A circular emblem is printed on a white rectangular slip of paper. The emblem features an oval centerpiece with a blue background and golden rays emanating from the top. Inside the oval, a white bird, likely a pelican in her piety, stands over a nest or vessel. Below the bird is a square or cube containing a black diagonal cross with four red roses in the quadrants. The oval is framed by a green wreath. Surrounding the wreath is the circular inscription Hermetic Philosophy in light golden-colored capital letters.
