It is of the greatest importance to rediscover a whole mythology, if not a theology, still concealed in the most ordinary, everyday life of contemporary man; it will depend upon himself whether he can work his way back to the source and rediscover the profound meanings of all these faded images and damaged myths. We have seen that myths decay and symbols become secularized but that they never disappear, even in the most positivist of civilizations. Symbols and myths come from such depths: they are part of parcel of the human being, and it is impossible that they should not be found again in any and every existential situation of man in the Cosmos.\"--from the Foreword.","brand":"A Search Book","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29023625052230,"sku":"2289071","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2289071.jpg?v=1571427044","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/images-and-symbols-studies-in-religious-symbolism","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
