Visita Interior Terrae Rectificando Invenies Ocultum Lapidem
trans.”Visit the Interior of the Earth and there by Recification Find the Hidden Stone”
Note: The first letters of the latin phrase make up the word VITRIOL.
The seven classical planets correspond to the letters of VITRIOL, and are also represented by their symbols, with the Sun and Moon coming out of the chalice supported by Mercury. Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars are all represented in circles. The chalice represents the yoni and womb, and also symbolises the union of opposites or sacred marriage of masculine and feminine / positive and negative as implied by the Sun and Moon. The chalice also indicates the Holy Grail, made in legend from the Emerald which fell from Lucifer's eye when he fell, so the nature of emerald as the stone of truth reifying the tablet is further emphasised by this. (Avalonia)
