“The Hermetic Triumph” is a sculpture that was produced after a month of alchemy research and practice. The “tablet” itself is a reference to the Emerald Tablet, said to be the foundation of alchemy and the roots of the Hermetic tradition. The front panel shows three magical languages: The Alphabet of the Magi and Theban, being medieval alchemy languages, as well as Elder Futhark which deals with esoteric magic, gods, and the elements. In the center are the symbols for the three prime elements of alchemy: salt, sulfur, and mercury. On the back panel are the four Aristotelian element symbols. Finally, at the top, it culminates into alchemical gold.

    I was on board until the futhark. The Elder futhark has nothing to do with Hermes, it is an entirely seperate tradition...
