100 meditative patterns and symbols to color, inspired by ancient traditions
"Symbols are the imaginative signposts of life." -- Margot AsquithAncient symbols share wisdom, tell stories, decorate, protect, and inspire. We are fascinated by them and drawn to them--and now we can color them. Whether representing messages about daily life, evoking an emotion, or even conjuring up something magical, the images in this book beckon to any would-be artist. They are inspired from actual metal works, textiles, drawings, historical records and evidence left behind from cultures past. Many of the ancient designs actually served as meditative tools, so the act of coloring in these symbols may offer a double dose of calm as the act of coloring invites us to be present in the moment.

From the Author There are so many different ways cultures and histories are described through art and symbols. Some designs are familiar and some that will be new to the reader/colorist. My intention is to keep the colorist/reader curious in the world around us and learn a little something new along the way. I feel that when you spend time with something new, understanding it in a new way, the world can be more accessible to the reader/colorist. May each page bring you many moments of centered connection, time to rejuvenate, all while traveling around the world through these symbol- filled pages one color at a time.
From the Back Cover Coloring is relaxing, stress-relieving, and creative. Simply picking up colored pencils and markers is stimulating in unexpected ways. Coloring ancient symbols is an easy way to gently move to a different time, a different place, a different world.Each of the hand-drawn designs in this book was inspired by ancient worlds, with special emphasis on relaxation and peaceful or empowering meanings. Whether you choose a Celtic knot, a Buddhist mandala, or a Yin Yang symbol, each will bring the coloring artist to a creative place of calm and enchantment. You can even use the included symbols guide to help you explore the meaning behind each image.Whether you are new to coloring or you are seasoned artist, the ancient symbols in these pages welcome you to glimpse their worlds and bring them to life one color at a time.

Beautiful Hand-drawn Coloring Book with Celtic Knots, Mandalas and other Ancient Symbols By iiiireader [[VIDEOID:1b7e80f6a35feb22dc8f1ce85e560af2]]This is my second coloring book by Cher Kaufmann and I will certainly be back for future books. The smaller format book has many, many designs. While a lot of coloring books are created from computer generated artwork (and I enjoy those, too), this book has 100 hand-drawn designs from the beginning to the end. The designs include many Celtic knots, mandalas, and other sacred symbols based on ancient cultures and traditions.In addition to the designs, the artist has included information about the history of some symbols. She has also provided an Ancient Alchemy Symbols guide to explain a number of the symbols that she uses in the coloring book. Reading this information has certainly enhanced my appreciation of the artwork and what the artist is trying to convey with each drawing.The pages are white and are a good weight. The pages micro-perforated for easy removal. This is especially nice as the book is so large, I am sure to want to remove each page for coloring. The designs are printed on one side with the back of each page left bland.All of my markers bleed easily through these pages. I have been able to use various gel pens (including Fiskars) with no leak-through. My suggestion is to test your type of marker/pen and if it leaks through, put a piece of thicker paper or chipboard under the page you are working on to keep the following page from getting ink on it. Or you can simply and easily remove the page from the book (as I will) and not have to worry about it at all.

Her first book, "The Artful Mandala Coloring Book" has a ton of detailed and fun images to color. I wondered how she was going to top her first book when I saw a second book was released - I was not disappointed! As a matter of fact the images in "The Ancient Alchemy Coloring Book" have a multitude of variety to choose from! The hand-drawn artwork is beautiful and enticing in every way. You will not be at a lost in finding the right image for your coloring mood. Some are very detailed and intricate for a longer coloring session and others are open and broad so you can let your own creativity take over. I was impressed to find that there is a selection of both masculine and feminine drawings - and that works for me! I really like how there is an index that puts a name to the symbols in the book - it was neat to see what Hakuna Matata looks like. The layout of the book is another HUGE plus! The 8"x8" size of the book is perfect to take anywhere to color. Each page is perforated and one sided so I can easily just remove it and manipulate the page the way I like. Then if I feel I've created a masterpiece it's ready to be framed - ha! Not a bad idea. I like working with colored pencils and gel pens and both mediums work great with the paper stock. It's going to be a while before I finish both her books - money well spent!
