- "In the approximately sixty works in which the symbols of the hermetic philosophy are presented in this exhibition the focal role is revealed of the hermetic philosopher, the candidate in the mysteries, in his encounter with the fullness of the mystery, which is enacted as in a process. The candidate is placed before the age-old hermetic axiom: 'Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem': Visit the Innermost of the Earth and by Rectifying you will find the Hidden Stone. This hidden stone, referred to in the above axiom, in which the Latin initial letters acrostically form the word 'vitriol,' is a symbolical allusion to obtaining the tincture of life, which has been held out to the candidate in the mysteries as a promise, so that, like a crown on his path of initiation, he may receive and apply it as a spiritual force, as the Philosophers’ Stone."
