“Hermetic readings of The Faerie Queene, then, are proper only when they subserve other solider readings, of which they are only the most purely aesthetic variant. For it was the glory of Florentine Neoplatonists and the Hermetic philosophers of the period that they sought, not material forms of the good, but intellectual forms. Thus, for them the idea of a redeemed court is truly an idea, a form not present to the mind’s eye except as the shadow of a ‘true type.’ By admitting such exegesis to our reading we return all prophetic types to their ideal Platonic sources. The poem exploits an intellectual raptus, enthusiasm in the imaginative realm, where prophetic vision encompasses the sphere of the mind reaching out toward the infinity of the Divine Mind. The Graces vanish when Sir Calidore interrupts their dance, and this whole mode of insight disappears before the intruding eyes of the uninitiated. At heart the Hermetic typologies of The Faerie Queene are always secret, that is, in the strictest sense they are mysteries. The details of the Hermetic iconography matter far less than the reader’s willingness to open up his mind to a degree of mystery in the poem. Spenser’s earliest readers had no problem doing this; why should we? Conceivably if we were to accept such magical lore more readily, we would know better when to apply and when not to apply a Hermetic reading.” —Angus Fletcher, The Prophetic Moment
