Ancient Signs of Power: Symbolic Hand Gestures from Occult Traditions #1995007 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white illustration, titled “De Signs of Power,” presents four distinct hand gestures rooted in esoteric and folkloric traditions. Each gesture is mounted on a labeled pedestal: “Ye Sign of Vork,” “Ye Sign of Kiste,” “Ye Great Sign of Katje,” and “Ye Elder Sign,” suggesting ceremonial or protective purposes. The stylized drawing evokes 19th- or early 20th-century occult manuscripts, with attention to finger positioning and palm orientation for symbolic effect.

Used on pages about occult symbolism, ceremonial magic, or historical mysticism; serves users researching ritual gestures, Lovecraftian lore (especially the Elder Sign), or comparative iconography in Western esotericism.
