In the history of Alchemy there are many great texts that focus on working with plants, metals, energy, psychology or spirit but I don’t believe that there is anything else quite like The Emerald Tablet.  It’s brief and easily fits on one page but there is so much in it that can be pulled out and used.  This post is the first in a series about The Emerald Tablet, with each focusing on a few elements and going into some depth with them.

The Emerald Tablet is attributed to Hermes Trismegistus who is a combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth.  There are many takes on the significance of this document  and in this series of posts I will be sharing a number of principles that come out of the Emerald Tablet.

Below is a recording of a talk I gave and under it is a listing of the topics and timings if you would like to jump to a certain topic rather than watching the entire video which is 56:48 long.
