Description

This deluxe silkbound hardback is a fascinating reference guide exploring the history and meanings behind over 130 symbols, beautifully illustrated in full-colour.

From the yin-yang to the green man, ancient symbols pervade our culture and are imbued with different meanings over time. Symbols explores the mysteries, the power and evolution of this classic form of communication, carefully examining some of the most important symbols in history from across the world. Whether it is the ankh which first emerged in ancient Egypt and later played a major role in the occult world, or the all-seeing eye of the Freemasons, Symbols provides a fascinating overview of the secret language of signs.

Includes:
• Religious symbols: the alter, the druze star, the laughing Buddha...
• Symbols of luck, wealth and power: the horseshoe, the eye of Ra, heraldry...
• Masonic symbols and rituals: the level and plumbline, the triangle, the column...
• Symbols of the occult: tarot, the zodiac...
• The symbolism of animals: the goat, the hare, the magpie...
• Symbols in nature: the lotus, the river, the moon...

With clear depictions of each symbol discussed and examples of their usage, this book sheds light on the cultures of the world and how they manifest through fascinating iconography.
