Hermes Trismegistus

Khemetic Magus, Egyptian God Thoth, Greek God of Law & Letters

Action/Effort
The possession of knowledge, unless accompanied by a manifestation and expression in action, is like the hoarding of precious metals – a vain and foolish thing. Knowledge, like wealth, is intended for use.
in The Kybalion: Hermetic Philosophy , 1912, 1940
Balance
Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.
