I have to be honest in that I didn't actually "read" this book. I have it on my shelf as more of an art and illustration reference book. I'm interested in motifs in art and and symbols in different spiritual practices, which is why I got this. It's interesting, not life-changing, and I'm keeping it around.

A very thoughtful, thought-provoking book of self discovery.
