here is a cool book:







http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/art/all/45421/gallery.alchemy_mysticism.htm

it is a huge compendium of imagery and symbols from manuscripts and other works by alchemists and occultists - mostly central European from the 15th-17th centuries (and especially a lot of work from Jakob Boehme and Michael Maiar in particular) but featuring a good amount of other material as well.

I got this a week ago on this recommendation, just wanted to repeat this. It's 500+ full-color, glossy pages. Not a lot of hard info, but it's really beautiful and for $25 including shipping, it's worth it even as just a nice coffee table book.
