A circular alchemical emblem is displayed. A Latin inscription, "HERMETIC PHILOSOPHY" original: "PHILOSOPHIA • HERMETICA", forms a border around an Ouroboros, a serpent consuming its own tail which symbolizes eternity and the cycle of nature. The central blue oval depicts a white pelican in its piety. It pecks its own breast to feed three chicks with its blood, a traditional symbol of Christ and self-sacrifice. The pelican stands on a silver crescent moon resting upon a white cube. The cube features four red roses around a central point, a motif often associated with Rosicrucianism. Above the scene, a golden sun radiates light downward.
