Art (/Alchemy/Temperance/Whatever) is one of my favorite Tarot cards. The Thoth deck is, thus far, my favorite deck. However, I'm curious: what does the writing around the Art card in the Thoth deck say? I'm guessing it's Latin, but my Latin isn't that good and I can't quite make it out. I'll probably get The Book of Thoth along with Understanding the Thoth Tarot sometime soon, but in the mean time, I'm curious. What does it say?

visita interiora terrae rectificando invenies occultum lapidem. "visit the interior parts of the earth: by rectification thou shalt find the hidden stone." the initials make up the word vitriol, the universal solvent.

Thank you Zoya, I've been trying to for a while to muddle those words out.
