Sophia Hermetica

Sophia herself—a winged, crowned, and haloed female embodying enlightened consciousness and the active force of spiritual transformation (often linked to kundalini-shakti in esoteric interpretations). She holds a sword symbolizing discernment, truth, and the cutting away of illusions, while her other hand grasps a heart pierced by an arrow, representing sacrificial love, inner purification, or the piercing energy of awakening.
The nudity of the central figure—representing Sophia, the embodiment of divine wisdom—symbolizes the unveiling of truth, purity, and the stripping away of illusions or material veils to reveal the essential, divine nature of the soul or the alchemical process.
