Books of magic, ancient monuments, ritual tools and religious art are full of symbols, but it can often be difficult to work out exactly what they mean if you don't already know.
The Signs and Symbols Bible
I was pleased to find the book includes Ogham, as I recently won a set of Ogham staves in a raffle, but until now didn't have anything explaining what the early Irish alphabet meant. Obviously any book with such a wide scope as this can't go into great depth in any single area, but it is a good starting point.
Each symbol is clearly represented and easy to find, so it is an ideal reference book, but the Signs and Symbols Bible is also interesting just to dip into to find out more how spiritual and magical ideas are communicated around the world.
