The Elements, The Body, Trees, Flowers, Food and lots more , High
quality gloss pages throughout. This book was written for lovers
of wisdom, both ancient and modern. We hope to present wisdom and
knowledge within its many forms using symbolism and metaphors.
Everything,
from the colour of the clothes we wear, to how we greet our friends,
to how we bury our dead is directly affected by the significance
attached to things around us. Often we are unaware of the meaning,
significance, or even the presence of much of this symbolism.
Following the
successful Pocket Guide to Positive Symbolism, Positive Symbolism
in Everyday Life, a new book published by Anjian Australia,
uncovers the fascinating world of the hidden symbolism of everyday
objects.
Travelling
around the world, through time and across cultures, religions and
philosophies, Positive Symbolism in Everyday Life explores the fascinating
symbolism of deities, animals, life and beyond, the celestial realm,
the human body, trees, flowers, food, metals, numbers, shapes, colours
and music.
