  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.

  This volume offers a pictorial compendium of symbols and symbol systems, and shows how an understanding of the messages conveyed by symbols may enrich our lives. The author draws upon psychology, Eastern and Western spirituality, anthropology, dreams and symbols used in meditation to provide an understanding of his subject. The book looks at the great symbol systems in detail - from I Ching to the zodiac - and shows how even those sceptical of the claims of astrology and fortune telling can use them creatively as aids to self-discovery. Dr David Fontana has also written Dreamlife: Understanding and Using Your Dreams and Elements of Meditation .
