The marks, the signs, and the hidden books.

The esoteric side of the record, in one place: symbols and signs, the hidden books, spirit power in the wars, codes, and the lodges' own rituals in their own words. Every one is a Library case with its receipts and its label. Search a motif (serpent, step, spiral, jaguar, eagle) and the museum pieces of the Americas that carry it come up too.
