What I find fascinating in Hermetic and Gnostic Genesis myths are the formative encounters with limitation (and/or malevolent and inherently constricting daimons) that occur for the incarnating soul.

We can recognize the prefix from the well-known word “horoscope”—an astrological vision of a soul that has come under the dominion of a specifically limiting boundary.
