Most people encounter occult symbols as patches, tattoos, or album art, which is fine, but there's a whole other level of understanding available if you actually know where the signs came from and what they were built to do.Sigils, Ciphers and Scripts maps the graphic origins and occult history of the symbols that have been running through Western esoteric tradition for centuries, from ceremonial magic alphabets and alchemical notation through to the sigil systems still used in contemporary chaos magick practice. It's richly illustrated and written accessibly, so it works both as an entry point for people new to the dark aesthetic side of occultism and as a solid reference for practitioners who want the deeper context. If you've ever had a symbol tattooed on you and felt slightly embarrassed that you only knew the surface meaning, this is the book that fixes that.Softcover. Concise reference format with full illustrations throughout.
