Barbara G. Walker�s book compiles sacred objects and symbols found throughout world cultures and defines them in terms of women�s spirituality. There are also many illustrations to accompany the comprehensive explanations. Women's Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects

I've dipped into it for art projects, tattoo design research, rituals... I think of this as a good foundation or standard when people ask for good books with long-term value.

I know this is an old post, but I have owned this important resource for a long time and agree with you!
It should be on every woman's reference bookshelf!
Well behaved women rarely make history.....

I turn to this one regularly for all sorts of research, it's one of my "staples" for both historical use and symbolism references.
