The aim of this book is to seek a true understanding of the secret signs, sacred symbols, and other
indicators of the arcane, hidden world that are so thickly clustered around us. During this process,
we’ll shed light on the cultural, psychological, and anthropological nature of our signs and symbols.
We’ll also be surprised to discover that many of the everyday things we take for granted can hold
hidden secrets, and by having the key to this knowledge we’ll gain an insight into the minds and
concerns of our forbears who constructed these symbols.
