Symbology: Decoding Symbols through History is the foundation for many books, classes, and seminars by symbologist Michelle Snyder on the subject of symbols, myths, and folklore. Within the context of comprehensive historic time-lines, Michelle compares images from prehistory to those used in contemporary societies and decodes their meaning. Discovering their origins reveals much about our past that is not evident in more conventional writings. Featuring translations of ice age language by Dr. Robert Duncan-Enzmann, Michelle connects contemporary, esoteric, and occult symbols to lost civilizations of millennia ago. Oral tradition has left us rich sources of history, preserved as folklore, myths, and legends, and Snyder uses the symbols of yesteryear to find treasures in the stories of our misty past and bring them to light, adding much to our knowledge of the past while enlightening us about our present. Complete with index, footnotes, bibliography, charts, and illustrations, this academic work contains the resources and methods used by The Symbologist to uncover secrets of prehistory and the meanings of its mysterious images, and the purpose of megalithic structures still visible today around the globe. Our vision for the future is influenced by our perception of today, and our perception of today is affected by our understanding of yesterday. Symbols tell us much that has been lost or destroyed through time, and reveal intelligent, resourceful ancestors who survived ice ages and left us a legacy of knowledge in oral tradition and symbols. Through these enigmatic images we can learn about our past to build a better future.
