The Book of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Images published by Taschen

The Book of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Images, published by Taschen, is a visually rich and scholarly exploration of symbols and their profound meanings throughout human history. Compiled by a team of art historians, psychologists, and scholars, the book delves into the archetypal significance of a wide range of symbols, from animals and plants to abstract shapes and mythological figures. Each entry is accompanied by detailed reflections, drawing on diverse cultural, spiritual, and psychological interpretations, with a particular emphasis on Jungian analysis. Lavishly illustrated, the book provides a deep and meditative look at how symbols shape our collective unconscious and connect us to universal human experiences.
