The Book of Symbols (Taschen) [Esoteric Look-at-the-Book]

[@marykatie186]

Just the sort of thing that's neat to have on hand. Thank you for showing us!

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Exactly! One of the few reference books that can't be reliably replaced by a quick Google search. How many times have I seached for a symbolic or architypal meaning online only to be met with page after page of superficial filler results... Yes, this one's a keeper :)

[@callen607]

Looking at getting this for my boyfriend for his birthday. This video sold me, thank you!

[@Hard2Find]

I just started reading this for my dream interpretations

[@tsholofelo8135]

How u liking it so far

[@Eye_can_see_you]

Many thanks for the review/recommendation. My copy just arrived!

[@According2kai]

I got my copy a few days ago and... it is everything you described and sooo much more! Thank You D.

[@whelan0kkult141]

This book is amazing, thank you fot sharing. As an artist I am always thinking about the symbolism I put into some of my work. Its not always easy, but when I do it is often very rewarding.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Oh yes, this will definitely help 😄

[@cepolt]

Great channel! I however just realized that this entire time I've imagined you looking like the actor who plays" The Blue Raja" in the movie Mystery Men.

[@SlowPursuit]

You are right that is excellent at that price point. Good find - added to my wish list. &thanks for finding a book I can afford!

[@chamon369]

Thank you for this share! Happy New Year. Also just purchased this book!!🙏

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Happy New year! I hope you enjoy the new acquisition! 😁

[@craigallen1237]

I also had this book bought for me from my Mum for Christmas... wierd.

[@lihtan]

I managed to find a used copy of this at a thrift store more than a year ago. As soon as I grabbed it off the shelf, I knew I needed to buy it. The copy I have has multiple colored ribbons attached to the spine for use as bookmarks. It seems to be well put together for research use.

[@jsinmcc92]

I’ve been in the search for just such a thing thanks a lot

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Ah! So glad you like it, @Jason! Enjoy!

[@hectorrobertocontrerasmiranda]

I had dismissed this based from reviews on Amazon but once again I ha to reconsider it

[@TheJudgeandtheJury]

I’ve been meaning to read this from my shelf for a while now.

[@Jairus_365]

Hi my. Jairus I was wondering if I could talk to you an possibly get some advice

@@Jairus_365 Sorry I didn’t understand your question do you mind re wording it?

[@saulorocha3755]

To get a deeper understanding of the meaning of symbols is extremely important to read semiotics books, specially Umberto Eco ones. Then and only you realize how the use and interpretation of symbols is so tricky, it always involves conventions and context.

[@Misteraitch1967]

One loves it when one already has the tome you are reviewing. or at least ones wallet does.

[@MsGnor]

Glorious! 🤩

[@sillywilly123]

You showcased this book excellent, I would be happy if this was my book.

[@celestialarkon5634]

Oh my that book is wondrous! Judging the contents (shown in this video) indicating how the author meticulously and conscientiously made the book; it truly is a treasure trove, for anyone interested in decoding symbolism, as stated in this video.

[@gracefulservice]

Had me worried you wasn't gonna drop a video; Now I can whoo-sah 🙏🏽.

[@IamHeather23]

I have Taschen’s book of tarot. It’s beautiful. I’ve been eyeing their astrology book too. You might want to check them out if you haven’t already. Love your channel

[@claramartin613]

I brought the book a year ago, excellent !!

[@martinwilliams9866]

I would recommend "An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Traditional Symbols", by J.C. Cooper, which also has a multi-traditional approach. "The Penguin Dictionary of Symbols" by Jean Chevalier & Alain Gheerbrant, also "The Wordsworth Dictionary of Symbolism" is surprising good too.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Great suggestions! Thank you for taking the time to share! 🙏

[@Acidtriptamo]

One of my favorite Symbology Books

[@poetic444]

What a beautiful book.

[@ambrosemorningstar2025]

Its official this year I will be a hermit and probably just go on a book crunch lmao

[@TempestGarden]

This looks like a really nice book and I decided to check it out on Amazon. Sifting through some of the reviews there, it seems that there are a number of people that weren’t really happy with the content of the book. Many of them said in their reviews that despite it being a nice looking book, content wise it wasn’t very informative about each of the symbols.

[@gemineyethenine7480]

The Secret Life of Symbols commercial ad played before this video started. I like Jordan Maxwell

[@DanielMartins-og2gj]

1 of my Favorite books!!

[@Project5am]

Great book had it for years was my poor man version of the red book which I later got. I used the book as a tarot card when I come across a reoccurring symbol on my travels

Taschen books seem to be gorgeous as a general rule. I have one titled A Garden Eden and it's full of lovely botanical art.

[@hectorrobertocontrerasmiranda]

As the owner of 14 Taschen titles, 2 of them posterbooks that are almost my age and other 2 that I got in both available sizes I can assure you that they are

[@norocomgt]

For a couple of years, I’ve been studying the patterns in life before something big is revealed to me. Apparently, there is a smaller sequence of symbols embedded in the patterns that can be understood - if you know the meanings of the individual symbols. Thank you for this review!

[@Johan-ke8sv]

Would you mind explaining this a bit further and / or referring any literature or videos you've used to study these topics? I feel myself on this personal quest and would love some direction! Very intrigued! Thank you!

[@norocomgt]

@@Johan-ke8sv Typically, I have a chemicalization (almost any book from Catherine Ponder describes this phenomenon). But I bought the “Book of Symbols” above as well as some dream interpretation books and a few “spiritual meaning of _____” dictionaries. Most of this stuff is available for free on the web. I was interested in trying to see if everyone who saw a cardinal flying then dreamed about a snake eating its tail and then suddenly heard from a long lost friend went on to win the lottery…or got a CEO job…or wrote a bestselling book. I’ve gotten sidetracked since I made the comment above, but I believe I’ll soon have more info on what particular combinations of signs/symbols/signals mean.
