For another perspective on symbolism, conciousness and ritual I'd also highly recommend the works of Joseph Campbell such as "Hero of a thousand faces" or "Power of Myth". I'd known about his work for a while (How could any Star Wars fan not be??) but only recently picked up Hero.
In short order Campbell has reached the heights of me personal hero list.
What can I say? He was the man who said "Follow your Bliss!" What better advice could anyone receive?
