Dialogues of Love

A circular emblem is printed on a white rectangular piece of paper and pasted into the center of the page. The words "Hermetic Philosophy" form a border around a central oval scene. In this scene, a white pelican is shown in a pose known as "the pelican in its piety." The bird feeds three chicks with blood from its own breast. It perches on a cube marked with a cross and four roses. Rays of golden light shine down from the top of the oval.
