Many glyphs have retained their meanings over millennia whereas some have modern meanings vastly different from the original connotation. This study, with more than 300 unique woodcuts, drawings, calligraphy, and photographs, examines ancient and enduring glyphs in detail, revealing how symbols link the cosmic with the terrestrial and allow us to infuse the mundane with the numinous.
