Secret symbols - The key to the world of esotericism - Liisa Väisänen

Open the door to the secret world of symbols.

Grail, rainbow and snake. Apple, rose and cross. Throughout the ages, people have communicated with the help of symbols, and these signs are everywhere around us. Secret symbols are often associated in our minds with something occult or evil, but the reality is often much more interesting.

What symbols have secret societies used to communicate secretly from others, and what do the images on tarot cards mean? And what are prison tattoos supposed to say? Symbol researcher Liisa Väisänen's introductory work from voodoo to alchemy and Kabbalah to hieroglyphs is a fascinating visual journey into our mysterious cultural history.
