Customer Reviews
the best
I'm very glad to see this is still available as it is widely regarded as the best book of its kind. If you are going to have one dictionary of symbols it should be this one. Next best is Cooper's. The greatest authority on symbolism per se is Rene Guenon, whose 'Fundamental Symbols'is a classic and an initiatory text. Symbols mediate between the spiritual and material planes. To contemplate them with understanding is to open doors that allow the spiritual to communicate directly with the soul.
