Symbols usually represent objects and give clues to abstract or supernatural events and the opinions or concepts of historical cultures. They are products of collective thinking and are the shortest way to describe something.
In the opinion of Carl Gustav Jung, symbols are not a sign of the ordinary; they are images of an invisible spirit and have a meaning far beyond themselves. When words are inadequate symbols provide their own language of communication. Although symbols are perceivable, sometimes their true meaning is not visible.
The sacred art of symbols reflects the opinion of spiritual religions by associating them with icons, talismans, amulets, charms, idols, figures, etc. Divine grace is imparted to them and blessed, so showing respect or reverence to the image or icon is the same as addressing it directly to their God.
Today, even in the modern world, we are surrounded by symbols whose beliefs and traditions go back thousands of years. They have succeeded in their most important function of guarding and protecting their secrets and confidential information.
These ancient teachings and beliefs have reached us today thanks to these symbols. They have survived in opposition to time, space, and cultural differences, and now these symbols open the door to a very different world. They express the unseen, by using icons of the contemporary world to illuminate the spiritual forces that surround human life and with it the parallelism between the visible with the unseen worlds, as natural events and physical things are inevitably symbolized in the unseen world.
To understand these symbols we must intuitively synthesize the information and open our minds to very different knowledge and perceptions.
