Riassunto

Since the dawn of time, mankind has used symbols to express thoughts or feelings, and to preserve those truths believed to come from a higher sphere. Every culture, in every age, invests the objects, animals and plants around it with a multitude of different meanings.
This reference book brings together all the different symbols and symbolisms of the world into one beautifully concise work. It shows you what gold meant to the Incas, and what the umbrella signifies in India. It shows you the secrets of the Zodiac and the hidden power of Yin and Yang. You will learn why six is the number of perfection, and discover the mysteries of the Chinese hexagram.
