A SYMBOL is a word, phrase, image, icon or some other thing that represents something else by association, resemblance, or convention. Symbols are used to represent complex esoteric relationships, ethereal concepts or something invisible and intangible.

SYMBOLISM is the practice of representing things by means of symbols or of attributing symbolic meanings or significance to objects, events, or relationships.

SYMBOLOGY is the study or interpretation of symbols or symbolism. Now you can express and represent yourself through the hidden meanings of ancient and modern subconscious symbols. The subconscious mind operates beneath or beyond consciousness. Similarly, symbols hold meaning from generation to generations, speaking volumes in just quick visual images.
