From the yin-yang to the green man, ancient symbols pervade our culture and are imbued with different meanings over time. Symbols explores the mysteries, the power and evolution of this classic form of communication, carefully examining some of the most important symbols in history from across the world. Whether it is the ankh which first emerged in ancient Egypt and later played a major role in the occult world, or the all-seeing eye of the Freemasons, Symbols provides a fascinating overview of the secret language of signs.

Includes:
• Religious symbols: the alter, the druze star, the laughing Buddha...
