Divided into seven thematic sections - astrology; the natural world; sacred writings; alchemy, numerology and sacred geometry; magic; demonology; and the western esoteric tradition - this decoding guide is the ultimate resource for unlocking the secret language of signs and symbols for the modern occultist." --, Publisher's website
