Product Description

In this second installment of this exclusive series we learn the sacred truths of ancient and medieval symbolism employed by secret societies such as the Freemasons. We listen to the teachings from across the ages, drawn together from a lifetime of learning. Tim Wallace-Murphy regularly travels the globe teaching at Masonic Lodges, Spiritual Retreats and major conferences. Here for the first time we can listen to the wisdom of our ancestors in the comfort of our own home and delve into the mind of one who truly understands the sacred nature of God on earth as seen by ancient Gnostics and understand the psychological and spiritual power of symbols.

From cave paintings to Egypt and from pagan sculptures to Christian churches we are led on a journey of profound depth. It's time to listen to the voice of wisdom...

4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding documentary!, August 14, 2008

By	Bruce Myers - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There is a reason the man behind this incredible DVD was a consultant to Dan Brown, author of THE DA VINCI CODE. His documentary is overflowing with cutting-edge information varying from medieval symbolism to the intangible spiritual capacity of symbols. Sound boring? Trust me, it is not. You know how Steven Spielberg can take the most boring, mundane topics and spin unbelievably awesome films out of them? This documentary does just that, only with the mysterious world of symbols. Forget renting, just buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Symbolic beauty and information, March 27, 2008

By	M. Starkey "AustyKai" (PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Within this DVD are the details behind many of the Christian Symbols. The historical research and study is evident. The beauty of the symbols regardless of their specific meanings is reason enough to watch this interesting documentary. Very recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mysteries magazine review, March 18, 2008

By	Kim Guarnaccia "Editor, Mysteries magazine" (Surry, NH) - See all my reviews

A principle trait that differentiates us from other animals, our understanding of symbols has influenced us for thousands of years, and many ancient symbols still accompany us today. Keys to the Code explores the origins and meanings behind many timeless visual metaphors, especially those associated with secret societies and organizations. Substituting a concrete image or object for an abstract one began with our cave-dwelling ancestors, and it is with them that scholar Tim Wallace-Murphy begins.
Many ancient cultures saw art and writing as a form of magic, believing that the depiction of a possibility would make it a reality, such as when writing a spell on papyrus was believed to ensure its fulfillment, or drawing an animal-headed human figure was believed to give a shaman the characteristics of that animal. Later, he delves into more familiar symbols of faith, with particular emphasis on those linked to the Templars and Masonic rites.
Lecture-like, the DVD is divided into several segments, each an extended interview with Wallace-Murphy on a particular topic. His style is casual yet compelling, friendly yet authoritative as he sits on a rumpled couch and expounds upon each subject. The spartan production values, while preventing any distraction from the subject, seem surprisingly amateurish; even a slight change of camera angle would have added new interest to the proceedings. Additionally, there is little visual spice to accompany the lecture, only the occasional slide of an artifact or symbol interspersed with the taped lecture segments.
Its flaws aside, Keys to the Code is a unique collection of insights and its simple, accessible presentation grants it a sense of comfortable authority amidst the hype that usually circulates around the mysteries of symbolism.
