Large-scale axisymmetric and bisymmetric spiral (ASS and BSS) structures are found of magnetic fields in spiral galaxies by measuring the Faraday rotation of polarized radio emission. Dynamo theory is introduced to explain the field structures, and strong magnetogravitational interaction is suggested to occur between the BSS magnetic fields and spiral density waves. Up-to-date data about the rotation measures RM and redshifts z of QSOs and distant radio galaxies are given for discussing large-scale intergalactic magnetic fields.
