LoginThe Body: An Encyclopedia of Archetypal Symbolism
Description:
This book draws together a diverse array of material on "how the body is a carrier of deep psychological insights and sacred meanings." George R.

The book is organized into twelve chapters devoted to body parts including bones, skin, head and hair, sex organs, foot and leg. Each of the color plates is accompanied by a four-page unit containing a cultural context commentary, an archetypal commentary, and a bibliography.
