I propose that this page be redirected to Hermetica.

"Hermetics is the deliberate use of exceedingly obscure, convoluted, or esoteric literary or graphical symbolism and imagery."

This definition is pejorative, and reads like a dictionary definition, nether of which qualify as suitable for Wikipedia.

"Hermetic" is an adjective. The noun form is "hermeticism". There is no plural form except as a neologism, noted on some websites. I was not able to find any credible references to support the above definition or for any use of the word "hermetics" with the final "s".

Unless there is a good argument otherwise, I'm going to redirect this to Hermetic_(disambiguation).
