All cultures have created symbols drawn from nature, geometry, and mythology that hold meaning, power, and magic. Learn their secret language and you\u2019ll learn to promote a loving relationship with the Celtic knot, wear an Egyptian scarab to enhance psychic protection, and let butterflies promote good health. The All-Seeing Eye, pentagram, bee, <\/span><\/span>labyrinth<\/span><\/span>, lotus, mandala, Buddhapada, Om, the Sator Square and the Unicursal Hexagram are all symbols of spiritual growth. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In \u201cSacred Symbol Magic,\u201d Sarah Bartlett gives practical ideas for using fifty symbols to empower and improve well-being. Collected from a multitude of spiritual traditions, cultures, and centuries, they are divided equally in five categories: blessing the home, self-empowerment, growth, joyful relating, and emotional healing. Each has a two-page spread which includes an illustration of the symbol; a short description of its meaning; how to incorporate its magic into your life; and ways of \u201charnessing the power of corresponding energies to amplify and set out the pathway to the ultimate goal or intention.\u201d Affirmations, meditations, rituals and activities often require candles, herbs, crystals and other objects to deepen the connection. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The importance of working with moon phases and keeping a journal are also covered. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a handy reference book for a collection of both common and some not-so-common symbols. There are nuggets of information and inspiration for everyone. For instance, I had never thought of a swan as a symbol, yet it was used in Greek and Hindu traditions \u2013 and in Roman mythology was sacred to Venus, the goddess of love.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
