From the Back Cover:
The Celts believed that the visible and invisible worlds, the material and the spiritual, were one. For them, certain places were sacred - places where the divide between visible and invisible was very thin, where the presence of the spiritual was almost palpable. They revered such 'thin places' as 'sacred space'.
About the Author:
In this book, Margaret Silf introduces seven traditional sacred spaces:
* the infinite knot
* the Celtic cross
* hilltops
* wells
* groves and springs
* thresholds and crossing places
* boundaries
Each chapter features one of these sacred spaces and through them we are led into a deeper reflection on what such sacred space can mean in our own lives. The author weaves into her text imaginative retellings of sacred stories from scripture and legend to help us find the thread of our own story, and she encourages us to reflect on how we might mark the key stages of our journey in a sacramental way.
Beautifully written and illustrated with evocative photographs, Sacred Spaces is a book for all those engaged on the inner journey, whatever the starting point. Drawing on the riches of the Celtic tradition, it helps us to see that as we go deeper into our own sacred space we move closer to the centre and heart of all creation.
MARGARET SILF is a writer and retreat leader. She has been trained by the Jesuits in accompanying people in prayer and is author of the highly acclaimed Landmarks: An Ignatian Journey and Taste and See: Adventuring into Prayer (both for DLT) as well as 100 Wisdom Stories, On Prayer and On Making Choices (all for Lion). She has been described by The Tablet as ‘one of the most talented spiritual writers’.
