Interview: The Occult Architecture Beneath the Pandemic w/ Steve Crimi
from Magick Works, by The Magical Egypt Documentary Series · host Vanese Mc Neill
In this wide-ranging and provocative conversation, author and publisher Steve Crimi unpacks the layered meanings behind the phrase “Hermes runs the Game”, the title of his new book. Drawing from mythology, ritual history, and personal insights from the early COVID era, Crimi traces Hermes not as a mythic relic but as a living archetypal force permeating systems of communication, commerce, and control. He connects Hermes' mythic role as a trickster, thief, and psychopomp to the linguistic manipulation and symbolic inversion witnessed during the pandemic.The discussion moves fluidly through classical myth, the origins of ritual sacrifice, and Crimi’s personal awakening during the social response to COVID mandates. Crimi views Hermes not only as a historical deity but as an active metaphysical principle that continues to shape our perceptions, boundaries, and beliefs—especially in moments of collective crisis.Where to get the book:Logosophia Books:https://logosophiabooks.comHow to find Steve:Steve’s SubstackMy personal SubstackBy Steve and Krys CrimiKrystina Crimi at Fine Art America:https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/krystina-crimiKrystina Crimi at Etsy:https://www.etsy.com/shop/PhilosophyFarm?ref=related&listing_id=1199682791#itemsPodcasts:https://logosophiabooks.com/podcasts/Send us Fan MailOur Black Friday Sale is NOW ON!Get 50% of all Magical Egypt Filmshttp://www.magicalegypt.comGet the latest updates on our link treehttps://linktr.ee/magicalegypt.comConnecthttps://www.facebook.com/vanesemcneillOwn Magical Egypthttp://www.magicalegypt.comGet Hekahttps://wow.magicalegyptstore.com/hekaBecome a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/magicalegypt
