The labyrinth is seen as a sacred pattern that leads the seeker on a path to its center. A labyrinth is not a maze, there is only one way in and one way out, and there are no dead ends that would make the seeker choose directions. Labyrinths have been documented throughout history as far back as the Bronze Age, and there are as many designs as there are cultures.

The Chartres style labyrinth became identified with the Christian Church in Europe around 350 AD. The 11-circuit Chartres labyrinth is so named because it is modeled after the labyrinth set in the stone floor in the nave of Chartres Cathedral in France. It was dedicated in the Cathedral around 1260 AD, and many other forms in this style can be found throughout Europe. The 11 circuits of this labyrinth can be traced on our pieces with the included stylus as one mediates and prays.

Includes 3" pewter labyrinth affixed to cast stone, pewter stylus, and a card stating the following:
A labyrinth is viewed as a metaphor for life's journeys, offering lessons as we walk its path. Walking, or tracing the path of a labyrinth is known to assist us with addressing life's challenges, finding peace through meditation and prayer.
