[As can be seen from the picture of the cover of J.S.M. Ward's book, the horned hand sign is considered by Freemason Ward to be a Masonic symbol with ties to the Mystery religions of old. Recently, we've seen this hand sign become very popular among the Hollywood elite and in American culture, and this is not a coincidence; the main media has done much to promote the sign, even going so far as to try to associate it with Christianity, despite the fact that it was used by Devil worshipers prior to its more recent reincarnation as a sign of "love" or "rock on" or "go Texas Long Horns".]
