Pewter Labyrinths



Look at these cool labyrinths that we just received. They are made from pewter by Bonnie Mason and Angi Winebrenner. Here is what they have to say about labyrinths:

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.

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.
