Seeing Through Symbols

Symbols are a means of representing what is higher by means of something lower and simpler. They come alive through human consciousness and understanding, through imbuing them with meaning and power.

This volume is part of the Chrysalis Reader series, which explores themes of spiritual development and growth through poetry, essays, short fiction, and artwork.
