About this ebook
Animal Symbolism explores the widespread use of animals as symbols in art, religion, and culture.
It investigates how these symbols originated, evolved, and continue to shape our understanding of the world.
For example, the dove's association with peace and the lion's representation of courage are not arbitrary; they are rooted in historical and cultural contexts.
The book reveals how understanding animal symbolism provides insights into human thought, belief, and artistic expression.
