Description
Filled with advice and anecdotes on how to build an altar, walk a labyrinth, burn a bundle of sage, scatter a sand painting, take a ritual bath, and fold and hang a thousand cranes, as well as do lots of other rituals, such as tea ceremonies, "Sacred Rituals" provides useful tools for connecting with our inner selves, each other and the sacred. This beautifully illustrated book presents 14 rituals from different traditions and faiths - both familiar and obscure - and describes them in simple, rich prose and beautiful full-colour illustrations. "Sacred Rituals" offers plenty of inspiration for New Age readers, spirituality seekers, students of Zen, Shinto, Native American traditions and other traditional religious readers.
