This book takes a close look at what lies behind the many ancient Egyptian figures and gods, with their strange animal heads and fantastic crowns.
The author sees them as expressive symbols for psychological principles, archetypes, functions and structures of man's own complex being.
The images are "all symbols for those yet unknown parts of ourselves we must meet and become acquainted with on the way to total self-awareness?.all these symbols and images are always ourselves or parts of ourselves."
