Mysticism and Symbolism is a book written by Evelyn Underhill, a renowned British author and mystic. Published in 1915, the book explores the relationship between mysticism and symbolism, two interconnected concepts that have played a significant role in the history of religion and spirituality.Through a series of essays, Underhill delves into the nature of mysticism and its various manifestations across different cultures and religions. She examines the role of symbolism in mysticism, arguing that symbols are essential tools for communicating spiritual truths that are often beyond the realm of language and rational thought.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the symbolism of light and darkness, the use of symbols in Christian mysticism, and the relationship between mysticism and art. Underhill draws on a diverse range of sources, from the works of medieval mystics to the poetry of William Blake, to illustrate her points.Overall, Mysticism and Symbolism is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of two fundamental aspects of human spirituality. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of mysticism, the role of symbolism in religion, or the intersection of spirituality and art.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Mysticism, by Evelyn Underhill.
