16 Per Verbum (through the Verb, the divine word) – sound is the genesis foundation. It seems to pass through the filter of a book, the latter in Alchemy generally represents the raw material that must be expertly opened. Thus, the object in the emblem would fit to be a symbol of the Philosophers Stone. In this case, I mean the stone as a “cosmic resonator”. The heart could represent the alchemist’s inner sun or microcosmic center. Also see Canseliet, the Art of Music & Weight; Atorène, Music Theory Course for Alchemists. Part 1 ; Hieronymus Bosch and the Concert in the Egg .
17 Mutantur in Horas (changing during the hours) – The chameleon was said to live on air, like the cicada, which made it yearn. Additionally, it was recognized as having the ability to change skin and colors: a symbol of skin. It may be that the emblem refers to the fact that the texture of the air is constantly changing. It is unclear whether an oblong stone or a mattress is under him. The first is a symbol of resonance, and the second is human failure.
18 Rapere Capere (quickly grab and get hold) – wheat reborn from itself, the seed dies to give birth to a new plant, and the great initiator gods: Thoth, Isis, Osiris, Horus, Anubis.
19 Fallimur (we go unrecognized). An archer masquerading as a deer. The big hunt. Souls are distributed. Hunter deities had an affinity for the Chthonic world and were said to send souls to bodies. The arrow is precisely to indicate this ability of “an embodiment”.
20 Perii quia Volui (I died, vanished because I wanted) – butterfly symbolizes the soul, the voluntary death, death as initiation. However, a pierced heart is a symbol of metamorphosis.
21 Vigilate (accurately, diligently) – Coral symbolizes the fixation of the volatile in the Alchemy lab and embodiment in Theurgy. The rooster represents the time of dawn.
22 Pro Forma (for the sake of form – conforms to a norm or doctrine) – masks were an integral part of Dionysus’s iconography ( the double/Mumia), souls join and merge with what is closer to their in nature, fire, and smoke, the altar symbolizes resurrection.
23 Te Sequar (I will follow you), like a sunflower that moves according to the sun. The microcosm will now be able to follow its macrocosm.
24 Laus in Charitate (Glory dwells in love, I burn with love) – the soul is a flame and rises like a flame, so now we can communicate and be at one, fumigation of purification. That’s to say, the soul and human intellect are in unison.
25 Quid Lux sub Modio (the light not exceeding one modius, i.e., a corn-measure) – Seth’s light, the fecundating light, is Horus’s shadow and occurs in a calibrated way.
