Hermes Trismegisto

Hermes Trismegistus and his celestial emerald tablet

Hermes Trismegistus wrote
With a diamond tip on an emerald blade

What is below is like what is above
And what is above is like what is below

And by these things the miracles of one thing are done
And as all these things are and come from one
Through the mediation of the one
So all things are born from this one thing by adaptation

The Sun is its father, the Moon is the mother
The wind carried it in its belly
The earth is its nurse and receptacle

The Father of all, the Thelemic of the universal world is here
The Father of all, the Thelemic of the universal world is here

Its strength or power is whole
If it is converted into earth

You will separate the earth from the fire and the subtle from the dense
Gently, with great care
For it ascends from the earth and descends from the sky
And receives the force of higher things
And of lower things

You will have through this means the glory of the world
And all darkness will flee from you
And all darkness will flee from you

It is the force of all forces
For it will overcome anything subtle
And penetrate anything solid
Thus, the world was created
From it will come admirable adaptations
Of which here the means is given

Therefore I was called Hermes Trismegistus
Therefore I was called Hermes Trismegistus

Having the three parts of universal philosophy
Having the three parts of universal philosophy

What was said of the Solar Work is complete
What was said of the Solar Work is complete
