"Ours is a classical labyrinth pattern, made up of seven rings. These are created by mowing two different levels of grass. There is only one way in and out - the aim is not to get ‘lost’ in the pathways, but to walk them in their entirety, without skipping over any. To do so would surely be bad luck."

Members of the EDGE Residential College faculty and students in that college were on hand to dedicate a labyrinth behind State Hall on Thursday. The labyrinth was a service project that was suggested by the students as an improvement behind the hall as well as an area of meditation and reflection. To uphold ages-old tradition, the labyrinth was dedicated by song as the performer walked the labyrinth.

Clifford, Ontario has a public labyrinth in the local Rotary Park. I happened to be here at night, but that doesn't stop me.
Base exposure was 6 seconds. I have modified the photo in Photoshop to amp up the trees a bit, which were also painted in with my flashlight during the exposure.
The labyrinth has one path - there is no right or wrong way. It is meant for meditation and prayer - it is not a maze.
Obviously this can occur at night too, or the big streetlight that illuminates the foreground wouldn't be here.

This version of a medieval labyrinth has been constructed at the University of Kent's Canterbury campus. It's the first labyrinth (I believe) to have been built at an English university (apparently Edinburgh already has some). Kent also has a canvas labyrinth based on the one at Chartres. Basically they can be used as a meditational aid, or for destressing, help with focussing and just whiling away the odd half an hour or so.
I tried replicating a labyrinth with tiles, but didn't have enough. I did the other half in studs, and liked it better that way, because the studs seemed to increase the optical illusions of diagonal lines from corner to corner and the zig-zagging rectangles horizontally and vertically through the middle. It makes me want to try my own designs and see how the optical illusions can be manipulated.

This labyrinth is part of the Ruhr2010 festival that is taking part in Germany right now.
It was set up in an ancient church and consists of more than 1500 pieces of stone, the same sandstone that the church was built of centuries ago.
It is said to be meditative to walk the labyrinth, especially with bare feet. Try it out if you are near the Ruhrgebiet, Dortmund.
It is NOT a maze, you cannot lose your way. But the path forces you to follow it with zen-like calm. It takes about 8 minutes to walk the few meters to the center.

I could have been poetic and quote Keats...:
"How to entangle, trammel up and snare
Your soul in mine, and labyrinth you there
Like the hid scent in an unbudded rose?"
Or I could have been meditative and quote this:
"A labyrinth has only one path. It is unicursal. The way in is the way out. There are no blind alleys. The path leads you on a circuitous path to the center and out again.
A labyrinth is a right brain task. It involves intuition, creativity, and imagery. With a maze many choices must be made and an active mind is needed to solve the problem of finding the center. With a labyrinth there is only one choice to be made. The choice is to enter or not. A more passive, receptive mindset is needed. The choice is whether or not to walk a spiritual path. "
Or I could have been historical:
"Labyrinths have been known to the human race for over 3,500 years, conjuring up such images as the legend of Theseus and the Minotaur. They have been used in many different religious ways by many peoples, and as solar and lunar calendars. In Arizona and the American Southwest the Hopi use a form of the labyrinth in their religious symbolism, and the Tohono O'odham "Man in the Maze" is actually a "seven-circuit" labyrinth and is part of an elaborate creation myth.
The oldest existing Christian labyrinth is probably the one in the fourth-century basilica of Reparatus, Orleansville, Algeria. And while Christians used labyrinths on pre-Christian sites and modeled their own after ones used by earlier cultures, the development of the high medieval Christian seven circuit labyrinth was a breakthrough in design. Its path of seven circles was cruciform (shaped like the Cross) and thus incorporated the central Christian symbol. Use of these labyrinths flourished in Europe throughout the eleventh and twelfth centuries and beyond, especially in the French cathedrals of Chartres, Sens, Poitiers, Bayeaux, Amiens and Rheims and in the Italian cathedrals at Lucca and San Maria-di-Trastavere in Rome."

Performers in The Venus Labyrinth, a performance-installation in which 28 rooms, each representing one of the 28 known areas of the human brain, are occupied by one woman. The audience member enters the labyrinth alone and then, dependent on which object they choose from a selection before them, embarks upon a completely unique journey, travelling deeper into the building, but also deeper into their own mind and memories than they may have been before.

This Labyrinth has been cut on the hillside on the coast path between Looe & Seaton.
A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. The Labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools.
A labyrinth is an archetype with which we can have a direct experience. We can walk it. It is a metaphor for life's journey. It is a symbol that creates a sacred space and place and takes us out of our ego to "That Which Is Within."
Labyrinths and mazes have often been confused. When most people hear of a labyrinth they think of a maze. A labyrinth is not a maze. A maze is like a puzzle to be solved. It has twists, turns, and blind alleys. It is a left brain task that requires logical, sequential, analytical activity to find the correct path into the maze and out.

At its most basic level the labyrinth is a metaphor for the journey to the center of your deepest self and back out into the world with a broadened understanding of who you are.

Start your labyrinth with a center circle, a small stake, and string or rope. You will eventually have a row of stones coming down from the middle of your first circle.
