Hi Lepus,
Cool link, I book marked it.
I learned a bit on the Emerald Tablet when I was at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, California a few months ago. They have pretty large show case display on
Egyptian Alchemy. They had a large replica of the Emerald Tablet as well. From my understanding, historians haven't exactly pinned the translation ( as there are various translations) However, at the Rosicrucian museums ( located in various states)specifically use and showcase
The seven phases of alchemy,. This system is like a purification process ( or transformation) leading to 'accession', reminds me a bit of working with the 7 charka system if you think about it.
I liked seeing how The alchemist worked with the same elements 'paganist' or similar groups use/adopted today. The same elements in Astrology and tarot of earth,air,wind, fire.
For each 7 stages, they used specific rocks, crystals and minerals to do their 'work'. Example, display. Here is step 1 one of the 7 'steps', Calcination or 'working with fire'. It's all really fascinating
Fascinating read:
