There are continuing theological and philisophical themes running through the band's history. The visual presentation of the albums relies heavily on icons and symbols related to these ideas. On the 2004 release 'Book of Horizons' Spruance split Secret Chiefs 3 into six sub-bands (Forms, Ur, Traditionalists, Ishraqiyun, The Electromagnetic Azoth and The Holy Vehm), each representing particular themes or musical styles, and each with potential to exist outside the main Secret Chiefs 3 collective.
