Can they work together or not?

Gnosticism is anti-Demiurge. It's goal is to escape the world by ceasing to reincarnate. In that respect, it's very similar to Buddhism (at least the original version as taught by Buddha).

Hermeticism is pro-Demiurge, it just wants to learn about the world, the secrets of the Demiurge so to speak. It's definitely not trying to escape reincarnation like Gnosticism is.

As to whether Christianity is gnostic or not... it depends who you ask. As with every religious/philosophical teaching, there is disagreement, and the original teachings get infiltrated and warped into its exact opposite.

Christianity, as Christ taught it, is absolutely not what it later became under the Catholic Church, and even the Protestant Reformation still missed the mark.

Good and pretty accurate explanation here, IMO. Though I don't know as much about hermeticism as I do about gnosticism, this anon's explanation squares with hermeticism as I know and understand it
