Ancient Spiral Emblem from Stone Age Temple-on the island of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea, more than 3500 years old.
As the worshipers entered the holy place they passed a threshold with these
spirals on either side. From archeological evidence, we know the structure
was aligned with the moon and therefore this is a celestial map of the lunar path,
with sacred center.

The Emerald Tablet, also known as Smaragdine Table, Tabula Smaragdina, or The Secret of Hermes, is a text purporting to reveal the secret of the primordial substance and its transmutations. It claims to be the work of Hermes Trismegistus ("Hermes the Thrice-Greatest"), a legendary Egyptian sage or god, variously identified with the Egyptian god Thoth and/or the Greek god Hermes.
This short and cryptic text was highly regarded by European alchemists as the foundation of their art, in particular of its Hermetic tradition.
Arabic translation
A new translation bypassing the Latin has just been published by Nineveh Shadrach from the original Arabic of Book of Causes attributed to Apollonius of Tyana.[1]
- It contains an accurate commentary that can't be doubted.
- It states: What is the above is from the below and the below is from the above. The work of wonders is from one.
- And all things sprang from this essence through a single projection. How marvelous is its work! It is the principle [sic] part of the world and its custodian.
- Its father is the sun and its mother is the moon. Thus the wind bore it within it and the earth nourished it.
- Father of talismans and keeper of wonders.
- Perfect in power that reveals the lights.
- It is a fire that became our earth. Separate the earth from the fire and you shall adhere more to that which is subtle than that which is coarse, through care and wisdom.
- It ascends from the earth to the heaven. It extracts the lights from the heights and descends to the earth containing the power of the above and the below for it is with the light of the lights. Therefore the darkness flees from it.
- The greatest power overcomes everything that is subtle and it penetrates all that is coarse.
- The formation of the microcosm is in accordance with the formation of the macrocosm.
- The scholars made this their path.
- This is why Thrice Hermes was exalted with wisdom.
- This is his last book that he hid in the catacomb.
