Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hermetic Serpent Yoga? Hermetic Serpent Yoga is a practice that weaves together Western Hermetic principles with the ancient wisdom of India and Tibet. It is designed to ground you in the knowledge of your true self, allowing you to weather the storms of life without breaking. It unites the shadow and the ego with the highest self to create harmony both within and without.

What is the core philosophy of the HSS? We follow a Non-Dualist path. We recognize the God and Goddess energy as one single Divine source. We venerate the union of Shiva (Divine Masculine) and Shakti (Divine Feminine) as the energy of all creation. We believe this energy exists within us, just as we exist within it.

What is the "Kundalini" you speak of? In our teachings, Kundalini is the life force, the "coiled serpent" at the base of the spine. Biologically, we view this as the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)—the clear liquid that nourishes and protects the brain and spinal cord. Spiritually, it is the sexual energy and creative force that connects you to all things, people, and lifetimes.

How do you approach healing? We believe healing begins at the Heart Chakra, the gate to the entire chakra system. We use meditation and self-hypnosis to unlock the heart, allowing us to integrate our shadow, inner child, and ego. This process transforms pain into pleasure, suffering into healing, and lust into creative passion.

Is this a traditional religious group? No. The HSS is specifically for those who do not fit into traditional paths. We are a spiritual community founded on equality. We are free of gurus, free of rigid gender roles, or rigid structure and We promote Love over fear and condemnation of our neighbors. We recognize the spark of truth in all paths and seek to unite in the power of unconditional True Love.
