Authored by experts across multiple disciplines, this used copy in good condition offers a premium, interdisciplinary resource highly rated by thousands, perfect for professionals and creatives seeking deeper symbolic understanding. ## 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 | #9,841 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Jungian Psychology (Books) #9 in Popular Psychology Reference #151 in Sociology Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,182 Reviews | ## Images ![The Book of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Images (Sourcebook) - 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Book of Symbols *by A***R on July 15, 2026* 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.

A splendid publication! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A veritable BIBLE to understand all things and THE only dream interpretation book you'll ever need *by C***S on March 17, 2024* "Dream dictionaries" are fun, and could even be helpful. I own like 6 or 7 of them. But THIS book, The Book of Symbols, is the one that I have found to have the most accurate interpretations of the things I see and experience in my dreams. Dream dictionaries read more like a collection of superstitions attached to different dream symbols. But The Book of Symbols doesn't approach these symbols with superstition-- they approach it historically and describe what these symbols have represented to human beings for all of human history. So when I had an incredibly vivid dream about being struck my lightning, this was the book that used to interpret this dream, that my psychic subconscious was either warning me of a sudden calamity, or that it represented some sort of great moment of empowerment. It turned out that it was both. Something happened to me a few months after having this very vivid dream that was catastrophic and felt, figuratively speaking, like I had been struck my lightning. But what happened to me also seemed to be a catalyst for some really powerful things to take place in my life. And it was this book and it's research that is has compiled on symbols on archetypes that I used to interpret this experience. I recommend this book to everyone I know who is interested in archetypes, symbolism, or dreams. ## 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.tn/products/79272036-the-book-of-symbols-reflections-on-archetypal-images-sourcebook](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/79272036-the-book-of-symbols-reflections-on-archetypal-images-sourcebook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
