Symbolism. Treatise on the Soul of Things (1905)

Attention to our readers is drawn to the book by Milton Alberto Pottenger "Symbolism: a treatise on the soul of things". The world of nature is nothing but a symbol of the Real world. The deck of playing cards, or the Book of fifty-two, is an ancient Masonic Bible. Each card symbolizes a Universal law. The United States of America is a Masonic nation, the destiny and history of which can be learned from these ancient sacred symbols. Our mathematical system consists of ten digits. Why are they arranged in this way? Why are there only ten of them? They reveal the same psychic laws as the ten point cards. The author has found the lost Word, and has given new and natural explanations to many Masonic symbols and biblical expressions.

The content of this book, among other things, covers the symbols hidden in our ordinary playing cards, as well as the Major Arcana of Tarot in the context of astrology and numerology, along with their esoteric Masonic interpretations. The section on playing cards will be very interesting to those who have studied the work of Olney H. Richmond "The Book of Mystical Experiments or the Magic of Cards" (published by our publishing house in 2015). In addition, the book includes fold-outs (diagrams) so that readers can understand what the mentioned diagrams represent, as they are very small and working with them is quite difficult.

In this book, readers will find practical exercises that contribute to physical and spiritual development, such as mental exercises and dynamic gymnastics with controlled breathing, for training the will.
