 The Ernerald Tablet
\t is certain, without falsehood and most true.

That wh ich is be\ow is like that which is above Jnd that above
like that which is below, to create the perfection of 01H.' thing;

As al\ things came from the one, by the mediation of the one, so
all things emerge from the one by choice

Whose father is the sun, whose mother is the moon, th e wind

cultivated it in its belly, its nurse is th e ea rth .

\tis the origin of all and the completion O}the world.

\ts force is complete when turned towar~earth . Separate earth
.
from fire, ~ros1 ._,,#•1'
the subtle from the· Mse, gently and witmcare

Ascend fron1 earth to heaven and descend, again to earth, trtus

~y~Y~,,.f. .feceiving-the powers of above and 9elow,·
. A,,,J Thus you will know the glory of th~ ~orld and all darkness will
flee from you.
This con1plete strength, once known, overcomes every subtlety
and penetrates every density.
Thus things form.

Henceforth wonders, whose means are here. So I am called

thrice greatest, having three parts of world philosophy.
With this, th e operation of the sun is fin\shed.
