The Migration of Symbols: Their Eternal Relations to Beliefs and Customs
Description
The author deals comprehensively with the eternal symbols of the Swastika, the Spiral, the Ear, and Tree Symbols. The book begins by showing the connection of certain symbols with the Seine and the Nile, and contrasts the "Doctrine of Cardinal Points" and its relation to the Doctrine of Mummification. Next an explanation is given to the problems of animals etc, placed in heraldic opposition, and we are led to the flying disc symbol of ancient Egypt. The work sheds much light on the theory of the diffusion of culture from Egypt.
