INTRODUCTION

The vast worlds of symbols are profound and intricate, even before life began these archetypes existed in some

form or the other. Right from the beginning when intelligent life sprouted out, men always sought

something higher than his existence in the form of art and religion giving shape to his faith as a sentient being. From Palaeolithic caves to the modern civilization these

symbols became a part of his daily life unconsciously.

Even the very things we invented to communicate from words to numbers are an

example of how symbols carved out our lives. But these words and numbers are just a

conscious representation of what is abstract, simplified for the mundane world to use and

flourish. And if one is patient enough to descend from these mundane symbols into the

realm of hidden, we can discover a subtle reality more powerful than the substantial.

The spiritual, occult and more over the psychological representation of these symbols are used even today in our modern society as a part of art or even sometimes with a higher meaning to it. Something that is inexpressive can

be expressive through these symbols, and that is the purpose it serves. Today the field of religion and art use these symbols extensively as a part of their culture and

beliefs.

The famous Swiss Psychologist Carl Gustave Jung once stated,” these symbols are deep expressions of some power hidden in our unconscious which cannot be expressed with

words, and some are even universal in nature.”

Because of its intricacy and secrecy, people are tending to get attracted to it more unconsciously rather

consciously. The reason behind this is not just a factor of curiosity; in fact the truth is that all these symbols exist within us as an abstract, diluted with our million

thoughts and memories.

Here this book illustrates and sight examples of symbolism used in certain modern art forms and religious culture; from music videos to films to

religious texts, this book discuss in detail of how these artists and scholars tried to communicate with viewers through their medium in the form of visuals and words.
