Titlepage to Jacob Boehme, Alle Theosophische Schrifften, 1682, which was published by Boehme s disciple, Johan Gichtel. As is so often the case with the Boehme illustrations, the design centres upon an Eye. This is incorporated into a burning triangle, which is overlaid over a triangle symbolic of the element of Water - together, the two triangles are not only preparatory to forming the Seal of Solomon, but they also represent the conflict of opposites (Fire and Water). The full appreciation of the Boehme symbols and designs (especially those drawn by such men as Gichtel or Freher) require a familiarity with his writings. For example the numbers on the clock-face (as Boehme calls the device) point to Time, while the letters of the alphabet concentric to this dial represents Space.
