Religion og spiritualitet
A comprehensive guidebook to over one hundred occult secrets from throughout the world and throughout the ages.
From the strange symbols on a one-dollar bill to the secret signs of the Knights Templar and Freemasons, invisible societies, and the world of magic and alchemy, The Book of Secrets is a comprehensive introduction to the world of secret and esoteric knowledge throughout history.
In the mystery tradition, “secrets” are levels of consciousness that are hidden from our normal mental state, the acquisition of a new point of view. The Book of Secrets delves into the world of the “occult,” the initiated secret traditions of the fascinating unseen spiritual world: its symbols, secret societies, and seers.
