EMERALD
TABLET OF HERMES
The Emerald Tablet of Hermes, is a heretical text purporting to reveal
the secret of the primordial substance and its transmutation. This
short and cryptic text contains knowledge about the "One Thing" which
was highly regarded by early alchemists as the foundation of their
art--the first principal of alchemy.
The most widely known text of this ancient tablet are:
It
is true without lie, certain and without doubt,
that what is below is like what is above,
and
what is above is like what is below,
to accomplish the miracles of the
One Thing.
