About the book: This fascinating encyclopedia deals with the hidden meaning of more than 800 pictorial symbols across all countries and times. Collected from the most diverse eras and cultures, they range from the sun to whales to the human hand. Each symbol is accompanied by an expert explanation of its history, its meanings, and its psychological associations – a valuable and fascinating source for a deeper understanding of life, art, and spirituality.
Biography: Based on Carl Gustav Jung's work on archetypes and the collective unconscious, the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) houses mythological, ritualistic, and symbolic imagery from all parts of the world and all eras of human experience. The collection of 17,000 photographic images, supplemented by commentaries on the respective cultural-historical context, explores the universality of archetypal themes and provides testimony to the deep, constant connections of all living things.
