Symbols hold their sway everywhere, in our dreaming and unconscious minds, and in the world around us. They move and inspire us at a deep level of intuitive wisdom, speaking to us in a universal language which the great pioneers of psychology such as Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud helped us to reinterpret. This work offers a pictorial compendium of symbols and symbol systems, and reveals how an understanding of the profound messages conveyed by symbols can enrich our lives. In exploring this theme, David Fontana draws upon his broad knowledge of psychology, Eastern and Western as well as his practical experience of dream workshops and symbols used in meditation.
