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 interpret.

The Language of Symbols 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 spirituality, anthropology and history, as well as his practical experience of dream workshops and of the symbols used in meditation.

The Language of Symbols is compelling guide to the fascinating universe of images and the potent meanings they express
