Summary

Description
English: A Cross of Light, with at White Rose at the center. Wings at the upper arm spread upward and outward. At the lower arm, two wings are folded. (painting)

From The Winged Self (Back cover), Rays from the Rose Cross:
"Lord God of heaven and earth, Thou hast vouchsafed of Thy grace, to those of our order, to know Thy works of creation, and secrets of them...I do here acknowledge and testify before this people, that the thing which we now see before our eyes is Thy finger, and a true miracle, The Winged Self! And for as much as we learn in our books that Thou workest miracles but to a divine and excellent end, we most humbly beseech Thee to prosper this great sign, and to give us the interpretation and use of it in mercy; which Thou didst in some part secretly promise, by sending it unto us."
     — From New Atlantis, by Francis Bacon. Bacon was a Rosicrucian whose works, through an intermediary, were inspired by Christian Rosenkreuz (Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, pages 251, 518)
