In alchemy, the cross pattée represents the eight stages of the Magnum Opus, or Great Work in the quest for enlightenment, and in esotericism and occult circles the cross is imbued with secret meanings, being embraced in their ritual practices and ceremonies. The inscribed Latin mantra ”Quod est superius est sicut quod inferius, et quod inferius est sicut quod est superius,\" paraphrases to: \"As above, so below”. In esoteric traditions, it is regarded as a portal to hidden knowledge and a key to the divine, and symbolizes the 8 stages of spiritual evolution. For Christians, the cross pattée is regarded as accenting the eight beatitudes, each point representing a virtue such as peace, mercy and purity. Meaning and Origin Origin: The earliest known versions of the Emerald Tablet appeared in Arabic sources in the late eighth or early ninth century, with medieval Latin translations emerging later. The phrase is attributed to the legendary figure Hermes Trismegistus. Meaning: The central idea is the Principle of Correspondence, which posits a fundamental link and reflection between all levels of reality—the spiritual and the physical, the macrocosm (universe) and the microcosm (humanity or atom). It suggests that the same laws and phenomena are in operation on all planes of existence. In Practice: This principle became a cornerstone of Western occult philosophy and alchemy, offering a key to understanding the mysteries of the universe. It is often interpreted to mean that by observing and understanding the physical world (below), one can gain insight into the spiritual or higher realms (above), and vice versa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Presented in a branded Lychgate green velvet pouch with an attached descriptive kraft hang tag.
