I only get this because I've been listening to a lot of Esoterica at work. Hermes Trismegistus, Thrice-Great Hermes, is a sort of character invented by medieval occultists and treated as an author and founder of Hermetic mysticism. He's also both Greek Hermes and Egyptian Thoth.
Merkavah mysticism is something different but possibly related if you go way back.
Ah ok, thanks for the context. I take it he was also a figure to whom the medieval occultists directed their confessions and sought absolution from? I'm still not clear on what Maeve was implying with that comment, but that's ok.
When I see "merkava" I tend to think of Judaism and now of course the infamous Israeli tank, but that's probably not relevant to the reference.
Merkavah is specifically a kind of Jewish mysticism.
