This book is quite interesting and useful to anyone involved with magic symbols in any way. Each element of a symbol is explored in isolation - circle, arc, horizontal and vertical line, etc. - which enables the reader to begin interpreting almost any symbol encountered, or indeed to create his/her own. More complex symbols are also investigated, such as the Fish, Ankh, Pentagram, Monad, etc. and lead up to examinations of highly complex symbolic representations such as Alchemical Illustrations.
