Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Since Jung's Man and His Symbols , several visual glossaries, from Eva Hangen's Symbols , Our Universal Language , to full-text studies by Joseph Campbell, have appeared. Drawing not only from nature, or objects, but sounds, odors, metaphors, gestures, myths, hybrid creatures, mazes, mystical gardens, mandalas, and celestial bodies Fontana (Univ. of Wales) offers the most comprehensive array yet. In this work, enhanced by over 300 color illustrations, he aims to stimulate interest and access to the symbolic world. The work is more than a simple reference tool; opening chapters reflect a Jungian slant that archetypes from the collective unconscious project the power of symbols found in art, meditation, and dreaming. Final chapters describe occult symbolic systems such as Kabbalah, alchemy, tarot, tantra, astrology, and I Ching. Highly recommended.

Format:Taschenbuch
This is one of the first books that sparked my interest in symbolism, its origins and meanings. It's done in an easy to read way w/ mostly color illustrations. While symbolism detail is brief, it does enough to spark the interest to want more. I really enjoyed it as a casual read and moved on to other more informative texts in specific areas based on the book.
Format:Taschenbuch
A wonderful book. The highly readable text & awesome selection of fine arts illustrations make "The Secret Language of Symbols" one of the best in its genre. While it will serve well as an introductory book to various oracular & spiritual symbols, it offers much for the expert, also. It is extremely important that everyone who relies on oracles & predictive astrology go behind those useful functions to the deep foundations of life-affirming poetry & metaphor that are always present. You will feel closer to the natural world no matter where you live, & your heart & your brain will be more cooperative with each other.

A terrific visual guide to symbols and their meanings...
21. Oktober 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a splendid book. It's chock-full of wonderful illustrations covering topics as diverse as can be, from astrology to Heraldic animals, the four elements to the Kabbalah. In the introduction we are given an overview of various schools of thought about symbols, including Jungian as well as various culteral perspectives.
The chapters of the book include: The Power of Symbols; The World of Symbols; The Uses of Symbols; and Symbol Systems. Covered topics include: Gods; Myths; Ritual, Magic and Prayer; Dream Symbols; Mandalas and Yantras; Mazes and Labyrinths; Numbers and Sounds; Colors; Animals; Dragons and Serpents; Hybred Creatures; Trees; Flowers and Plants; the Elements; the Sun, Moon, and Stars; Good and Evil; Gods and Goddesses; Witches, Priests and Wizards; the Tarot; Astrology; Chakras; the I Ching; and more.
There is also an excellent index, glossary, and suggested further reading list. All in all a wealth of information, both written and visual well worth buying.

Great introduction
6. September 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
I've been really interested in symbols and this book gives a good overview of a wide variety - it cuts across all sorts of religions and categorizes symbols into chapters that make comparison easy. I particularly like the chapter on the Natural World where elements such as trees are discussed across many cultures. Really neat. I have the 1993 edition and the pictures are terrific. I say that this is an intro to symbols because I'm sure a whole chapter or book could be written on something like sun, moon and stars which in this book is given two pages. Great overview though. I really like how comprehensive it is in terms of breadth.

Pages in 2003 edition are way too small
13. April 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
From what I can see, the content is the same as the 1994 edition, however, the pages are so small that many illustrations are printed over onto 2 pages. The colors are better in the 1994 edition also.
Buy the 1994 edition, it is beautifully illustrated, with descriptions are complete, without boring you too much information.
