The Emerald Tablet
The oldest and most revered of all the alchemical formulae is the sacred Emerald Tablet of Hermes, thrice great. The first lines of the ancient tome are reflected in Trump XVII The Star.
IT IS TRUE, NO LIE, CERTAIN, AND TO BE DEPENDED UPON, THE SUPERIOR AGREES WITH THE INFERIOR, AND THE INFERIOR WITH THE SUPERIOR, TO EFFECT THAT ONE TRULY WONDERFUL WORK. AS ALL THINGS OWE THEIR EXISTENCE TO THE WILL OF THE ONLY ONE, SO ALL THINGS OWE THEIR ORIGIN TO THE ONE ONLY THING, THE MOST HIDDEN, FATHER OF THAT ONE ONLY THING IS THE SUN, ITS MOTHER IS THE MOON, THE WIND CARRIES IT IN ITS BELLY: BUT ITS NURSE IS A SPIRITUOUS EARTH. THAT ONE ONLY THING (After God) IS THE FATHER OF ALL THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE. ITS POWER IS PERFECT, AFTER IT HAS BEEN UNITED TO A SPIRITUOUS EARTH...
-Hermes Trismigestus, THE EMERALD TABLET
Champions, Fighters, and Gladiators
The power of the number 12
We think of the number 12 when we divide the Sun cycle into the 12 months of the year, and consider the 12 Labors of Hercules. In the ancient Sepher Yetzirah or the Hebrew Book of Formation, the zodiac is represented by the 12 simple letters of the Hebrew alphabet. And we find our same ideas as to the symbolism of number 12 there corroborated, namely, that the 12 signs are the houses of reflection of the various powers of the Sun which give to it its various aspects of manifestation. Also "the 12 simple letters are ... The foundations of the 12 properties: Sight, Hearing, Smell, Speech, Taste, Sexual Love, Work, Movement, Anger, Mirth, Imagination and Sleep. These 12 Simple Letters he designed and combined and formed with them the 12 celestial constellations of the Zodiac whose signs are Teth, Shin, Tau, Samech, Aleph, Beth, Mem, Oin, Qoph, Gimel, Daleth, and Daleth."

LES TRES RICHES HEURES DU DUC DE BERRY
WHAT IS THE TRES RICHES HEURES?
The Tres Riches Heures is the classic example of a medieval book of hours. This was a collection of the text for each liturgical hour of the day - hence the name - which often included other, supplementary, texts. Calendars, prayers, psalms and masses for certain holy days were commonly included. The meaning of each Limbourg brothers illustration is below.
The pictures in this directory April [above] and December are from the calendar section of the Tres Riches Heures. This was painted some time between 1412 and 1416 and is arguably the most beautiful part of the manuscript; it is certainly the best known, being one of the great art treasures of France. In terms of historical and cultural importance, it is certainly equal to more famous works such as the Mona Lisa, marking the pinnacle of the art of manuscript illumination.
