In art, literature, film and life, even the littlest image or reference can open a world of interpretation. This thick encyclopedia, with contributions from scholars in various disciplines, is an excellent guide to the major and more esoteric origins of seemingly everything — from “abracadabra” to “Zodiac.”
Unfortunately, no illustrations inside, just text.

Now this is neat since I can use this whenever I’m trying to get some ideas for my little stories and screen writes.

Send me a line if you buy it, I’d like to hear another review before ordering it.

Well, I have saved it on my wishlist on Amazon since I don’t have the capital at the moment.

Aaaaah…what good is a dictionary of symbols without ‘symbols’? Gotta have pics. The best book is Barbara G Walker’s “Woman’s Dictionary of Symbols & Sacred Objects” – even though she is rabidly anti male and anti Christian! Next best is Carl G Liungman’s “Dictionary of Symbols” though he has an elaborate ‘group’ system that is confusing. But he also has a web site to make you more confused! I make symbolic jewelry so I use these 2 sources a lot – at least I did until Wiki
