A medium sized printed square sticker for "PHILOSOPHIA HERMETICA" Hermetic Philosophy. The circular emblem shows a pelican in her piety, a motif of a mother bird feeding three chicks in a nest with blood from her own breast, a traditional symbol for sacrifice in both Christian and alchemical contexts. Below the nest is a shield with a quarterly coat of arms. The Latin text "PHILOSOPHIA HERMETICA" frames the image. A letter "M" is printed above the circle.
