Description
The Book of Symbols is a comprehensive exploration of symbols and their meanings throughout history. This book brings together original essays and over 800 full-color images to reveal the hidden dimensions of meaning behind various symbols. Each of the approximately 350 essays examines a symbol's psychic background, considering factors such as etymological roots, the play of opposites, paradox, and shadow, as well as how diverse cultures have engaged with symbolic images. The essays are written by experts from various fields, including psychology, religion, art, literature, and comparative myth, and are designed to illuminate the personal and psychological resonance of symbolic images. Rather than providing pat definitions, The Book of Symbols offers a thoughtful exploration of symbols and their meanings, making it a valuable resource for artists, designers, dreamers, psychotherapists, and anyone curious about the power of archetypal images. This book sets a new standard for exploring symbols and their meanings, making it an essential resource for those seeking to understand the deeper significance of visual experiences in art, religion, life, or dreams.
