The Emerald Tablets of Thoth (Hermes Trimesgistus)

Translated by Doreal

Tablet One - A History of Thoth the Atlantean

I, Thoth, the Atlantean, master of mysteries, keeper of records, mighty king, magician, living fromgeneration to generation, being about to pass into the Halls of Amenti, set down for the guidance of those that are to come after, these records of the mighty wisdom of Great Atlantis.In the great city of Keor on the island of Undal in a time far past, I began this incarnation. Not asthe little men of the present age did the mighty ones of Atlantis live and die, but rather from aeon toaeon did they renew their life in the Halls of Amenti where the river of life flows eternally onward.A hundred times ten have I descended the dark way that led into light, and as many times have Iascended from the darkness into the light, my strength and power renewed.

Tablet Two - The Law of cause and Effect and of Prophesy

List ye, O man, to the words of my wisdom,

list to the voice of Thoth, the Atlantean.Conquered have I the Law of time-space.Knowledge have I gained of the future of time.Know I that man in his movement through s pace-time shall ever be One with the AllKnow ye, O man,that all of the future is an open book to him who can read.All effect shall bring forth its causesas all effects grew from the first cause.Know ye the future is not fixed or stable but varies as cause brings forth an effect.Look in the cause thou shalt bring into being,and surely thou shalt see that all is effect.So, O man, be sure the effects that ye bringforth are ever causes of more perfect effects.Know ye the future is never in fixation butfollows man's free will as it moves throughthe movements of time-space towardthe goal where a new time begins.Man can only read the future throughthe causes that bring the effects.Seek ye within the causation andsurely ye shall find the effects.List ye, O man, while I speak of the future,speak of the effect that follows the cause.Know ye that man in his journey light-wardis ever seeking escape from the night that surrounds him,like the shadows that surround the stars in the skyand like the stars in the sky-space, he, too,shall shine from the shadows of night.Ever his destiny shall lead him onwarduntil he is One with the Light.Aye, though his way lies midst the shadows,ever before him glows the Great Light.Dark though the way be yet shall he conquer the shadows that flow around him like night.Far in the future, I see man as Light-born,free from the darkness that fetters the Soul,living in Light without the bounds of the darknessto cover the Light that is Light of their Soul.Know ye, O man, before ye attain this thatmany the dark shadows shall fall on your Lightstriving to quench with the shadows of darknessthe Light of the Soul that strives to be free.Great is the struggle between Light and darkness,

age old and yet ever new. Yet, know in a time, far in the future,Light shall be All and darkness shall fall.List ye, O man, to my words of wisdom.Prepare and ye shall not bind your Light.Man has risen and man has fallen as ever newwaves of consciousness flow from the greatabyss below us toward the Sun of their goal.Ye, my children, have risen from a statethat was little above the beast,until now of all men ye are greatest.Yet before thee were others greater than thee.Yet tell I thee as before thee others have fallen,so also shall ye come to an end.And upon the land where ye dwell now, barbarians shall dwell and in turn rise to Light.Forgotten shall be the ancient-wisdom,yet ever shall live though hidden from men.Aye, in the land thou callest Khem,races shall rise and races shall fall.Forgotten shalt thou be of the children of men.Yet thou shalt have moved to a star-space beyond this leaving behind this place where thou has dwelt.The Soul of man moves ever onward, bound not by any one star.But ever moving to the great goal before himwhere he is dissolved in the Light of the All.Know ye that ye shall ever go onward,moved by the Law of cause and effectuntil in the end both become OneAye, man, after ye have gone,others shall move in the places ye lived.Knowledge and wisdom shall all be forgotten,and only a memory of Gods shall survive.As I to thee am a God by my knowledge,so ye, too shall be Gods of the future because of your knowledge far above theirs.Yet know ye that all through the ages,man shall have access to Law when he will.Ages to come shall see revival of wisdomto those who shall inherit thy place on this star.They shall, in turn, come into wisdomand learn to banish the darkness by Light.Yet greatly must they strive through the agesto bring unto themselves the freedom of Light.Then shall there come unto man the great warfarethat shall make the Earth tremble and shake in its course.
