ll of us? pagans and christians find a common ground in that osiris and christ are interchanged as symbolical archetypes of self sacrifice unto the higher. the next main point to highlight is the meaning, in mystical terms, of the one hundred and twenty years. the chief adept, second adept and the third adept then form the three sided triangle above and below with their ankhs. this alludes to the emerald tablet which states "as above, so below" in addition, there is a qabalistic significance in that it alludes to the three phases of the soul. the linking or uniting of the neschamah, the ruach and the nephesch can only be accomplished in an atmosphere of zero space. this happens as the third order enters the vault to recharge it. this power is brought down from the triangle formed above by

FRANCIS A YATES GIORDANO BRUNO AND THE HERMETIC TRADITION

is a very clear example of how the will to operate, stimulated by renaissance magic, could pass into, and stimulate, the will to operate in genuine applied science. or of how operating with number in the higher sphere of religious magic could belong with, and stimulate, operating with number in the lower sphere of "real artificial magic. the hermetic science par excellence is alchemy; the famous emerald table, the bible of the alchemists, is attributed to hermes trismegistus and gives in a mysteriously compact form the philosophy of the all and the one.2 in the renaissance, a new style "alchymia" becomes associated with the new magia and cabala. dee is an example of this, alchemy being one of his main interests. but the chief exponent of the new alchemy is paracelsus. the researches of w

f conscious elevation; it is the specific ascension of the self and an opening forth of higher articulation of self. magick is the arte of the sun, which is fertile and beautiful, the very foundation built in gold brilliance. magick is the evolution of the spirit and the self, the very path of mediation between us and our gods. it is ultimately however the separation from us from all gods and the emerald crown of which we adopt we become as gods and goddesses individual and beautiful in many ways. black magick as revealed in current standards is the art of self-deification through antinomianian processes, that by the self separating from the natural order do we move in-between the world of waking and dreaming. in the art of primal sorcery this is defined as encircling/ensorcelling the self

es lusts. while this may continue to be an aspect of lesser or low black magic, the magic of theurgy (high sorcery) has not been a connection in detail explored until now. theurgy is high magick, or high sorcery. it is the development of the self in light and aimed at bettering ones being on numerous levels. light may refer to the perception of being, as lucifer who is the lord of the sun and the emerald crowned initiator of magick. theurgy would be the path of invoking the genius or guardian angel of the self. this operation has been dealt with in length in the works of abramelin, aleister crowley s liber samekh and equally brilliant writings by jake stratton-kent and charles gonzales. the preliminary invocation as it was published in crowley s 1904 edition, was developed from the london

neophyte stepped back in awe, partly blinded by the glory of the revealed figure. gaining courage, the youth gazed again at the divine one. the form before him was considerably larger than that of a mortal man. the body seemed partly transparent so that the heart and brain could be seen pulsating and radiant. as the candidate watched, the heart changed into an ibis, and the brain into a flashing emerald. in its hand this mysterious being bore a winged rod, entwined with serpents. the aged initiator, raising his wand, cried out in a loud voice "all hail thee, thoth hermes, thrice greatest; all hail thee, prince of men; all hail thee who standeth upon the head of typhon" at the same instant a lurid writhing dragon appeared--a hideous monster, part serpent, part crocodile, and part hog. from

its underlying principles run back to remotest antiquity. it is generally admitted by modem masonic scholars that the story of the martyred chiram is based upon the egyptian rites of osiris, whose death and resurrection figuratively portrayed the spiritual death of man and his regeneration through initiation into the mysteries. chiram is also identified with hermes through the inscription on the emerald table. from these associations it is evident that chiram is to be considered as a prototype of humanity; in fact he is plato's idea (archetype) of man. as adam after the fall symbolizes the idea of human degeneration, so chiram through his resurrection symbolizes the idea of human regeneration. on the 19th day of march, 1314, jacques de molay, the last grand master of the knights templars

ppocrates with being the father of medicine, the ancient therapeut ascribed to the immortal hermes the distinction of being the founder of the art of healing. clemens alexandrinus, in describing the books purported to be from the stylus of hermes, divided the sacred writings into six general classifications, one of which, the pastophorus, was devoted to the science of medicine. the smaragdine, or emerald tablet found in the valley of ebron and generally accredited to hermes, is in reality a chemical formula of a high and secret order. hippocrates, the famous greek physician, during the fifth century before christ, dissociated the healing art from the other sciences of the temple and thereby established a precedent for separateness. one of the consequences is the present widespread crass sc

f"_prima materia" determines the forms of the modifiable substance; and the alchemists said that by means of it they could attain the transmutation of metals and the universal medicine. there are two hermetic operations, one spiritual, the other material, dependent the one on the other. the whole hermetic science is contained in the dogma of hermes, engraven originally, it is said, on a tablet of emerald. its sentences that relate to operating the great work are as follows "thou shalt separate the earth from the fire, the subtile from the gross, gently, with much industry "it ascends from earth to heaven, and again descends to earth, and receives the force of things above and below "thou shalt by this means possess the glory of the whole world, and therefore all obscurity shall flee away f

agrippa never proceeded beyond the first part of the great work, and he perished in the attempt, struggling to possess himself and to fix his independence. now, there are two hermetic operations, the one spiritual, the other material, and these are mutually dependent. for the rest, all hermetic science is contained in the doctrine of hermes, which is said to have been originally inscribed upon an emerald tablet. its first articles have been already expounded, and those follow which are concerned with the operation of the great work: thou shalt separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, gently, with great industry. it rises from earth to heaven, and again it descends from heaven to earth, and it receives the power of things above and of things below. by this means shalt th

r her bulls, which were refusals of time, of history, of age, which sang the city's undimmed magnificence and defied the garbage and decrepitude of the streets, which insisted on greatness, on leadership, on immortality, on the status of jahilians as custodians of the divine. for these writings the people forgave her her promiscuity, they turned a blind eye to the stories of hind being weighed in emeralds on her birthday, they ignored rumours of orgies, they laughed when told of the size of her wardrobe, of the five hundred and eighty-one nightgowns made of gold leaf and the four hundred and twenty pairs of ruby slippers. the citizens of jahilia dragged themselves through their increasingly dangerous streets, in which murder for small change was becoming commonplace, in which old women wer
