"By moving in a focused and directed way through
the labyrinth, we begin to relax, and our sixth sense becomes heightened.” That’s
how the author, a renowned labyrinth-maker and “land artist,” describes
the effect of walking the traditional and contemporary labyrinths explored
here.
Anyone
who owns, uses, or appreciates the Chartres labyrinth will want to
read this book to more fully understand the great depth of symbolism
and meaning
that it represents. 
This
is an instruction manual for constructing classical labyrinths. The
classical pattern is the oldest of all labyrinth patterns, dating
back at least 5,000 years and probably much more. 
This
is an introduction to labyrinths, which are single-path patterns
usually walked for well-being, meditation, or prayer. 
This book was written in response to expressed needs
for resources that could be used at a labyrinth.
This book lays side by side the author’s poetry,
prayers and hymns which were inspired by the labyrinth and the Hebrew
Scriptures love poem “Song of Songs.” 
This book encourages readers to expand the ways in
which they explore the labyrinth. 
'James'
analysis of Chartres is likely to be the best and most detailed we
shall have.' Journal of Architectural Historians The great
cathedral of Chartres is the most impressive and exciting building
surviving from the
middle ages, and is preserved almost intact. Yet we know nothing of the men
who created it. John James, in this masterpiece of detection, shows how he
came to identify the master masons from the stones themselves. 
For
thousands of years in many different cultures and in many diverse forms,
the enigmatic shape of the labyrinth has reappeared to tantalize archaeologists
and historians. What were these magical mazes used for and why? What could
their
meaning be for us today? Guiding the reader through the myths, stories,
symbolism and sacred geometry associated with this ancient symbol.
