 Garbage November 17, 2008
I thought I was really buying something and ended up being junk. This writer doesn't know a thing about symbols and she's writing from a Christian point of view and fails to realize that christianity has multiple of pagan symbols in which one is the cross, but she doesn't mention not one of them.
If your are a conscience person seeking true knowledge this book is not for you, but if you're spiritually blind this book is perfect for you. All of you who gave this book a positive rating be warned if you see any of these symbols don't judge them by this book. You'll be passing false judgment.
It was written by a Christian for Christians all others leave it alone.
It far from facts.

This book appears well researched. It is rich in information that is well supported by other literature on the subject matter. This book is an excellent reference.
 Setting the record straight August 2, 2008
Some other reviewers give this book low ratings, because it doesn't coincide with what they choose to believe. It doesn't make the book any worse! (Or any less true). Now that is out of the way, let's review the book.
For your money, you get hundreds and hundreds of pages crammed full of just what it says: symbols. From the "Christian" Cross to the peace sign, and just about everything in between. This is where it gets interesting, because many of these symbols originated in ways we wouldn't have imagined.
And this is where the book becomes valuable, because the text is well researched and highly informative. And passionately relayed. Cathy Burns means business, and delivers abundantly. She doesn't twist the truth and she remains unbiased.
On the other hand, the editors could have done something about the layout and design of the book. It could have been packaged much better. The layout really is pathetic. And the book could do with an update, as the topic is current and relevant, but also very dynamic.
I always used to think the "Christian" cross came from the cross that Christ was crucified on. Boy, was I wrong. Bet you are thinking now that yes, if I thought that, I probably also thought that the star of David came from David. And that the sign of Islam had something to do with the crescent moon and sun. Guilty as charged. Wow! What an interesting book!
I wish I did not waste the money on it April 26, 2008
Every symbol almost is followed by why it is evil and a bible passage. I did buy a bible. I wanted the meaning of the symbols and that was it. I'm also a religious person so it is not that I have anything against her or her beliefs but it just wasn't what I wanted.
One person said that you had to have knowledge to understand it but I do. I fully understand all conspiracy theory and some of what she wrote could be true.
But again I wasn't looking to buy a bible.
Good book October 26, 2007

Good informative book for those who knows about history, customs, occults; for those, who understands what is behind all of this. Everybody else would, probably just give it one star.
