Ami Ronnberg takes us on a tour of The Book of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Imagery December 10, 2010

Taschen Books and San Francisco ARAS present Ami Ronnberg, National Curator of ARAS (Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism) and Editor-in-Chief of The Book of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Images.
Ami Ronnberg takes us on a tour of the beautiful new volume, The Book of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Imagery. As a handbook of visual experience, The Book of Symbols combines some 800 full color images from throughout the world, representing all cultures and eras, with incisive texts revealing the myriad deeper meanings of the symbols. Authored by writers from psychology, religion, art, literature and comparative myth, the essays flow into each other in ways that mirror the psyche's unexpected convergences. The Book of Symbols illuminates how to move from the visual to the symbolic in art, religion, life or dreams to a direct experience of psychological resonance. Following on the success of Carl Jung's Red Book, The Book of Symbols provides a rich source of images to inspire personal psychological journeys and explorations.
