Sigillagraphia - by M B Jackson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

According to those who know, the majority of westernised people live in material ignorance of the spiritual truths of our occult heritage but, when asked about the origins of magic symbols, the uninitiated will reply that they are probably derived from drawings of the stars, as in the signs of the Zodiac. This answer, although not technically correct, is a reminder of the archaic resonance of such signs, having psychologically embedded themselves within mankinds prehistoric subconscious, enabling their descendants to retain such distant memories of their origins. Sigillagraphia or Sigil Writings is an illustrated history of the magic symbols or sigils of western occultism. From their prehistoric origins, beginning around 70,000BCE, it follows their development and transmission into the Post-Modern World. With over 200 high resolution images and detailed text, this is a superb resource for students of art and magic alike.
