Masonic & Occult Symbols Illustrate

“The perfect equilibrium of spirit and matter is symbolized by the six-pointed star, which is again only another form of the Square and Compass, each now having a base-line from which to form a triangle. Inclose (sic) the star in a circle, which symbolizes Infinity, and you symbolize the harmony, or at-one-ment of the Spirit that descended, and the body, now purified, with Divinity, or the Over Soul. Place within the Star thus inclosed (sic) the Egyptian emblem of Life [the ankh], and we symbolize Immortality, as the result of regeneration. Transform the circle into a serpent and it now symbolizes Wisdom, as the crown or result of equilibrium; and is also a double glyph of the return of matter to its source in spirit. Separate the tongue and tail of the serpent by a Thor’s Hammer, or Svastica [swastika], inclosed (sic) within a circle, and it symbolizes regeneration through conquest of animal sense, precisely as taught in the Lodge, under the spiritual meaning of the symbol of the Compass.”

Notice the center of the large picture above. It’s the same as the small picture. Below is another logo for the Theosophical Society.
