Designed with premium materials and thoughtful organization, it serves as an essential reference for artists, thinkers, and professionals seeking deeper psychological and cultural insights. ## 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 highly readable 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 16 x 24 x 1 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | Isbn 10 | 3836514486 | | Isbn 13 | 978-3836514484 | | Item Weight | 1.78 kg | | Language | English | | Print Length | 808 pages | | Publication Date | 24 Sept. 2010 | | Publisher | TASCHEN Gmbh | ## Images ![The Book Of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Images - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iYrp2iRQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful quality book, its a treasure *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 June 2025* I had this on my wish list for quite some time before indulging and I am very glad I did.

Very well written *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 10 February 2019* This book is amazing. I bought for husband who has not put it down. It’s very well written and is so insightful. The book itself is beautiful and has sections carved into the pages to form tabs for quick access to the categories. It also has stunning hanging ribbon page markers for each section all different colours. The pages are filled with beautiful pictures to accompany and support the text and also has many analysis of art relating to the symbols too. The spine is strong and the book is clearly made so well. The cover has a slight Deboss and makes a nice texture. I don’t know how this book is at this price. If this is something that interests you It’s a steal. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Whether you are interested in history, art or religion or just symbolism - buy it! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 February 2020* Informational, lots of pictures, well written... Loving it so far, interesting topic. I like the perspective from which the history and meanings of a certain motif is described throughout time and location. Easy to search especially if you are interested in religious/artistic/historical aspect of a certain motif, it gathers all information in a page or two. Good reference book, that's for sure!
