An Alchemical Cryptogram from The Secret Teachings of all Ages by Manly P. Hall
Read clockwise, the capital letters of the seven words in the outer circle form the word SVLPHVR. From the words in the second circle, when read in a similar manner, is derived FIXVM. The capitals of the six words in the inner circle, when properly arranged, also read ESTSOL. The following cipher is thus extracted: “Sulphur Fixum Est Sol,” which when translated is: “Fixed sulphur is gold.”
