Sigils, Ciphers and Scripts

Rate this book
The occult art of magic writing begins in pre-history with the creation of
the two elemental signs called the dot or egg and the line, serpent or sperm.
These two signs are the mother and father of all other signs, symbols and
letters that have come into being.
The meaning and form of the two signs have been symbolically
refined over the millennia by magicians. In the form of magic letters they
are signatures, literal and abstract, of the Universal forces of Creation,
from where all knowledge originates.
Concisely written and richly illustrated, Magic Writing is a most accessible
and informative book on the occult history and graphic origins of the signs,
symbols, scripts and ciphers of Western Occultism. Making it the first point
of reference for all artists, designers, students and tutors with an interest in
the esoteric glyphs of European mysticism.

This book was a quick enough read with just enough meaty information to serve as a jumping off point for deeper study into the history of occultic symbols. It's like a cliff note version of this topic that serves the purpose of a list of topics and histories to dive deeper into.

I did a Booktube review for it here: https://youtu.be/xQjl-LF8iGQ
