AA circular emblem is pasted onto a larger page. The emblem features a pelican in its piety, which is a mother pelican feeding her young with her own blood. This is a common alchemical and Christian symbol of sacrifice and renewal. The bird is perched on a white square base decorated with a red cross saltire and four red roses. These roses and the cross are early symbols associated with the Rosicrucian movement. Above the pelican, a radiant sun with rays shines down. The entire scene is enclosed within a blue circle and a green border. It is surrounded by the text Hermetic Philosophy in gold letters.
original: "PHILOSOPHIA HERMETICA". This refers to the tradition of knowledge attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, encompassing alchemy, astrology, and spiritual transformation.
