Labyrinths page

I updated the labyrinths page with a lot of photos of the fire path we did a few weeks ago. So many beautiful images, shot by one of our students.

Candlelit path

This was beautiful. A group of students helped to light the candles and place them into bags, then we silently walked the pathway with candles in hand adding them to the pathway on our journey to the centre. The Fire path. I’m very grateful to have been able to do this.         [...]

Heart and soul

In Valentin Tomberg’s great Meditations on the Tarot he describes the relationship of the alchemical twins as a matter of the interaction of heart and mind becoming one in intuition. I like this idea, although it’s a little distant from the alchemical symbolism of the card, which shows the twin (often seen as the king [...]

Scythe

I’ve managed to paint the scythe in a light raw sienna, and to clean up the blade in a solid grey that will take a touch of blue to fix the edges and add a metallic quality to it. I’ve asked Lolita in our costume department if she has any crowns that i can borrow [...]

Labyrinth installation III

It was time to put the labyrinth to bed, so we gathered at the creek and walked into the labyrinth. At the centre each of my students chose a rock and carried it out with them through the winding path, giving us a very good sense of completion in a gentle ritual. We carried all [...]

Storm XV

  Here’s how the “Storm” painting is related to the labyrinth. The falling figure doesn’t necessarily need to be a person falling from the world trade center. Other falling figures come to mind, particularly Icarus, who flew too close to the sun on wings his father Daedalus made for him using wax and feathers; the [...]

A Labyrinth in the Park IV

The Scandinavian Festival was absolutely great this year – it seems to have grown larger and was well attended. If you’re anywhere near Thousand Oaks CA on Sunday, do yourself a favor and go to the CLU campus and enjoy yourself.       The labyrinth attracted a healthy crowd of curious people and a [...]
