Poimandres

Poimandres ("Poemandres", also known as "Poemander" or "Pimander") is a chapter in the "Corpus Hermeticum". It was originally written in Greek.

It is also a sort of deity or attribute of God. To quote (Blackmask translation):

:Then said I, " Who art Thou?":"I am," quoth he, "Poemander, the mind of the Great Lord, the most Mighty and absolute Emperor: I know what thou wouldest have, and I am always present with thee."

And in the G.R.S. Mead translation:

:"And I do say: Who art thou? He saith: I am Man-Shepherd (Poemandres), Mind of all-masterhood; I know what thou desirest and I'm with thee everywhere."
