Are There Any Books That List And Explain Masonic And Occult Imagery And Symbolism?

Book
I’m looking for a book that basically lists symbols and imagery associated with the occult and the freemasons. I’ve obviously searched myself but all I can find are books that explain in detail the history of both groups. I’m looking more for a kind of visual – encyclopedia…
Thanks!

Pick up Mackey’s Encyclopedia of Freemasonry; it would be a good starting point.
There are several that talk about freemasonry and many are accurate, none are complete, there is no single source of info on masonic symbolism because it is so many different things to so many different people.

Mackey’s (I may have misspelled that) Encyclopedia of Freemasonry
However, don’t confuse Masonry with the traditional definition of the Occult–Freemasonry is not a religion, nor does it teach a particular set of morals or values, but encourages its members to search for themselves.

About.com has useful information on religious and occult symbols, as well as Masonic symbols. Their site can involve a lot of clicking but it’s useful.
