Summary
Occult sigil given by Geheime Figuren der Rosenkreuzer aus dem 16ten und 17ten Jahrhundert, reproduced in A Christian Rosenkreutz Anthology and referenced in Dictionary of Occult, Hermetic and Alchemical Sigils (GETTINGS 1981). Derived from the idea of union attained through the alchemical process of solve et coagulo, though the sigil does appear to be used for the union of opposites, as for example in the union of male and female, Sun and Moon, Mars and Venus, and so on, as well as for the union of Sulphur and Mercury , so clearly indicated within the form of the sigil.
