Authored by experts across psychology, religion, and art, it offers deep insights into the psychic and cultural significance of symbols, making it an essential resource for professionals and curious minds alike. ## Description The Book of Symbols combines original and incisive essays about particular symbols with representative images from all parts of the world and all eras of history. The compelling texts and over 800 beautiful full-color images come together in a unique way to convey hidden dimensions of meaning. Each of the ca. 350 essays examines a given symbol’s psychic background, and how it evokes psychic processes and dynamics. Etymological roots, the play of opposites, paradox and shadow, the ways in which diverse cultures have engaged a symbolic image—all these factors are taken into consideration. Authored by writers from the fields of psychology, religion, art, literature, and comparative myth, the essays flow into each other in ways that mirror the psyche’s unexpected convergences. 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. Review: The Book of Symbols - The best collection of Symbols in a book I’ve found so far, and there are several out, I have more than one so I can compare, this one is Superior. Wonderful photos and research. Highly recommend. Review: A Wonderful Offering - This is a marvelous book. A symbol potently stands in for an idea that we can barely grasp and cannot easily express. The book sensitively and perceptively assembles 1,700 carefully selected images of hundreds of exemplary symbols. Spanning human cultures from prehistoric times and across the planet, the symbols have been variously embodied in wood, bone, ivory, gold, bronze, stone, mica, terra-cotta and other ceramics, and as imagery on rock faces, walls and ceilings, boards, fabrics, canvas, and paper. The book’s creators have selected these images with great care and have framed them well. The symbols are gathered thematically: of the cosmos itself and of the plant, animal, human, and spirit worlds. Each particular symbol is accompanied by an informed and end-noted essay about its accompanying images and its category of possible meanings. This heavy, 800-page book reflects extraordinary care in design, choices of imagery, full-color printing, and overall high quality. A splendid publication! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #17,371 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16 in Jungian Psychology (Books) #19 in Popular Psychology Reference #282 in Sociology Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,174 Reviews | ## Images ![The Book of Symbols.

I went through every page from beginning to end; I left, came back, and looked up random symbols, and it’s filled with incredible information, stunning artwork, and rich history. For me, it was like drawing a tarot card or connecting with an oracle. I loved it—ever since I started reading it, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it ## Frequently Bought Together - The Book of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Images - Alchemy & Mysticism - Plant Magick --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/79272036-the-book-of-symbols-reflections-on-archetypal-images](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/79272036-the-book-of-symbols-reflections-on-archetypal-images) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
