There are three things mixed up here. One is the valid ritual use of symbolism. That Iamblichus book somebody else mentioned the other day is explicit that all this is in the most ancient written texts in Sumeria and Babylon. The symbol communicates what is inexplicable in our everyday human language.

There are a number of eye glyphs in Wallis Budge's Gods of the Egyptians to cite the most obvious example of this.

The second thing is the cottage industry of illuminati books where masons or the jesuits or the jews supposedly have the power to manipulate us into buying a billion Beatles records, 99.9% of which is fiction although a small amount, such as the work of Texe Marrs you cite is fascinating.

The third thing is purely mindless mass market fad and fashion like Lady Gaga. They do what works and gets attention and the world's greatest marketers (like this guy) are unanimous that nobody understands what works and it is ALL hit and mostly miss.
