Signs Symbols and Omens Softcover Book

Every subculture runs on symbols. The patch on your jacket, the sigil on your wrist, the band logo you've had memorised since you were fifteen, all of it is a language spoken before words get involved.

Signs, Symbols and Omens traces that impulse back through the full sweep of human history, from prehistoric cave markings through to the iconography that powers occult, gothic and esoteric traditions today. For anyone who's ever felt drawn to a particular symbol without quite knowing why, or who wants the deeper cultural and magical context behind the imagery already embedded in their dark aesthetic, this is the kind of reference book that earns a permanent spot on the shelf. Author Raymond Buckland, a significant figure in Western occult publishing, covers everything from alchemical and astrological symbols to omens, superstition and the language of dreams.
