Symbols of Water - exploring the Visual Representation

Summary/Abstract: Water is essential to our very existence not only from a purely physical and functional perspective, but also from a cultural and spiritual point of view. Established as a universal cosmogonical energy in all primitive cultures, this natural element has kept its magical aura up to present times and people are still cultivating its magic in daily rituals we are often no longer aware of. My article aims to explore aspects relating to various religious views and rituals descending from these, as well as popular culture, represented mostly by fairy tales and popular short stories. Our present existence, although significantly more developed and sophisticated, still holds on to the fantastic characteristics of water as a matter and realm of mysterious and magical powers.
