The unvarying essential meanings of around 1,000 symbols and symbolic themes commonly found in the art, literature and thought of all cultures through the ages are clarified.
Symbolism is as old as the human ability to link ideas and beliefs with objects and events in the world.
This dictionary collects information about hundreds of symbols and their meanings from a wide variety of sources in an encyclopedic format. In addition, many of the entries (such as the cross, dragons, numbers, snakes, trees, water, and the zodiac) can be read as standalone essays.
