Features: The cross was merely a symbol in the past, but now it is inseparable from Christianity and has even become a form of art in some regions. The bull represents death, evil, and misfortune in Europe, while in Native American cultures, it symbolizes creation and civilization. What exactly causes these differences? Any traditional symbol embodies a transcendent power that dominates. Cultures vary, and interpretations of the power behind symbolic signs differ greatly across generations and times. The Symbolic Journey not only showcases a family of symbols but also reveals how they convey hidden and profound meanings. Symbols cater to people's emotional and spiritual needs, and their power can never be matched by rational language.
