Dear 'mj' and 'ihya1347', >> I'll bet you sooner or later, some one will let you now Rawn Clark has been thiniking about the Emerald Tablet in regards to Hermetics. << ;-) I was just getting around to suggesting that article to 'ihya1347' when I saw your message. You can also find it in .HTML webpage format by going to http://www.ABardonCompanion.com/EmeraldTablet.html >> Well, feel free to tear apart my logic, shouldnt be too hard. << I thought you did pretty good! :) One difficulty posed by the ET is finding an early enough and reliable version to work from. There have been umpteen thousand *interpretive* translations of the oldest remaining Latin version and, at times, it's hard to recognize the original! On Adam McLean's Alchemy website ( http://www.levity.com/alchemy/ ) you'll find quite a library of translations along with several articles about the ET (including my own "Commentary Upon"). My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 03 Sept 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
