Signs and Symbols: Unlocking the Spiritual Meaning of Angelic Sigils, Totems, and Other Magic, Sacred and Religious Symbols (Spiritual Symbols)

First, I would like to say "Thank You" to Mari Silva for blessing us with, yet, another great book. She starts this book off discussing some of the widely known symbols in the world, i.e., the Apple Logo, Shell Logo, and Nike Swoosh, just to name a very. The author provided this information to introduce the fact that symbols in the Occult are just as well-known and important. Take for example the Pentagram, the Hexagram and other various symbols and signs. Mari Silva discussed some of the many Archangels and how they can help, in addition to learning which is best suited to help us in a particular situation. I, particularly, always enjoy learning color meanings and she gives a brief meaning of the colors of feathers. Quite impressive. Plus, I find it very beneficial that she has included in this book various prayers to some of the Archangels. She discusses the Zodiac Wheel and the planetary glyphs, along with totem animals and one can recognize one's totem animal. Silvia provided a list of some totem animals, their meaning and how totem animals are associated with one's zodiac sign. I love the information she provided in the chapter on the symbols of protection. This book is filled with various symbols, signs, their meaning and the benefits of creating sigils. Highly recommend this book for anyone serious about their occult working.

I found this book to be very informative and easy to comprehend and to fully understand how symbols are an important part of our history. I would and shall recommend this to my friend s. Thank you

This is a pretty decent starter book, but I was a touch disappointed to see there were 3 whole chapters dedicated to Angels, and none of the other wonderful religions or systems of belief got nearly as much attention. In fact most of them shared chapters with other types of symbols and systems of belief. Also, the spirit animals of the various zodiacs are debatable and I have read conflicting information from other sources, so keep in mind that a symbol is what you make it to be, not what someone else said it is. If you believe that a pentacle is a sign of Satan then it certainly wouldn’t work as a protection charm for you. With all of this being said, it is written well, and it’s easy to read, but trust your own intuition over anything someone else says. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great service, arrived quickly and as advertised

It is a great outlook , being an artist and a healer it totally makes sense to me , thanks

An informative book that 'describes' a large number of symbols ... and that is the problem I had with this book. I need to SEE the symbols. Granted there are some illustrations but with a book dedicated to something so visual - where are the illustrations? For example, the Nero's Cross is described as "It is an inverted broken cross that incorporates a circle to represent the vision of Nero, which was to destroy Christianity to bring peace." I personally am not clear what this symbol looks like so I went did a Google search/images and got a page of peace signs - and other images. Confusing. An illustration in the book would have been "useful."

Interesting topic but disappointing writing. This book is basically a compilation of information from other books that double checked. They provide totem animals for all of the zodiacs and information about the totems, but some totems were left out. After reading a chapter, this book was set aside in hopes that I feel like reading the rest of it.

This is a very thorough book on signs and symbols. It covers everything from animal totems, dream symbols, geometric shapes, angel signs, etc. The author does a good job covering just about every single thing she could in each section. There were quite a lot of things I have never heard of, and I have books on signs and symbols already. It makes a good read for anyone interested in the subject. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

love the information inside this book

A few of these I personally know more about and felt different information would have been more pertinent, also a small picture of each symbol beside all definitions would have helped, but all in all informative and good read

I was initially delighted that the Signs and Symbols book arrived on time and without hesitation I browsed through each section. There is without doubt useful information describing some symbols in detail and there symbolism. I did like the information on animal totems, ancient runes, symbols of protection, some dream symbols and not forgetting the the Angelic Sigils and prayers. No doubt it will come in handy, for now it was a dictionary type book I was interested in with all the pictures and meanings of all the ancient symbols.

I expected more from this book. It was very limited in scope and breadth, with few actual visual representations of the signs and symbols mentionned. I read it free with Kindle Unlimited, otherwise I would have asked for a refund. Not a reference book, more of a light coffeetable book for someone whom has never heard of symbols, sigils, or the internet. I feel like this was entirely ghost-written and Silva just slapped their name on it -- there's none of the depth I've found in some of their other books.

i felt parts of the book informative but as it is talking of signs and symbols i feel each one should have been show in a pic. Also book seem to go off topic at times.
