Harmony or Consensus of the Chemical Philosophers

A

An illustration shows a circular alchemical emblem with a blue central oval. At the top of the oval, a golden sun radiates light downwards onto a white pelican in its piety, which is a bird feeding its young from its own breast. Below the pelican, a white square contains four red roses arranged in a cross pattern. The entire oval is encircled by a border containing the words: Hermetic Philosophy.

original: PHILOSOPHIA · HERMETICA

Hermetic Philosophy: The esoteric system based on the writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. It focuses on the connection between the microcosm of man and the macrocosm of the universe.

Pelican in its piety: A traditional alchemical and Christian symbol. The bird feeds its chicks with its own blood. In alchemy, it represents the stage of the work where the substance is nourished and revived.
