Alchemy & Hermeticism
Fertility of the earth
A radiant sun shines above a crowned lion, a child and a robed figure carrying a flowering branch, beside a fire-headed companion. Redgrove reproduces the design as Plate 3A and captions it as the fertility of the earth. The emblem shares a source page with the gold-and-mercury allegory, but remains a separate composition with its own subject.
