ReviewsIt is still possible, even now, for publishers to do something we have never seen before. The Book of Symbols is a project of mind-blowing ambition and reach, and a book with an almost old-fashioned educational appeal. Bright, optimistic, bountiful and brainy, it makes you reel with a sense of wonder at the complexity of the human mind and soul... You can't ask for more than that., Bright, optimistic, bountiful and brainy, it makes you reel with a sense of wonder at the complexity of the human mind and soul... You can't ask for more than that., Yes, the 807 page book is a doorstop. But it is also a stairway to heaven. The amazing gift is not its weight or its cover, but what lies between: a tangible (r)evolution in consciousness., ...not just an interesting ecclesiastical read but a fascinating look at history through the eyes of ancient man.

  • Filled with beautiful visuals and information

    This book is a great gift to anyone who is interested in learning new things. It has so much information along with visuals to compliment the pages. I originally bought this book for a friend back in 2014 as a gift, and wished I'd kept it for myself. Finally decided to get my own copy and am in love. I read it before bed.

  • Polymathic Phenomenology

    This piece of history can assist and pedantically empower those of a common mind, to those of religion, archaeology and beyond. Ontologically written... it brings a better psychological understanding to the mindset of the past and present primal preparedness and eschatological beliefs.-Dane Dino Butler
