Voir la traduction automatique
On one side of a tree an old man is standing next to Apollo who is sitting on a lion; on the other side a young man is standing next to Artemis/Diana; ranged round the tree are birds, unicorns, representations of life, death, and resurrection. From the Alchemical tradition, the Tree of Life is a symbol of the Opus Magnum, the goal of the alchemical journey, which is to find the philosopher's stone (the elixir of life). A branch from the Tree of Life was said to protect the Alchemist on his or her journey through the alchemical stages of separation, decay and purification in fires of the underworld.
