The emblem of Quintessence is regarded the synthesis of alchemy and is also known as the Hermetic Seal, according to ancient Pythagorean philosophy. It contains the triangle, circle, and square, which represent the spirit, soul, and body, respectively, all of which are necessary for alchemical transformation. While transmuting physical body matter into purer forms of energy, Hermetic alchemy exploits the subtle fires of the human body, including sexuality and love, as powerful tools for spiritual development.
