Description: Taking us on a journey through the history of sacred art and architecture Sacred Sites explores the myriads of ways in which we imbue our environments with profound and enduring meaning. From our early designation of nature and the body as temple to our futuristic embrace of imaginary realms we travel the vast and mystical landscapes of myth religion and imagination. Through gathering we ignite our spaces with spirit we circle the bonfire bow down at the forest altar give praise at the temple to our chosen divinities. Through pilgrimage we carve indelible pathways making our meditative way across continents generations of footsteps treading again and again upon sacred grounds. And through our creative offerings to spirit - we envision new worlds wildly imaginative odes to what we deem as holy; golden temples hewn of rock enormous spirals sculpted from sand and soil silent sanctuaries hidden among wooded groves. We paint the ancient cave walls carve petroglyphs to mark the way place roses in veneration at the candlelit shrine. Slowly stone - by - stone we build monuments to our gods a cosmic geometry held within our sacred architecture of worship. These hidden patterns can be found in the mysterious towering pyramids found across the globe and throughout an astounding diversity of cultures in the marble sanctuaries built to house the Greek and Roman goddesses and in the windblown mountain monasteries of ancient Asia and the indigenous cliff - dwellings of the American Southwest. Nature art beauty these are the common elements found both within the places made sacred by our ancestors and in the multitude of environments where we strive to connect to source and to ourselves. Tracing a hallowed route from rugged stone temples to transcendent works of modern architecture the fifth volume in The Library of Esoterica celebrates the collective history of spaces made sacrosanct through human worship.
