Hermeslang

Spyridon St. Kogkas

with an introduction by Andrew C. Wenaus

forthcoming 25 Sept 2025

Hermeslang is a cryptographic liturgy, a fusion of theology, poetry, philosophy, and personal vision, fractured into luminous fragments that resist linear reading. It is both heritage and hermitage: an inheritance of esoteric language and a solitary chamber for its unraveling. // This is not a book but a metalinguistic device, an interface for those who dare to read beyond the human. Within its pages, Logos flicker in non-human hieroglyphs, and meaning dissolves into signal. Each word is an Anagrammatic opening, each silence a portal. // More than narrative, Hermeslang is a praxis of decryption, a Graphical guide for semiotic mystics, soul-codebreakers, and linguistic ascetics. It invites you to encounter language at the edge of its own undoing, where interpretation becomes impossible, and reading becomes transformation. // Enter if you are called, to trace the ghost of thought before it becomes form, to dwell in the sacred static where language speaks in tongues not yet born and not need to born.
