This fascinating guide to the history and mythology of woman-related symbols features: Unique organization by shape of symbol or type of sacred object 21 different sections including Round and Oval Motifs, Sacred Objects, Secular-Sacred Objects, Rituals, Deities' Signs, Supernaturals, Body Parts, Nature, Birds, Plants, Minerals, Stones and Shells, and more Introductory essays for each section 753 entries and 636 illustrations Alphabetical index for easy reference Three-Rayed Sun The sun suspended in heaven by three powers, perhaps the Triple Goddess who gave birth to it (see Three-Way Motifs). Corn Dolly An embodiment of the harvest to be set in the center of the harvest dance, or fed to the cattle to make them thrive year round' (see Secular-Sacred Objects). Tongue In Asia, the extended tongue was a sign of life-force as the tongue between the lips imitated the sacred lingam-yoni: male within female genital. Sticking out the tongue is still a polite sign of greeting in northern India and Tibet (see Body Parts). Cosmic Egg In ancient times the primeval universe-or the Great Mother-took the form of an egg. It carried all numbers and letters within an ellipse, to show that everything is contained within one form at the beginning (see Round and Oval Motifs)., This fascinating guide to the history and mythology of woman-related symbols features: Unique organization by shape of symbol or type of sacred object 21 different sections including Round and Oval Motifs, Sacred Objects, Secular-Sacred Objects, Rituals, Deities' Signs, Supernaturals, Body Parts, Nature, Birds, Plants, Minerals, Stones and Shells, and more Introductory essays for each section 753 entries and 636 illustrations Alphabetical index for easy reference Three-Rayed Sun The sun suspended in heaven by three powers, perhaps the Triple Goddess who gave birth to it (see Three-Way Motifs).

I don't know how to express with words how much the seller helped me with this product. First of all - the price was more than fair.Secondly - I told him I need the box to get to the address by Saturday (when the order was on Monday) and he checked and did everything for it to happen. The box arrived on time and my friend got her birthday present �� Thank you!

Symbols and Herstory
I have two copys of this book one copy upstairs and one copy downstairs. This dictionary is most useful to writers and scholars. I've found it to be personally helpfull in understanding then constructing common symbols for silversmithing. If you don't have a copy of this book shame on you. If you already own a copy, you might want to purchase another so you don't have to be running up and down the stairs all day to find the reference that you are either talking about or writing about.I have two copys of this book one copy upstairs and one copy downstairs.

Great insight to a world where women were mysterious and important to society.
It was an entertaining and refreshing look at a world that men have worked centuries to suppress. You'll find out the reason behind many beliefs we have today and the source of many common words.
