Synopsis:
This volume offers a pictorial compendium of symbols and symbol systems, and shows how an understanding of the messages conveyed by symbols may enrich our lives. The author draws upon psychology, Eastern and Western spirituality, anthropology, dreams and symbols used in meditation to provide an understanding of his subject. The book looks at the great symbol systems in detail - from I Ching to the zodiac - and shows how even those sceptical of the claims of astrology and fortune telling can use them creatively as aids to self-discovery. Dr David Fontana has also written "Dreamlife: Understanding and Using Your Dreams" and "Elements of Meditation".
