Dictionary of Occult, Hermetic and Alchemical Sigils

Occult text of sigils and symbols

Dictionary of Occult, Hermetic and Alchemical Sigils, written by Fred Gettings [fr] in 1981, is a reference, guide, and source book, which examines variations in, developments of, and meanings of sigils and symbols, used by occultists, alchemists, astrologers, hermeticists, magicians and others, over the past millennium.[1][2][3] Contains several thousand sigils from the hermetic, astrological and alchemical tradition. These are classified alphabetically. Gettings also included a useful graphic index which links their graphic form with a related verbal meaning and this would make it much easier to use these sigils meaningfully in ceremonies, etc.
