Description

Symbols are living images with which we must establish dialogue, as their deeper meaning is not immediately apparent to us. Behind their initial and self-evident meaning lies a vaster and richer content, above and beyond what reason can achieve: symbols are the visible face of the invisible. They both bewilder and lead us to infinite new worlds, inhabited by extraordinary figures, mysterious images, phantasmagoric constructions which we must discover and explore. This Encyclopaedia of symbols, whose French edition was overseen by Carl Gustav Jung specialist Michel Cazenave, addresses both the novice and the specialist eager to fine-tune subject knowledge. It consists of hundreds of overarching and detailed articles on the most commonly used symbols in the domains of astrology, the Kabbalah, names, alchemy and explores the different myths and legends, along with their divinities, heroes and beliefs. The themes are categorised in alphabetical order and detailed in an index. Over 1000 black and white or colour illustrations enrich this journey into the world of symbols.
