'Continuing his argument from an earlier work, Bayley attempts to revivify the original symbolic power of what became in time mere signs, emblems, and water-marks. He then turns this same purpose to fairy tales and myths with an emphasis on the Gnostic tradition of restoring "to mankind the lost knowledge of the true and supreme God."'
