The
Dandelion Books Logo
|

Dan-de-lion—"Daniel
the Lion":In the Bible, Daniel was a prophet of Israel.
He saw visions and dreamed dreams. It is said that a member
of the Tribe of Dan will be the harbinger of a Golden Age.
In the Dandelion Books logo, the stem of the dandelion is
a "lamed," the tallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet. "Lamed"
stands for Learning, Light, Love, Laughter and En-Lightenment:
the characteristics of a Golden Age. The ruby-colored 12-pointed
star on the Dan-de-lion's breast, is his heart. Dandelion
is lion-hearted, embracing all people equally, with love
and compassion. The 12- pointed star, a mandala, has its
own mystic symbolism. The ruby star as depicted in the logo
is an exact replica of the planet Saturn as photographed
by astronomers. (This was discovered after the logo was
designed.) The ruby gemstone itself symbolizes freedom,
charity, dignity and divine power. "The price of wisdom
is above rubies," says Job in the Bible. The lion in the
center of the dandelion flower has eyes that are meditative;
they are both awake and asleep and they follow the viewer.
Dandelions grow everywhere in abundance. Known for their
sturdiness, they are not easily trampled on or uprooted.
Dandelions are democratic and egalitarian. They choose their
soil and location without prejudice. Dandelion stems, roots,
flowers and seeds are known for their medicinal properties.
When dandelions transform from flowers to puffballs, only
the slightest breeze is necessary to send these seed-wings
flying to new locations. Wherever they land, they find what
they need to thrive. In the spring, a field of dandelions
is a sight to behold.
