Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus
Special Edition with Planet Mercury
We are excited to share with you two newly recreated
Mercury Talismans! A special pendant and ring, both
embedded with text from the Emerald Tablet, emerald stones
and the Egyptian sigils for the four elements (as Mercury
in alchemy is the vital spirit that transmutes the
elements). The Emerald Tablet is the most famous piece of
Hermetica and is said to contain the secret of the Prima
Materia - the base of all matter and existence which is
formless and beyond definition.
The Greek name for the planet Mercury
was Hermes, and he was associated with both the
mythological god and the semi-divine figure of the
wise Hermes Trismegistus, the legendary father of all
sciences. Therefore the wisdom of the Hermetic corpus
was intimately connected to with the planet Mercury
(which is associated with the active powers of the
intellect) and the emerald is its sacred stone.
Assembled on June 1st, 2019 between 12:57 - 13:48
(GMT+3)
This year Mercury’s visit to his own heavenly domicile
(Gemini) was very swift, as he was around his maximum
speed, separating from the superior conjunction with the
Sun. We caught him in an auspicious time window, as he was
just separating from the solar rays, culminating at the
Midheaven, while also being the ruler of the Rising sign
(Virgo). Additionally, at this election, he was also
“receiving” (ruling/disposing) the Sun into his own Sign,
as the Sun was also culminating in Gemini.
Disposing both rising sign and the sun, and culminating at
the Midheaven makes him the ultimate ruler of the chart,
and highlighting very powerfully all of his natural
qualities. His swiftness of motion is also considered an
empowering factor (accidental dignity), as he is more
active, quick to think and react, witty and gives fast
outcomes in the things he represents. This is truly a powerful Talisman for
writing, speaking, learning, memory, business
dealings, fast thinking, and acting on one's thoughts.
Mercury also has higher expressions and is also
considered the ‘revealer of mysteries’, and helps in
gaining a higher understanding and articulation of
occult and abstract truths.
Pendant Design
On the front side, the outer “frame” is composed of the
four classical elements (water, air, earth, and fire) with
their ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The text engraved in
the inner circle is a translation of the Emerald Tablet by
Fulcanelli’s.
The center of the pendant is set with an emerald stone and
the whole structure of the pendant, the circle with the
point in its center is actually the ancient symbol of the
Monad.
On the back of the pendant at the outer circle is, of
course, the ancient symbol of the Ouroboros which in
Alchemy represents also the Prima Materia, and the
constant change and transmutation of matter and the
universe. At the center of the back of the pendant appears
the ancient symbol of alchemy.
Ring Design
The ring is set with 4 emeralds stones and bears the four
ancient Egyptian symbols of the classical elements. The
engraving around the ring was taken from Fulcanelli’s
translation of the Emerald Tablet. It is my favorite
sentence “And since all things exist and emanate from the
One, who is the ultimate cause, so all things are born,
after their kind from this One."
