Theos-Talk Archives (May 2004 Message tt00238)

Hello my name is Paul Bader and I am searching for information about an 
unusual gravestone glyph. 

Pictures of this glyph and an account of my investigation into it thus 
far can be found here:

It has some striking similarities to the emblem for the Theosophical 
Society, but I was recently informed that both this symbol as well as 
the Theosophical emblem may actually be derived from talismans based on 
the Keys of Solomon.

1. How old is the emblem for the Theosophical Society? Was it contrived 
in 1875 or at a later date?
2. Is this a symbol for a group, possibly an offshoot of the 
Theosophical Society?
3. What does A-O-P stand for?
4. What is the connection between Blavatsky, the Academy of Paris, 
Egypt, and Atlantis? 
5. If this is indeed a talisman created using French Renaissance 
magical techniques, what is it supposed to do considering the elements 
utilized within it?

Constructive or insightful feedback is appreciated.
Thanks for your time and attention.

Best Regards,
Paul Bader
