contribute you to my turn. When the neighbors heard that, they were extremely satisfied, because they knew that it would not leave them without reward " As soon as it was free, they were to prepare a bath to him, for him so that he shouted and tempêtait like one had, at the point to disappear. Then the musician made with this care seized his instrument to sing his usual song to him that the shepherds sing commonly with the Pan. god " As soon as it perceived this song, it returned to him; but, counters any waiting, in all haste, it put at the world an alive fruit, not without much sorrow and pain, to tell the truth; this fruit did not resemble to him in any manner, as one could secure of it when it had reached the ripe age, " This fruit was to be something of marvellous, because it came from a strange birth, such as one cannot find similar. It comprised two natures, this is why it had to be nourished milk of a goat which gave milk and blood " And there still there were difficulties in overcome, because the goat wanted to let itself milk only by only one accoucheuse which bore the name of a witch; she was called Urganda. This one was useful of strange glass made up of marvellous parts by the most skilful artist; **time-out** it appear rather natural qu artificial, and it to me seem that it be a piece of Table of Hermès and sign some same signature so that the vapor subtle of milk can himself ventilate " And Urganda make boil the milk so much so that it appear incandescent by the heat, and of nourish the marvellous new-born baby which, because of its feeding regular with this milk, grow of day in day, of week in week, of month in month, year by year, and increase in size, in force and in virtue, with such point that it exceed some much the virtue of its father and have a large Royal children in the same way were generated. " As for Urganda, the old witch, it could, in spite of her great age, to change daily, so much so that its same hair, when they were not braided and that light cold airstream touched them, extended, such gold the most beautiful and long wire, or the rays of the sun; thus they flew and ondoyaient. " Here are, ô very illuminated servants of God, which I wanted to bring to your attention, concerning my second concern, while requesting from you and begging still humbly not to refuse me, but to admit me and to accomodate me grace. With the assistance of the Lord, I will be humble, subjected and obeying in all of which you will charge me, as I will be able to support it and achieve it in my human weakness. I recommend to you ardently and humbly, ô very illuminated servants of God, like myself with the divine absolute powers and protection " Makes with N on 14 June 1619. " Lord, assists me and accomodates me by your grace, for the love of Jesus-Christ. Amen, amen, amen " (Translated from German by Debeo) *** Here now, like transition from the laboratory to the oratory, a series of aphorisms a little less antiquated, than the reader will be able to perhaps use in a more immediate way. One will notice the double functioning, physics and psychic, of each one of these axioms. Their numbering is not either unimportant. AXIOMS HERMÉTIQUES(5). 1. - All that one can achieve by a simple method should not be tested by a complicated method. There is only one Truth whose existence does not need proof, because it is itself its own proof for those which are capable to perceive it. Why be useful itself of complexity to seek what is simple? The wise ones say: " Ignis and Azoth tibi sufficiunt ". The body is already in your possession. All that you need, it is fire and the air. 2. - Null substance cannot be made perfect without a long suffering. Large is the error of those which think that the stone of the philosophers can be hardened without to have been beforehand dissolved; their time and their work are lost. 3. - Nature must be helped by art all the times that it lacks force. Art can serve nature, but not to supplant it. Art without nature is always anti-natural. Nature without art nest not always perfect. 4. - Nature can be improved only in itself. The nature of a tree cannot be changed by the arrangement of the branches, nor by the addition of ornaments; it can be improved only by improving the ground on which it grows, or by the Clerc's Office. 5. - Nature uses of nature, includes/understands it and overcomes it. There is not other knowledge only the knowledge of oneself. Any being can carry out really only its own existence, but not that of an element which is completely foreign for him. 6. - That which does not know the movement does not know nature. Nature is the product of the movement. At the time when the movement eternal would cease, whole nature would cease existing. That which does not know the movements which occur in its body is a foreigner in his own house. 7. - All that
produces a similar effect with that produced by a made up element is also a compound. One is larger than all the other numbers, because it produced the infinite variety of the mathematical sizes; but no change is not possible without the presence of the One which penetrates all things, and whose faculties are present in its demonstrations. 8. - Nothing can pass from an extreme to the other except using a means. An animal cannot be able at celestial before to have passed through the man. (6) What is antinaturel must become natural before its nature can become spiritual. 9. - Metals cannot change into other metals before to be reduced to the PRIMA materia. The clean will, opposed to the divine will, must cease being so that the divine will can invade the heart. We must strip ourselves of any sophistication, to become similar to children, so that the word of wisdom can resound in our spirit. 10 - What is not ripe must be helped by what became ripe. Thus will start fermentation. The law of induction governs all the areas of nature. 11 - In the calcination, the body is not reduced, but it increases quantity. True asceticism consists in giving up that which one does not need, when one received something of better. 12 - In alchemy, nothing bears fruit without to be mortified beforehand. The light cannot shine through the matter, if the matter did not become enough subtle to let pass the rays. 13 - What kills produces the life; what causes death brings resurrection; what destroys creates. Nothing comes out of nothing. The creation of a new form with for condition the transformation of old. 14 - All that contains a seed can be increased, but not without the assistance of nature. It is only by means of seed that the fruit carrying of more seeds comes to the life. 15. Any thing multiplies and is increased by means of a male principle and by a female principle. The matter does not produce anything if it is not penetrated by the force. Nature does not create anything if it is not impregnated by the spirit. The thought remains unproductive if it is not made active by the will. 16 - The faculty of any germ is to link itself with all that forms part of its kingdom. Any being in nature is attracted by its own nature represented in other beings. The colors and the sounds of similar nature form harmonious agreements; the substances which have reports/ratios the ones with the others can combine; the animals of the same species join between them, and the spiritual powers are linked with the germs with which they have affinity. 17 - A pure matrix gives rise to a pure fruit. It is only in the most intimate sanctuary of the heart that will be révèlera the mystery of the spirit. 18 - Fire and heat can be produced only by the movement. The stagnation, it is death. The stone thrown in water forms progressive eccentric circles, which are produced by the movement. The heart which is not moved cannot rise and is petrified. 19 - All the method starts and finishes by only one method: cooking. Here the great mystery: it is a celestial spirit going down from the sun, the moon and the stars, and which is made perfect in the Saturnin object by a continual cooking, until it reached the state of sublimation and the power necessary to transform the base metals into gold. This operation is achieved by hermetic fire. The separation of subtle of with the thick one must be done carefully, by adding water continuously; because the more terrestrial the materials are, the more they must be diluted and made mobile. Continue this method until the separate heart is joined together with the body. (7) 20 - Whole work is achieved by employing only water. It is same water that that on which was driven the Spirit of God in the principle, when darkness was on the face of the abyss. 21 - Any thing must turn over to what produced it. What is terrestrial comes from the ground; what belongs to the stars comes from the stars; what is spiritual proceeds of the Spirit and turns over to God. 22 - Where truths principles miss, the results are imperfect. The imitations could not give pure results. Purely imaginary love, wisdom as the force purely imaginary can have effect only in the kingdom of the illusions. 23 - The art starts where nature ceases acting. Art achieves by means of nature what nature is unable to achieve without the assistance of art. 24 - The hermetic art is not reached by a large variety of methods. The Pierre is one. II has there only one eternal, immutable truth. It can appear under many various aspects: but, in this case, it is not the truth which changes, it is we who change our mode of design. 25. - The substance which is used to prepare Arcanum must be pure, indestructible and fireproof. It must be pure coarse material elements, unattackable with the doubt and of passed. 26. - Do not seek the germ of the stone of the philosophers in the elements. It is only in the
