Synopsis:
"Sacred Symbols" is a series of volumes that introduce the ancient, universal wisdoms of humankind. Symbol and ritual go to the heart of human experience. Throughout history humans have developed elaborate symbolic systems to help allay their fear of the unknown and to tap the deep well-springs of spirituality. Today, people are discovering the relevance of these belief systems to life in the 1990s. From cults of blood-letting to the mysterious ball-game, Maya culture expressed itself almost entirely through symbolic acts and art. This book shows the figurines, painted vessels, portrait masks and other symbolic artefacts that make up this public and private ritual of worship and sacrifice.
