Emerald Tablet,Hermes, alchemy, hermetic, christ, |
 | | The Emerald Tablet is the cornerstone of western alchemical thought. |
 | | An emerald is something of great worth extracted from the earth and mirrors the true work of the Hermetic practice of alchemy, i.e., extracting something of great worth (the spirit) from the physical body. |
 | | The emerald is a symbol of "en-LIGHT-ened" Man. Man, according to the Hermetic Philosophy, is a physical form (symbolized by the moon because the body, like the moon, is a baron wasteland without the spirit or "light" of the Sun / spirit) composed of two seeming opposing forces: spirit and body. |
