EDITORS COMMENTS
The Jewel of the Rose Croix, published in 1928, is a captivating and enigmatic print that delves into the depths of Masonic, Hermetic, qabbalistic, and Rosicrucian symbolical philosophy. Created by John Augustus Knapp and featured in Manly P. Hall's encyclopedic outline of secret teachings concealed within rituals and mysteries throughout history, this colour lithograph offers a profound interpretation of esoteric knowledge. In this mesmerizing artwork, we are drawn to the central image of a pelican feeding her chicks with drops of blood from her own breast. This powerful symbol represents sacrifice and nourishment on multiple levels - both physical and spiritual. The cross intertwined with roses further alludes to divine love and resurrection. The intricate details within the print invite us to explore its occult symbolism further. Each element holds significance: from the mystical cross representing spirituality to the delicate rose petals signifying purity amidst thorns. It is through these symbols that ancient wisdom is conveyed. Housed at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, this timeless masterpiece continues to captivate audiences with its rich symbolism and hidden meanings. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of humanity's eternal quest for enlightenment as well as our connection to age-old traditions such as Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism.
