The Mystic Spiral – Journey of the Soul

The spiral as a universal cosmic symbol.

In this original and engrossing book, Jill Purce traces the significance of one man’s central symbols from the double spirals of Stone Age art and the interlocking spirals of the Chinese Yin – Yang symbol to the whorls of Celtic crosses, Maori tattoos and the Islamic Arabesque. Many of the superb images here were intended as objects of contemplation; for the spiral is a cosmic symbol.
