“Make of man and woman a circle; thence a square; thence a triangle; form a circle, and you will have the Stone Of The Wise,” … from the Atalanta Fugiens (1617)
The Hermetic Seal, also called The Philosopher’s Stone, The Quintessence or The Squaring Of The Circle, is an alchemical symbol based in Pythagorean philosophy. It unites in one symbol the body, soul and spirit - the three aspects required for alchemical transformation.
The small inner circle represents the human soul in perfect equilibrium (“man and “woman” are the dual aspects of every human soul. The circle represents these two opposite poles in perfect balance). The square is the physical body, in which the soul “resides”. The larger circle represents the infinite Spirit. The triangle unites them all.
This is but only one level of interpretation of this mysterious symbol.
This sterling silver pendant measures 22 mm in diametre. Chain sold separately.
