This is for your discernment only. Poke is an actor and media personality. He does not have answers to problems. This is simply on display through video- his form of the ‘art’ . He states things he clearly contradicts in his own life but this is something you won’t see on TV so go away with possibly a new way of looking at the world and how we live our daily lives.
The manuscript used to create, interpret and use the seals or pentacles of King Solomon of Israel is a handbook of magic known as the Key of Solomon or the Clavicula Salomonis. The Key of Solomon associates each seal or pentacle with angels, demons or aerial spirits that govern the actions of specific planets. The knowledge of binding planetary spirits in seals is part of the renowned wisdom imparted to King Solomon by the God of Israel. Ownership of authentic seals shares this latent power with believers.

TODAY’S DISCUSSION | THE EMERALD TABLETS OF THOTH – ROBERT SEPEHR |
Hermeticism is a philosophical tradition that gets its name from Hermes Trismegistus, a word which means thrice-greatest Hermes. Hermes in ancient Greek mythology was the emissary or messenger of the Gods, able to move freely between the worlds of the mortal and the divine, associated with the planet Mercury, as well as the caduceus, which is the famous symbol of a winged staff intertwined with two snakes.
He was the God of Wisdom, as well as the equivalent in ancient Egyptian mythology as the god Thoth, scribe to the Gods, accredited with inventing writing, the god of science, magic, art, among other things.
The most famous literature in the field of Hermeticism, and attributed to Hermes, is known as the Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean. Whether or not the information stretches all the way back to the time of Atlantis, is disputed, and is mostly commonly attributed to European Renaissance alchemy starting towards the end of the middle ages. Ann argument can be made that alchemy can be traced at least to ancient Egypt, which used to be be called Kemet, from where we get the word alchemy.
This Book may justly challenge the first place for antiquity, from all the Books in the World, being written some hundreds of years before Moses his time, as I shall endeavour to make good. The Original (as far as is known to us) is Arabic, and several Translations thereof have been published, as Greek, Latin, French, Dutch, etc., but never English before. It is pity the Learned Translator [Dr. Everard] had not lived, and received himself, the honour, and thanks due to him from the Englishmen for his good will to, and pains for them, in translating a Book of such infinite worth, out of the Original, into their Mother-tongue.
Concerning the Author of the Book itself, Four things are considerable, viz., His Name, Learning, Country, and Time.
1. The name by which he was commonly styled, is Hermes Trismegistus, i.e., Mercurius ter Maximus, or, The thrice greatest Intelligencer. And well might he be called Hermes, for he was the first Intelligencer in the World (as we read of) that communicated Knowledge to the sons of Men, by Writing, or Engraving. He was called Ter Maximus, for some Reasons, which I shall afterwards mention.
2. His Learning will appear, as by his Works; so by the right understanding the Reason of his Name.
3. For his Country, he was King of Egypt.
4. For his Time, it is not without much Controversy, betwixt those that write of this Divine, ancient Author, what time he lived in. Some say he lived after Moses his time, giving this slender Reason for it, viz., Because he was named Ter Maximus: for being preferred [Franciscus Flussas] (according to the Egyptian Customs) being chief Philosopher, to be chief of the Priesthood: and from thence, to be chief in Government, or King. But if this be all their ground, you must excuse my dissent from then, and that for this reason, Because according to the most learned of his followers [Geber, Paracelsus: Henricus Nollius in Theoria Philosophia Hermeticae, tractatu priimo.], he was called Ter Maximus; for having perfect, and exact Knowledge of all things contained in the World; which things he divided into Three Kingdoms (as he calls them), viz., Mineral, Vegetable, Animal; which Three, he did excel in the right understanding of; also, because he attained to, and transmitted to Posterity (although in an Ænigmatical, and obscure style) the Knowledge of the Quintessence of the whole Universe (which Universe, as I said before, he divided into Three Parts) otherwise called, The great Elixir of the Philosophers; which is the Receptacle of all Celestial and Terrestrial Virtues; which Secret, many ignorantly deny, many have chargeably sought after, yet few, but some, yea, and the Englishmen have happily found [Ripley, Bacon, Norton, etc.]. The Description of this great Treasure, is said to be found engraved upon a Smaragdine Table, in the Valley of Ebron, after the Flood. So that the Reason before alleged to prove this Author to live after Moses, seem invalid: neither doth it any way appear, that he lived in Moses his time, although it be the opinion of some, as of John Functius, who saith in his Chronology, That he lived Twenty-one years before the Law was given by Moses in the Wilderness; But the Reasons that he, and others give, are far weaker than those that I shall give, for his living before Moses his time. My reasons for that are these:
First, Because it is received amongst the Ancients, that he was the first that invented the Art of communicating Knowledge to the World, by Writing or Engraving. Now if so, then in all probability he was before Moses; for it is said of Moses that he was from his childhood [Acts vii.22] skilled in all the Egyptian Learning, which could not well have been without the help of Literature, which we never read of any before that invented by Hermes [Chapter x.].
Secondly, he is said by himself, to be the son of Saturn and by others to be the Scribe of Saturn. Now Saturn according to Historians, lived in the time of Sarug, Abraham’s great Grand-Father [Sanchoniathon]. I shall but take in Suidas his judgment, and so rest satisfied, that he did not live only before, but long before Moses; His words are these, Credo Mercurium Trismegistum sapientem Egyptium floruisse ante Pharaonem [Suidas].
Situation: when your hands are tied and you don’t even know it.
Imagine that everything in your life looks beautiful, smooth and good, but when you try to materialize certain plans, or realize a dream or a project that lies to your heart, you cannot move anywhere.
Many of the limitations and barriers that bind us are invisible, and we are unaware of them. Blockages in life can be the result of external influences, as well as those that arise from within, because of restrictive thinking. A significant part of the life patterns we have adapted to ourselves includes a whole set of circumstances that we accept as absolute facts, necessities and “musts” that cannot be changed. This is where most of the “transparent” bondages are hidden.
What are the common factors that restrict us?
Here are some examples:
– A close person who binds us with behaviors that press our guilt button: love and caring do exist, but our sense of commitment to him does not allow us to spread our wings- Over dependence on the advice, direction and opinions of other people;
– Addictions and negative habits that dictate our agenda;
– Obstacles stemming from fear (especially fear of leaving our comfort zone), or fear of failure;
– The need to invest all our energies in dealing with the problems of others, which does not allow us to do what we really aspire for;
– Situations that weaken us and draw all our energies, until we have no mental/emotional resources to think about things that are beyond basic survival;
– Negative desires and impulses that we have, which repeatedly shove us down to the same pit holes;
– Words of criticism that we have hears in our childhood about our skills to succeed in life, the lack of confidence that teachers / parents / educators had in our abilities, false ideas that we have assimilated into our consciousness and have become a weakening belief system that we have about ourselves;
– Economic constraints that require us to stay stuck in a job we do not like, or in relationships that are not good for us any more;
– Even a spell that was upon us, God forbid, that binds us to a certain person and does not allow us to leave and take the direction we want;
– And the list goes on …
Some of the restraints are self-evident and clear as the sun, but many of the limitations and barriers are transparent, so it is difficult for us to identify and overcome them. However, the result is that we cannot make a significant leap in life just because our hands are tied.
Here is one of the King Solomon seals – its name – The seventh pentacle of the sun.
Note the verse from chapter 116 in Psalms that is engraved on it:
“You have freed me from my chains. I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.”
And this is exactly what the signer is doing – opening the barriers and ties that limit us.
If you suspect that you are stuck in place because of a blockage or other type of bondage, you can make a personal talisman with this seal and keep it at home, or keep it in your purse or wallet. After a few days or weeks, you should feel relieved, and the path will open up to you.
Here is how to prepare your own personalized amulet with this seal:
* Download the image and print it
* On the back side of the image write your name and mother’s name to dedicate the amulet to yourself.
* To activate the power of the amulet, hold it between your two hands and summon its powers to help you. Let its energies penetrate your energy field.
* Keep it at home in a safe place at home, or carry the amulet with you (in your wallet) wherever you go.Good Luck!
