“In a tomb of Hermes in a cave near Ebron, it is said that Alexander the Great found an emerald tablet on which were inscribed, on green stone, thirteen sentences in Phoenician characters. Known in legend as the Smaragdine, or Emerald, Tablet, it included an observation for which it would be best remembered:
What is below is like that which is above, and what is above is like that which is below, to accomplish the miracles of One Thing. And as all things were produced by the mediation of One Being, so all things were produced from this One Thing by adaption.”
–Excerpt from the introduction to The Fire in the Fennel Stalk: Herbal Tales of Mind and Consciousness ©, a work in progress by Wyn and Barbara Wade
As Above, So Below
Based on the medieval Doctrine of Signatures and utilizing the lore and properties of twenty-two plants, The Fire in the Fennel Stalk has been called “a nature trip through the journey of the soul.” Drawing on concepts alluded to in the mystical writings of the Kabbalists and further explored by Freud and Jung, the work traces the path of the spirit from Ego-self to God-consciousness (enlightenment).
