Book excerpt: Dancing the Labyrinth is a hero's journey. It is a dual time novel that weaves a contemporary story of a young woman from a violent background with the history of Europe's most advanced civilization of the Bronze Age - the Minoans. CRESSIDA is a young woman running from her brutal past.Decision-making was never a strong suit, but after the unexpected deaths of her parents, Cressida follows the sirens call, gambling on the chance that Crete, renowned for vivid sunlight, magnificent landscapes and turquoise seas, could erase the stranglehold of bleakness. Her newfound freedom is short lived. Falling pregnant, her overwhelming fear is that she will pass on her father's violent DNA.Sheltering in a cave during a violent storm, Cressida unearths a trove of ancient Minoan paintings. Awakening from a panic attack, she finds is not alone. LYDIA, a Minoan artisan, reveals stories contained in the paintings and Cressida learns of PYTHIA, a Minoan Priestess, who established a women's community to safeguard their ancient worship from an encroaching religion ordained by men. Shaken from her stupor by one of Crete's many earth tremors, Cressida escapes from the cave, stumbling back into her world where ANGELA, a local archaeologist, finds her distraught and in shock. When Cressida decides to accept that her vision in the cave was not a psychotic episode, she shares her discovery with Angela, and shows her the photographs of the paintings. Together they try to decipher the images and piece together Pythia's story. As Cressida peels away layers of time, she discovers courage, honesty, and friendship. She is compelled to confront her own truth within the story she has woven. The stories of old are the stories of today, and through the telling, Cressida awakens to a deeper understanding of herself. Dancing the Labyrinth is a young woman's odyssey. It is a celebration of women's history, strength, friendship, and hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a scarcity of professional literature and research that focuses on women's spiritual development and experiences and how it may differ from that of men. For women, the spiritual is often inner focused, rather than transcendent; relational, rather than solitary; and interdependent, rather than autonomous. Using a relational approach, Dancing the Labyrinth integrates knowledge of women's psychological and spiritual development and the stories of a diverse group of women to examine how spirituality changes over the adult life course; the catalysts for said changes (e.g., the natural aging process or traumatic events); and feminist spirituality, which highlights the importance of relationships (to self, others, and God). While the authors focus on spirituality, they examine the experiences of women who express their spirituality within both traditional and non-traditional spiritual paths. The text also includes several chapters that highlight specific clinical interventions professionals can use to implement spirituality into their practice with women. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book serves as a helpful resource for mental health practitioners, pastoral counselors, spiritual directors, and lay audiences interested in better understanding of the nuances of women's spiritual development and experiences.

Book excerpt: Many people today do not know that they are already on the initiatory path. Everyday people may not be affiliated with a particular religion but nevertheless harbor deep spiritual longings. They know that a Divine Source exists outside of time and space, and they long to return there, "to go home" again. The tests and trials of daily life-and especially the adversities of the 2020s decade-are preparing people for the challenges of the Labyrinthine Road of Initiation. The initiation process is no longer limited to those who trained in the secret temples and mystery schools of the past; it is now emerging as a relevant living religion for spiritually-minded persons residing in the modern world. Initiation is linked to the basic structure of human life. It underpins everything we are and do. Initiation is an inherited destiny belonging to the human race as a whole. We start to waken to the reality of initiation when we begin to ask the essential questions: Is there more to my existence than day-to-day life? Is there an overarching design to my life? Do I have an unknown purpose? Is there a hidden meaning in my suffering? The questions themselves open the door to spiritual awakenings that ultimately help us to transcend our daily routines and to invite something sacred into our lives. This book will explain the stages of spiritual initiation and serve as a guide for the modern seeker.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A universal symbol of transformation, the labyrinth was created in ancient times to represent humankind’s search for the core of divinity. Unlike a maze, which may have a confusion of tracks leading in all directions, a labyrinth has a single, winding pathway that spirals inward to the center. In The Complete Guide to Labyrinths, renowned British psychic and folklorist Cassandra Eason explores the mystery of this sacred symbol and explains how to harness its power for personal transformation, protection, healing, and enlightenment. The book features instructions for creating indoor and outdoor labyrinths; rituals to nourish fertility, confront and resolve conflict, honor grief or loss, and celebrate new beginnings; and resources for locating labyrinths around the world. Filled with personal anecdotes and a detailed exploration of labyrinth history and mythology, this complete handbook is a deeply spiritual guide to the meditative, intuitive, and creative power of this age-old symbol.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shows how dance, the highest expression of spirituality in cultures and traditions all over the world, is being integrated into the lives of women today • The first book to explore women's spiritual expression--women's ways--through a study of dance • Investigates how dance came to be excluded from worship, and reveals how dance is once again being brought into spiritual practices • Includes resources for further instruction in sacred dance Today we primarily think of dance as a form of entertainment or as a way to exercise or socialize. There was a time, however, when dance was considered the way to commune with the divine, a part of life's journey, celebrating the seasons and rhythms of the year and the rhythms of our lives. Dance is a language that reunites the body, mind, and soul. While the role of women's sacred dance was most valued in goddess-worshipping cultures where women served as priestesses and healers, dance was once an integral part of religious ritual and ceremonial expression in cultures all over the world, including Judaism and Christianity. In this book the author investigates how dance came to be excluded from worship and reveals how dance is once again being integrated into spiritual practices. Sacred Woman, Sacred Dance is the first book to explore women's spiritual expression--women's ways--through a study of dance. It describes sacred circles, birth rituals, ecstatic dances, and dances of loss and grief (in groups and individually) that allow women to integrate the movements of faith, healing, and power into their daily life.

Book excerpt: A seminal work by an artist whose drawings in The New Yorker, LIFE, Harper's Bazaar, and many other publications influenced an entire generation of American artists and writers. Saul Steinberg’s The Labyrinth, first published in 1960 and long out of print, is more than a simple catalog or collection of drawings. These carefully arranged pages record a brilliant, constantly evolving imagination confronting modern life. Here is Steinberg, as he put it at the time, discovering and inventing a great variety of events: "Illusion, talks, music, women, cats, dogs, birds, the cube, the crocodile, the museum, Moscow and Samarkand (winter, 1956), other Eastern countries, America, motels, baseball, horse racing, bullfights, art, frozen music, words, geometry, heroes, harpies, etc.” This edition, featuring a new introduction by Nicholson Baker, an afterword by Harold Rosenberg, and new notes on the artwork, will allow readers to discover this unique and wondrous book all over again.

Book excerpt: A point-blank attempt on confusion itself. Marked by the dogged precision of one resolved to sort the universe with nothing more than a pen and a visceral hunger for understanding, this berserk dissection of the world stands alone - a sober yet dynamic testament both to what crystalline lucidity lines the unnervingly paradoxical, and what incontrovertible madness is tucked into the folds of the mundane. Concocted living on the back of a motorcycle following a familially, financially, psychologically shattering misadventure with psychedelics - the deserts, wetlands, mountains, and plains of the USA served as the backdrop and temple of its genesis; Dancing Through the Labyrinth sets a brand-new standard for literature unfettered by the shackles of institutional dogma.

Book excerpt: Cross the threshold into the world of the High Middle Ages and explore the illuminating wisdom, beauty and art of the Gothic cathedrals, stunning wonders of the medieval era for all to see today. From bejewelled stained glass windows to a pilgrimage “on the road” to Compostela, the wonders of Gothic architecture continue to inspire many worldwide. From the 12th century, the Gothic architectural style continued to spread throughout Europe. Highly-regarded medievalist Dr. Karen Ralls explores the legacy of this exquisite architectural period, whose artistic beauty and expert craftsmanship have served for centuries to inspire feelings of spiritual reverence and aesthetic wonder. She details the relationship between architecture, geometry, and music; explores the concept of the labyrinth; pilgrimage; Black Madonnas; astronomical calculations in the design and location of cathedrals; stone and wood carvings; gargoyles; the teachings of Pythagoras and the later Neo-Platonists, and more. For the general reader and specialist alike, Dr. Ralls guides the reader through the history, places, art, and symbolism of these unique "books in stone", providing a lively portal and solid resource for all. Lavishly illustrated with color photographs, a recommended reading section, lists of the major European cathedral sites and a full Bibliography, Gothic Cathedrals is a fascinating showcase of the mystic and spiritual symbolism found in these great structures of Europe, information that will help modern readers visit these sites and share in the energy of the sacred they continue to radiate.

It shows us the potential of the Labyrinth to inspire change and renewal, and serves as a guide to help us develop the higher level of human awareness we need to survive in the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delo je v izvirniku pod naslovom Zvezdne poti in plesne sledi: Od Platona do romarskega vrtca izdalo Slovensko etnološko društvo leta 2021. Skozi sistematično zasnovana poglavja avtor bralca opremlja z znanji, ki so nujna za umeščanje pojava v kulturno-zgodovinske prostore. Opozarja ga na spreminjajoče se filozofske, moralne, etične, verske in druge predispozicije, ki so vplivale in tudi danes vplivajo na v raziskavi izpostavljene pojave. Da bi odgovoril na zastavljeno vprašanje, avtor zastavi širok zgodovinski prostor, in sicer od razumevanja antične tradicije ter ključnih antičnih filozofskih paradigem, prek zgodnjega krščanstva, do filozofskih in verskih dogem srednjega in novega veka. Upošteva tiste ključne miselne premise, ki so zaznamovale vsakokratna razumevanja plesnih vedênj v odnosu do pojmov, kot so sakralni prostor, sakralna vsebina, telo, gib … Monografija bralcu ponuja do zdaj nepoznane in še neinterpretirane referenčne literaturo, vire in podatke ter jih postavlja v širok okvir večdisciplinarnih razlag pojavov. Avtor je zanimanje iz polja svojih domicilnih ved, etnologije in kulturne antropologije, razširil na splošno zgodovino, zgodovino plesa, filozofijo, zgodovino glasbe in cerkve, teologijo in mitologijo. Gre za lucidno, kritično, teoretsko, metodološko in vsebinsko znanstveno utemeljeno delo o zgodovini umeščanja giba/plesa v kontekst sakralnega.

Book excerpt: CW: Suicidal ideation, self-harm, sex/death psychodynamics, but the journey moves from such darkness into radiant, transformative light! “and the glints on waves / are not glints on waves, but... / stars...” In summer 2010, artist and poet Bruce Rimell fell into a self-destructive spiral of suicidal ideation, confused hyperactivity, and dark dreams so unsettling and so persistent that they threatened to tear his life apart. The most prominent recurring nightmare was one in which he hanged himself and enjoyed it, eager to end his life, but at the last moment he would spit out letters, so did not die. Waking up terrified, he felt himself coming undone, desperately seeking answers but finding none. When he began to 'enter into the image' of this dream, rather than study it rationally, a new and unexpected transformative path opened up towards a more holistic Queer spiritual identity. This in turn kickstarted the healing of his latent self-destructive urges that arose from his internalised rage at centuries of homo/queerphobic persecution. 'Hangman Starman' is a visionary voyage through the darkest realms of Bruce's gay/queer psyche, a brutally honest account of his time in the underworld, and how he worked his dreams to burn his darkness through to the blazing light on the other side.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great Russian choreographer Leonide Massine was the most important figure in modernist ballet in the 1930s, known for works such as Gaite Parisienne and The Three-Cornered Hat. His versatility and scope made his choreography the most representative of the century. Whatever period he portrayed, his style flowed freely and unselfconsciously. His character ballets dealt not with stereotypes but individuals, and his symphonic ballets proved how great music could be employed without demeaning it. Like his mentor Diaghilev, he strove to bring music, painting, and poetry to his ballets. Massine was responsible for the first resolutely abstract ballet and the first true fusions of ballet and modern dance. This work provides a biography of Massine and a detailed analysis of his major ballets, including those for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and American Ballet Theatre. The work integrates biographical study with an examination of Massine's works from an array of perspectives. By examining the music and composers, set design, and literary sources, it places the work in the larger context of the dance, opera, major visual art movements, literature and theater of the period. Analyses of ballets include synopses, scenery and costumes, music, choreography, critical survey and summary. The work concludes with an epilogue summarizing Massine's impact on the development of ballet in the twentieth century, and includes both informal and performance photographs.

Book excerpt: In an impressive, lyrical first book, "Labyrinth Dance" grapples with issues of family and close connection. Rickbone meditates on the inner beauty of her family members and draws striking, measured, beautiful intimate portraits. But her book's subject does not stop there. Rickbone reveals the beauty under the surface in everyday encounters with strangers and the unknown, such as in "Waiting for the Bus," where a blind man touches the poem's speaker's face, saying, "She's beautiful," to the crowd, getting at the magic of this collection--its beauty, its immediacy, its closeness. This collection reveals the beauty in everyday lives.--Kevin Rabas, author of "Bird's Horn," "Lisa's Flying Electric Piano," and "Spider Face"
