Apologetic Treatise Defending the Integrity of the Society of the Rose Cross

A central colored emblem representing Hermetic Philosophy. The emblem consists of an oval field bordered by a green Ouroboros, which is a snake devouring its own tail. The interior of the oval has a blue background. In the upper portion, a golden sun radiates light. In the center, a white pelican is depicted in her piety, a symbolic pose where she pecks her own breast to feed her young with her blood. Below the bird is a square shield featuring a cross design with four red roses placed in the quadrants. The words Hermetic Philosophy original: "PHILOSOPHIA • HERMETICA" are written in a circular arrangement around the central scene within the Ouroboros border.
