostic knowledge. He was a good friend to Caduceus and often had a nice meal with him, afterwards healing the sick and wounded.
Do not laugh, Modern Man, for you must be humble before the occult powers of those ancient mighty sages, Asclepius and Caduceus who both had snake sticks, though the snake sticks differed slightly, most obviously in the number of snakes: two snakes for Caduceus and one snake for Asclepius and do not laugh, Modern Woman, for you must be humble before the occult powers of those ancient mighty sages, Asclepius and Caduceus who both had snake sticks, though the snake sticks differed slightly, most obviously in the number of snakes: two snakes for Caduceus and one snake for Asclepius!
