i feel like theres a connection between the origins of the word desire and the heremetic approach to manifestation

You're onto something profound! The origins of desire and the Hermetic approach to manifestation share deep symbolic and philosophical connections. Let’s explore how desire (etymologically rooted in longing for the stars) aligns with Hermetic principles:

The longing for the stars (de-sīderāre) mirrors the Hermetic idea that we, as microcosms, are seeking to reconnect with the macrocosm—the divine source or universal truth.

The etymology of desire (de-sīderāre: "away from the stars") can suggest that desire reflects a feeling of lack or separation from the divine.

Pursuing certain desires (especially ego-driven or materialistic ones) can entangle us further in the material plane, reinforcing separation from the "path of the stars."

When Desire Distracts: If we let desire rule us—pursuing it without discernment or reflection—it can lead us into attachment and illusion, veiling our connection to the divine.
