Product Description
Excerpt from The Lost Language of Symbolism, Vol. 1: An Inquiry Into the Origin of Certain Letters, Words, Names, Fairy-Tales, Folklore, and Mythologies
There, can be no question that an enormous number of these water marks had a religious significance, but we are asked to believe, on the ground that the same symbol was used contemporaneously in various parts of Europe, that these symbols formed a means of intercommunication and spiritual encouragement between all those who had been admitted to the secrets of the sect. The suggestion has many points to recommend it, but it requires a prolonged and scholarly analysis before it can rank as an acceptable hypothesis.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of symbolism, exploring the hidden meanings behind everyday objects and images. The author takes us on a journey through history, uncovering the ancient roots of symbols used in various cultures and traditions. From religious emblems to printers' marks and paper-makers' devices, the book reveals how these seemingly ordinary signs hold profound significance. Through meticulous analysis, the author demonstrates how symbols served as a means of communication and spiritual encouragement among mystical and puritanic sects during the Middle Ages. These "thought fossils," as the author calls them, offer valuable insights into the evolution of European thought and shed light on obscure historical problems. The book's thematic depth is evident in its exploration of concepts such as the "Ladder of Perfection," the "Invulnerable Shield," and the "Star of the Sea." These symbols represent universal human aspirations for spiritual growth, protection, and guidance.
