ARGONAUT BOOKS

We make symbols in order to communicate ideas. But we also make symbols to help communicate and understand higher truths that are veiled or hidden to ordinary consciousness. Wherever you are, you are surrounded by symbols. Everyday symbols such as the Freemason's set square or the lotus flower are familiar to nearly everyone, but few are aware of the true significance and fascinating origin of these signs. This book reveals the key ideas and sacred concepts behind over 300 signs and symbols, from those used by ancient religions to the glyphs of medieval magicians.
