Dr. Kate Corrigan: The text of The Secret Flame is Ini-Herit's partial transcription of the great Tabula Smaragdina -- The Emerald Tablet.
Supposedly engraved by the Greek god Hermes on a stone that fell from the head of Lucifer when he was cast out of Heaven.
A pretty strange mixture of pagan and Christian mythologies, if you ask me.
Adoet de Fabre: So you do know about it.
But of course, Lucifer is not the name of the fallen angel. That mistake originates from a misreading of Isaiah 14:12.
