Artwork: (Top) Alchemical Rose-Croix and Beehive with alchemical flask, from Geheimnisse einiger Philosophen und Adepten 1780 via alchemywebsite.com Unlike (some of) their spiritual ancestors the Rosicrucians, and like (some of their other spiritual ancestors) their Templar forerunners, Mormons actually reject the iconography of the "uneven" cross. The Beehive, however, should be familiar to anyone who has visited Utah. In a basic sense, The Rose-Croix could be analogous to the masonic compass and square or the Asian yin and yang symbol. (Bottom) Maier's famous picture: the circle becomes a square, then a triangle then again a circle.
