RELIGIOUS, ESOTERIC, METAPHYSICAL AND MYSTICAL SYMBOLISM

Religious symbolism is the use of symbols, including archetypes, acts, artwork, events, or natural phenomena, by a wash. Religions view religious texts, rituals, and works of art as symbols of compelling ideas or ideals. The symbols helps create a resonant mythos that expresses the moral values of the society, the teachings of the religion, creates a sense of solidarity between religious adherents, or functions as a way to bring an adherent closer to God.

The study of religious symbols is either universalist, as a component of comparative religion and mythology, or in localized scope, within the confines of a religion's limits and boundaries.
