Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

People all over the world have always used symbols to express and communicate the things that mean most to them. From a country's flag, which can signify more than patriotism, to a charm bracelet, with its "portable memories," symbolism takes various forms. Familiarity with symbolism opens up levels of understanding most of us have probably never been aware of. Why, for instance, do we share a secret with the words "a little bird told me?" What is it about a horseshoe that, in the right circumstances, brings luck? Why a horse's shoe? How old is the swastika, and where has it been used as a symbol (and what was Jung getting at when he said the Nazis used it "backwards")?

  • Encyclopedia of Traditional Symbols

    This a dictionary of historical symbology from multiple regional areas of the world. It is a good reference tool and an appropriate primer for those interested in the subject. It is not a philosophical treatise of cross cultural symbolism - rather a concise and abbreviated encyclopedia. Black and white photos; small print; good initial reference tool that scrathes the surface of the subject of symbology.
