James Wasserman (1948-2020) was the author of the bestselling Templars and Assassins: The Militia of Heaven and The Slaves Shall Serve: Meditations on Liberty. He was a longtime student of the occult sciences and lived in New York City.
"Within this book, in vivid color, are the sacred colors, shapes
and symbols of the Western Mystery Tradition. If a picture is worth
a thousand words, then the wisdom contained herein is infinite. As
a reference book for symbols and sacred art, as a gateway into the
Western Mystery Tradition, or simply as a pleasant read, this book
is well worth adding to your library. You will turn to it again and
again, and walk away pleased each and every time."
*Bonnie Cehovet, Angelfire.com, April 2006*
"This is a beautifully illustrated book, and the text matches the
illustrations in its honesty and approach. Highly recommended."
*Lee Prosser, Ghostvillage.com, May 2006*
"This is a fabulous volume of insightful prose, and images that
stir the soul. If you already have the previous edition it is worth
taking the time to examine this new edition as well, if you own
neither, you will enjoy adding it to your collection."
*Mark Stavish, Institute for Hermetic Studies, June 2006*
“This is one of the most visually stunning works I have seen in a
very long time. I would have expected a much higher price for the
quality, or a much lower quality based on the price. The
combination of excellent quality and reasonable price was a very
pleasant surprise. If you are interested in symbolic
representations of mystical themes, this book belongs in your
library. It is a book to be savored and enjoyed on an on-going
basis.”
*Mike Gleason, Witchgrove, March 2007*
