Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS)The Book of Symbols. Reflections on Archetypal Images

The book has a picture and the relevant details so we’ll set out and a great book to delve into when ever you want too fasinating, and spell binding. Love it

Absolutely fantastic book, my partner loves, super sturdy and easy to read, worth the price

This is a book you read a bit at a time. The lay out is great and the pictures are good. Find new thing ever time i read it.

This book is amazing. I bought for husband who has not put it down. It’s very well written and is so insightful. The book itself is beautiful and has sections carved into the pages to form tabs for quick access to the categories. It also has stunning hanging ribbon page markers for each section all different colours. The pages are filled with beautiful pictures to accompany and support the text and also has many analysis of art relating to the symbols too. The spine is strong and the book is clearly made so well. The cover has a slight Deboss and makes a nice texture. I don’t know how this book is at this price. If this is something that interests you It’s a steal.

Really helpful and comprehensive

It's a beautiful book and so well put together with amazing imagery as well.I will say though that as of the date I brought it, there's only one orange ribbon to bookmark with. So the current image is falsely advertising the 5 coloured ribbons and should be updated asap so other's know exactly what they're buying.

Wow, what an amazing book. The publishers succeed fully in collecting archetypal images, some ancient and some surprisingly modern, and guiding the reader on to further research through reference, poetry and art.Some reviewers have criticized the small pictures and "insufficient" writing, but if the publishers had given us all the detail available the book would be so heavy you would have needed a trolley to carry it around and weight-lifter's arms just to open it. Plus which this is a book about symbols, which resonate on an unconscious level, so excess writing is not necessary.A book to keep on your bedside table and randomly flick through before sleep, or to read from page one to the end. Can't recommend highly enough.

Personally I am fascinated by and love investigating any literature I can get my hands on about symbols. Symbolism and semiotics.You don’t have to READ this book though- it can flicked through to randomly select a symbol.It’s a coffee table book in my house and everyone picks it up. It’s detailed enough to be of substance but not too detailed for those who aren’t particularly interested in symbols to lose interest. Especially because each symbol is a section by its self.
