SYMBOLS - OCCULT ART - ROSICRUCIANS - SPIRALS. One of a series of influential occult engravings by William Law, in explication of the principles in the arcane thought of the Rosicrucian, Jacob Boehme, from The Works of Jacob Behmen, The Teutonic Theosopher, Vol 1, 1764. Plate 11. Within a circular band, which once again contains 11 of the 12 signs of the zodiac (the mystic Cancer is hidden behind the Crown), a spiral, bearing six planets, curves into the centre, to merge with the Sun. A curious white pathway, something in the form of a lemniscate, unites a crowned Star of David (or Seal of Solomon, which, thus crowned, is symbol of the unification of Christ and Adam, hinted at in the previous plate). Within the lower triangle of the incomplete lower Seal, the letters C and A merge. Christ and Adam are now in unity, the structure of the A of Adam now being integrated into the new pattern of the two triangles. This latter group of symbols proclaims the union of Christ with the Earth, by which a direct link, or pathway, is offered to the Godhead. The quotations are from William Law's An Illustration of the Deep Principles of Jacob Behmen, the Teutonic Theosopher.
