AXIOM

THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE
Also known as the The Hermetic Seal of Light, and often referred to as the synthesis of alchemy dating back to an ancient Pythagorean philosophy, where the square, the circle, and the triangle are symbolic of the physical body, the soul, and the spirit; and the three elements believed to be necessary for alchemical transformation.

The Philosopher's stone refers to the sacred quest of the alchemists: To take the chaotic elements of this world and from them forge a material of perfect balance. The philosophers’ stone is a legendary substance in alchemy that can turn base metals into silver or gold and the ultimate goal of every alchemist. It was also closely associated by alchemists with the elixir of life, a liquid that was believed to rejuvenate its user, bring them youth and even grant them immortality. Alchemists believed that this elixir could be made of the philosopher’s stone.

The Philosopher's stone represented the key to enlightenment, immortality, and transcendence. Many symbols are found within the geometry of this amulet: The triangle representing the holy trinity, the square representing the material elements, and the circle representing the cosmos.
