The symbol upon the cover of this book The Light of

Egypt is complex in meaning. It is the symbol of Spiritual

Initiation, and means, literally, "I have pierced the illusions

of matter, and I am conscious that I am Divine." The seven

stars represent the seven Principles of Nature. The serpent

represents the objective phenomena of life, and the arrow

piercing the serpent represents the human soul which is

conscious of its origin, power and destiny.

The name Zanoni means: — Zan, a star; oni, a child of

or son of; thus Zanoni, son of a star.

The double zee ( ) means completion.
