Hermes Trimegisto e Sua Celeste Tábua de Esmeralda
Jorge Ben Jor
Hermes Trismegistus and His Celestial Emerald Tablet
Hermetic treatise written by the Egyptian pharaoh
Hermes Trismegistus and translated by Fulcanelli
Hermes Trismegistus wrote
With a diamond tip
On an emerald blade
What is below
Is like what is above
What is above
Is like what is below
And through these things, miracles are made
From one thing
And like all these things
Are and come from one
Through the mediation of one, thus
All these things are born
From this one thing by adaptation
By adaptation
The Sun is its father
The Moon is its mother
The wind carried it in its belly
The earth is its nourisher and receptacle
The father of all, the Telemeu
Of the universal world is here
Its strength or power is whole
If it is, is, is, converted into earth
You shall 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 superior things
And of inferior things
You will have through this means the glory
Of the world, of the world
And all darkness will flee from you
It is the force and all force
For it will overcome any subtle thing
And penetrate any solid thing
Thus the world was created
From it will come admirable adaptations
Of which here the means is given
Therefore, I was called Hermes Trismegistus
Having the three parts of universal philosophy
What was said of the solar work is complete
