Emerald Tablet

The Emerald Tablet is an ancient cryptic text attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, often seen as a foundational work in alchemy and mystical philosophy. It contains a series of aphorisms and principles that describe the unity of all things, the process of transformation, and the idea that understanding the universe leads to inner enlightenment. Its famous phrase, "As above, so below," suggests that the microcosm (small world) reflects the macrocosm (large universe). Though its language is symbolic and mysterious, it emphasizes harmony, balance, and the interconnectedness of everything in the pursuit of spiritual and material mastery.
