The Labyrinth: A Spiritual Journey
Humans have always seen in the labyrinth a symbol of life’s deepest meanings. This book of images, quotes, stories, and folklore reveals the ancient meanings of the labyrinth, meanings that are still relevant today. At the center of the labyrinth, we may encounter a monster—or the Divine. Ultimately, the center is the Self, the true identity to which each of us is called.

The Labyrinth: A Spiritual Journey by Ellyn Sanna with Kenneith McIntosh is a slim, small format paperback published in 2012 by Anamchara Books. It does a remarkable job of outlining labyrinth history from its first uses in human imagination to modern applications. This book is most notable for its short quotations from a wide range of thinkers on the meaning and explorations made possible by labyrinth walking. Those quotations would be excellent resources for contemporary use.
Kenneth McIntosh is a writer, educator and spiritual mentor. As a child he became fascinated with the Celtic legends of his heritage and then as a young adult he experienced a profound spiritual conversion. Degrees in English and theology combined with travels in the Middle East and the Celtic lands of Ireland, Scotland and Wales inspire his writing.
He is best known for his book Water from an Ancient Well: Celtic Spirituality for Modern Life. In addition, he has written dozens of other books--mostly non-fiction. He lives in Flagstaff, Arizona with his wife, dog and two cats. In addition to writing he teaches Comparative Religions at a community college and serves as pastor for a Congregational church. His hobbies include hiking, investigating rock art and archaeological sites, labyrinth building and fixing vintage Volkswagens.
Ellyn Sanna is the author of more than thirty books. She is also the executive editor at Harding House Publishing Service, where she has helped to create hundreds of educational books for young adults. She and her family (along with assorted animals) make their home in upstate New York.

Good. Four views of a natural, classic shape
This is a great example of how to look at a symbol, and yourself.
I was very pleasantly surprised at the in depth examination the author gave each examination.
