The alchemical motto for vitriol is “Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem,” “Visit the interior of the earth and rectifying (purifying) you will find the hidden stone.” The motto originated in L’Azoth des Philosophes by the 15th Century alchemist Basilius Valentinus.

The motto is a common component of the symbolic “Chamber of reflection,” where an adept contemplates and reflects on the process of internal, spiritual purification.
