 masonic and occult symbols illustrated August 1, 2001
19 out of 27 found this review helpful
The text was an extremely useful reference to determine what types and symbols I do not agree with having in my home. Nor do I wish to wear symbols where the use of them would be gravely inconsistant with my beliefs. The auther outlines the meaning and significance of symbols which I would not have been able to decipher simply. This is information anyone concerned about their beliefs being purely represented would be entitled to understand.

This book is highly researched and illustrated. If seeing is believing, you can't help but see for yourself the undeniable reseach the author has compiled. This book is not another quack conspiracy book, see for yourself, full of illustrations that drives the hard truth home and sears the conscience. The book is easy reading and the illustrations are powerful in backing up the authors understanding of symbolism. Not doubt a superb book for those seeking wisdom. Dr. Burns give a Christian perspective in the hidden inner meanings of occult symbols, symbols which the uninitiated and profane people are not suppose to know. She demonstrates from occult sources the hidden meanings in a very easily understandable way. She also discusses common superstitions of the occult. It is a thick book, full of illustrations, well worth the purchase. Forget the Da Vinci Code stuff, that's for rookies, get a Christian scholar's perspective.
 Paranoid Conspiracy Symbols Illustrated August 10, 2003

Dearest Readers,
It has come to my attention that we have encountered another PCT (Paranoid Conspiracy Theorist) that puts themself in the position of "prophet" with a degree unheard of to the common people.
Apparently, this woman has no idea on any culture except for her own pseudo-culture that she loves taking delusions in. OK, now where in Aleister Crowley's history does it have that he is a 33rd degree Freemason? Wait, hold on, does it say anywhere that he was even a mason??? I'm confused now.
Also, I do not understand what the Taoists did to create such "Occultic Meanings" to the Chinese writing system (or so as she claims) For example, the Chinese word for water, shui (a ) is written as "used as a water charm, usually means 'Tao'" Hmm... interesting.
Another thing I'd like to point out is her obsession with CAPITAL LETTERS. For instance: 'Albert Mackey, a well-known Mason, writes that a sumbol is a "assensible image used to express an OCCULT but analogical signification"'(page 6) If you look throughout the book, FREEMASON, MASONIC, MAGIC, OCCULT, SATANIC, and many other words are capitalized and bolded so they stand out. Doesn't that seem to flash for attention?
To conclude, I think that this work is misinformed in a very mortal way. Looks like she didn't feel researchy enough to find out that Satanism wasn't an official religion until Anton LaVey (er... LeVay?) founded the First Church of Satan. In fact, even the Church of Satan doesn't put into the belief of Satan (they're mostly about self-centered philosophies and the fact that man is nothing but an animal)... any objections? I believe that such paranoid works will surface continously, but the fact is that there is not much proof of FREEMASONRY=SATANISM (AHH!!!! SAVE US!!!) Save your resources and find more reliable sources for symbology.
The Best Book I've Read Yet! April 25, 2004
14 out of 23 found this review helpful
I feel that Dr Cathy Burns has done enough reseach, and the way she out lined her views with a Christian view of the occult symbols was great. I have found that everything she says is true, including the research done on Jehovah's Witnesses, and other religions. This book I would recommend to anyone who wants to understand all of the symbols and there connections to the occult.It should be a must read for any Christian.

Before I write my pinion on this book I must point out to the reader that I am a Freemason and therefore bias or just a simple Sex-maniac according to the author of this book.In fact you can summarize this author opinion on freemasonry with 4 words "It's all about sex" (five words actually). I would point any industrious reader who wants to learn about Freemasonry in the direction of Albert Pike, or the numerous monitors to be bought in Amazon i.e. Duncan, Richardson. As for the quality of this book it is simply appalling. Most of the Icons (every thing is sex related according to the author) are copied (maybe plagiary involved?) as is from sites on the Internet some with the worst quality I have seen in a book. Other are from Microsoft picture gallery bank (most infantile I mast add). If I could return a book for its poor unsatisfactory quality that would be the one. Regards, Moshe Shanon, "Alumim" Lodge No. 58 Israel.
