Who wouldn't want to know the entire meaning of reality? The Emerald Tablet (gods always write their sacred lists on stone) may be the oldest surviving alchemical text. It's whatever you want it to be, which makes it bad science and great poetry.
Wisdom is born from the womb of the wind and is nursed by the earth. Her father is the sun, her mother the moon.
She is the elixir/stone/talisman which "vanquishes every subtle thing & penetrates every solid thing," according to Issac Newton's translation.
