"The Emerald Tablet (Tabula Smaragdina) is arguably one of the most legendary and mysterious artifacts in Western esoteric lore. Allegedly inscribed by Hermes Trismegistus himself (a hybrid of the Greek Hermes and Egyptian Thoth), the tablet is said to contain the condensed truth of the cosmos. It is the sacred scroll of alchemists, magicians, philosophers, and confused Renaissance nobles.
But here lies the rub: while many mystical texts speak of the Tablet's content, they are suspiciously silent on its construction. Specifically: was it really made out of emerald? And if so, how? In this article, we revisit the Emerald Tablet with both scholarly skepticism and playful reverence, and propose a likely origin that is at once mundane and magical."
