This book covers the history of our need to communicate and connect through symbols, from cave paintings to graffiti. It explores the common thread that runs through them all, connecting the proverbial (and literal) dots. The detailed information on the history of the symbols is paramount to understanding the power behind the sigils you will create. The section entitled "Getting over getting it wrong" frees you up to explore and create your own symbol library to further empower your sacred work. I have long told myself that I "can't" draw but Laura teaches all of us that we CAN draw and that it's a creative outlet that will serve us well if we are brave enough to simply TRY. This is a book that I know I will refer to time and time again. If you are considering adding a copy to your own library, I can assure you it is well worth the investment.
