Occult Signs and Symbols in Their Interaction with the Astral and Spiritual Worlds

Sometimes it seems that signs and symbols are arbitrary or even random in nature. However, this is fundamentally incorrect. In occultism, each symbol represents a depiction of some fact from the spiritual world. Rudolf Steiner, who possessed a wealth of... spiritual experience, explains the meaning of a whole series of such signs, pointing out their connection with the spiritual worlds. Symbols such as the cross, swastika, pentagram, caduceus are examined in detail, significant attention is paid to the symbolism of numbers, and explanations are given for understanding the so-called Apocalyptic seals — the images from the Revelation of John the Theologian. Rudolf Steiner also provides information about the structure of spiritual worlds and the evolution of humanity, which is necessary for the correct understanding of the topic presented.
