[Stones] Caedroia - magazine and website on Labyrinths and mazes

[Judith Helling]

Agreed, Caerdroia is excellent on labyrinths.
I've been fascinated by labyrinths for years, and have dabbled with them in 
my art but never quite got where I wanted ...!
There are (or have been - they're easily destroyed) several turf-cut 
labyrinths in the UK, similar to the Gotland one and the Chartes cathedral 
one.  "Julian's Bower" on the south side of the Humber, a mile or two west 
of the Humber Bridge, comes to mind as a good one in a dramatic setting in 
the landscape, raising, for me, similar questions to stone circles  - why 
here, what was special for the builders about the landscape at this point 
and so on.
Could it be that in areas of the country where there are no stones of any 
size, this sort of turf construction might have been an alternative way of 
making a focal pont in a (sacred?) landscape?
It's also very interesting that labyrinths seem to have occured from ancient 
times, and across the world.
Best,
Judith
