The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus
The Emerald Tablet is a Hermetic alchemical text concerning the cycle of creation. This workshop will explore the origins and meaning of this short enigmatic text. To tease out its meaning we will read several versions of the Tablet and compare it to early Alexandrian alchemical texts as well as to Gnostic writings from the Nag Hammadi library.
Alexandrian Alchemy and the Ascent of the Soul.
Alexandrian alchemy is an active meditation on creation and the ascent of the soul. It sees substance and process as symbol. This workshop will examine actual alchemical processes and the materials used and, through reading selections from alchemical texts, gain insight into this intriguing worldview and its possible meanings for today.
