A look into secrets hidden in music, painting, sculpture, and
architecture - Ranges from paintings of Byzantine icons to Salvador
Dali, music from Mozart to Satanic Rock, and mystery sites from the
Pyramids to Andrea Palladio's Villa Cornaro - Includes more than
100 color and black-and-white images that reveal the mysteries
contained in these artistic works In Secret Societies and the
Hermetic Code, Ernesto Frers presents a virtual museum of artistic
works that contain occult secrets. The scope of his research ranges
from the paintings of Byzantine icons to Salvador Dali, from
mystery sites such as the Pyramids to the architecture of Andrea
Palladio's Villa Cornaro. He also discusses the hermetic influence
on music evidenced in the works of Mozart through to the modern era
of rock and roll. Frers explains that all cultures encode in their
architecture, art, and music the instructions and diagram of their
esoteric ritual and faith. He shows how during the Middle Ages and
Renaissance, the Church's severe censure of anything antithetical
to its dogma forced artists to conceal mystical references within
the religious images or scenes they depicted. By examining works
that have not received such scrutiny before, including those of
Titian, di Cosimo, Botticelli, and Rembrandt, Frers brings to light
the symbols and cryptic messages hidden in these masterworks. He
presents his evidence using more than 100 color and black-and-white
images to reveal the mysteries contained in these works of art. He
also extends his investigation to the occult leanings of modern-day
musicians such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Led Zepplin.
