A Suggestive Inquiry into the Hermetic Mystery : with a Dissertation on the more Celebrated of the Alchemical Philosophers ...
Mary Anne Atwood's 1920 study of Hermetic alchemy, published by Tait and held in C.G. Jung's library, is a scholarly treatise on the alchemical philosophers written for readers of esoteric and philosophical texts. The pictures are emblematic: a winged angel over a heraldic shield with a star and cross, a crowned dragon beneath a Latin motto with an ouroboros enclosing an eight-pointed star, and a faded photograph of a seated woman among foliage, offering a designer ready motifs of heraldry, serpent circles and symbolic crests.
