The Power of Symbolism - Illustrated

I've included here some of the symbolic images I had lying around in electronic
form. It's probably no coincidence that I had these lying around and not
others. Sometime I scanned them in to preserve them in a way and/or to
share them with friends. I started working an essay around them illustrating
my small
theory of symbolism, but haven't finished it basically because it was
becoming a fairly intimate piece. It was one thing to illustrate a point
but altogether another and heavier thing to be laying my very soul on the
line. It turns out that of the symbols here, carry meanings for me that
run very deeply indeed.
The first three are aquarells of mine dating back some years. They're
not especially good, but they mean a lot to me, an awful lot in a couple
of cases. The rest are the works of others, and have their place in my
spirit as well.
It will be interesting to look in a half years time perhaps to see how
many visitors this page has had, and to wonder what they thought of these
images. It's hard to imagine that they could guess just how dear they are
to me, and why. But that story is one that is fairly intimately connected
with the fundamentals of symbolism, and I'll leave to another time, if
at all. I may add images here as and when they come to be available in
electronic form and/or acquire some deep level of meaning for me.
