Creating Sacred Space
Amidst the mayhem of modern life we often feel the need for a place or a space where we can be still, somewhere we can meditate, reflect, divine, honour the gods or celebrate the seasons.
When we follow an orthodox religion, we automatically have a special place in which to worship, whether this be a church, synagogue, temple or mosque. As followers of the Pagan path however, we do not have such luxuries, but what we do have is the freedom to create and build our own sacred space, where, when and how we wish.
Creating Sacred Circles, explores the reasons why and the practicalities of how, we might create, use and release a simple sacred circle.
