The Kybalion
Corpus Hermeticism
The Zend Avesta
Pali Canon
Emerald Tablets of Thoth

Does anyone know any know of some high grade works on symbolism?

The Mysteries of Demeter by Jennifer Reif which is all about the Elusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece

Two of the three author's are R. Gordon Wasson and Albert Hoffman, so you can guess the angle lol

Thanks for the link Fang, I find myself very interested in the Elusinian Mysteries

On the topic of symbolism, I always enjoyed reading Anthropological theory on the topic of symbols when I was in school. Names that pop into mind are Clifford Geertz, Victor Turner and Mary Douglas. Not sure if that's the sort of works on symbolism you wanted tho
