That is the Perfect Square. These 4 Elements are further reduced to the Alchemical Trinity. Where Fire and Air stand for Sulfur, the Soul. Water for Mercury, the Spirit. And Salt for Earth, the Body. [/quote] Interesting. I think you're right. That's what's interesting about studying this: One symbol leads to others, which lead to others, and on and on. It's the journey, not the destination. Along the way, you will "know thyself". [/quote]

This is what the "G" symbol in Freemasonry stands for...
Notice first, that it's always a capital "G". The reason for this is, because the capital "G" contains both the arc (made by the compasses) and the the right angle (made by the square) -- the heavenly and earthly, respectively, architect's designs, made by the Freemason's working tools.
It's the combination of the heavenly and earthly in one symbol -- "G". Just as the number 7 is said to be the "perfect" number. That's because 3 is the number of heaven (think: the Trinity...which pre-dates Christianity), and 4 is the number of earth (the "four corners of the earth").
So simple, yet so complex.
