A central circular emblem is displayed on a white paper background. The emblem features a blue oval in the center, bordered by a green Ouroboros, which is a serpent eating its own tail. Inside the oval, a white pelican in her piety feeds her young from her own breast while perched atop a dark crescent moon. Above the pelican is a radiant golden sun. Below the moon is a square heraldic shield displaying a red saltire, an X-shaped cross, and three red roses. Encircling the Ouroboros is the text "Hermetic Philosophy" in pale gold capital letters.
