Etymological roots, the play of opposites, paradox and shadow, the ways in which diverse cultures have engaged a symbolic imageall these factors are taken into consideration.
There are no pat definitions of the kind that tend to collapse a symbol; a still vital symbol remains partially unknown, compels our attention and unfolds in new meanings and manifestations over time.
Rather than merely categorize, The Book of Symbols illuminates how to move from the visual experience of a symbolic image in art, religion, life, or dreams to directly experiencing its personal and psychological resonance.
The Book of Symbols sets new standards for thoughtful exploration of symbols and their meanings, and will appeal to a wide range of readers: artists, designers, dreamers and dream interpreters, psychotherapists, self-helpers, gamers, comic book readers, religious and spiritual searchers, writers, students, and anyone curious about the power of archetypal images.

This isn't the kind of book you just dive into on page one, and plow through in a sequential manner. It is, though, a supurb reference book of all things Jungian, Freudian, archtypal, tantric, and post-modern. For those of you who appreciate and respect the power of the symbols that surround us in our daily lives, this is the tome for you.
Drawing from a variety of traditions, it is nearly exhaustive in scope, yet oddly refreshing in its occasional irreverence towards its own chosen subject matt This isn't the kind of book you just dive into on page one, and plow through in a sequential manner.

It starts with the most fundamental and ancient symbols like the Universal egg and expands further towards modernity passing through the symbolism of the plant world, the animal kingdom, and ultimately, our own artificial creations.
It's a fascinating collection of illustrated essays that would be of interest to anybody. It's beautifully designed, incredibly well researched and a pleasu This is a book that examines how our environment interacts with our psyche and how we make sense of the world.
It's beautifully designed, incredibly well researched and a pleasure to read. Oct 25, Kaitlyn rated it it was amazing Shelves: nonfiction , for-school. So I haven't actually read the book cover to cover, but I have used it as a reference book a number of times, and have absolutely loved this book. It's a great reference for philosophy, literature, art, art history, mythology, etc. One of my professors recommended this book. So I bought a copy. It's a beautiful, hardback book.

It has tabs that make it easy to navigate through the different categories of entries. It has lots of pictures and of course a ton of info. It's been interesting to just pick a random topic and read about it.
This is a cool just-for-fun book, as well as an awesome reference book. Oct 28, Nandakishore Mridula rated it it was amazing Shelves: owned-but-not-read , myth-fairy-tales. A great book to browse through at leisure, if you are interested in myth, art and literature - though you will never finish reading this! See my whimsical blog post , inspired by this book.
Aug 19, Damien rated it it was amazing. Definitely not a "reading" book. More like a "sit and peruse" book. Phenomenal reference book on the archetypal and historical symbolism of a huge variety of objects that, while seemingly mundane, reach deep into the origin myths and the deep spiritual aspects of human psychology and symbolic meaning. I originally picked this up as a christmas present for a friend and never mailed it, as I simply found it too fascinating to give up.
Guess I just have to get another copy for this christmas. Just Definitely not a "reading" book. Just open it up to any page and start reading. Furthermore, the visual illustrations for the enormous volume of entries is as varied and profoundly researched as the information itself—a huge collection of regional, historical and contemporary examples of these symbols make this book a must have for anyone interested in Jungian concepts of collective symbolism, as well as anyone working in the visual arts.
Taschen produces another fantastic work—this is what books are for. Dec 27, Spencer rated it liked it Shelves: pictures. I am not going to put forth the effort to soak this up. I just don't have the time. I just am not prioritizing it. This could be the book to end all books. I wish this book were written by the wisest person alive who could also communicate perfectly with me.
But this is not that book. This book is written by people who sense that there is some incredible meaning to be gleaned from recurring symbols in art through the ages. I too sense this. But I also sense that they have no idea what they are t I am not going to put forth the effort to soak this up.
But I also sense that they have no idea what they are talking about. I wish Camille Paglia wrote this book, or Joseph Smith. Maybe Jung figured all this out but I cant understand Jung for the life of me. While this book is rich in images, symbols, art and their significance, it also lacks some elementary parts in the world of symbols, rendering it practically useless in some fields.
Numbers, fruits, animals and holidays are lacking in their coverage, references that are often made in literature. It is a fun book to delve into and find interesting new facts about symbols, but functionally, it is more like a coffee table book, and less like an encyclopedia or dictionary that has practical use.
