The Spirituality of Mazes and LabyrinthsIn this full-color, beautifully illustrated book, MacQueen uses myth, history, and personal experience to explore the spiritual meanings of mazes and labyrinths. Labyrinths have existed as a spiritual tool for thousands of years, and are found in countries all around the globe. In the last two decades, church leaders, lay people, and spiritual seekers have rediscovered and embraced the labyrinth. Mazes have their origin in much more recent history--from 15th century European recreational garden mazes--but are no less spiritually significant. Convinced that labyrinths and mazes have much to teach us, MacQueen invites readers on a sometimes mystical, sometimes mysterious journey of spiritual discovery. |
