The medieval labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral. The Leith Festival has just passed. Yet another Edinburgh festival, but at least this time I managed to go to a couple of events. I firstly went to an arts and crafts afternoon and ogled some very nice handmade handbags. But I resisted.

I also managed to tick another wee box on the ‘things I really want to do sometime list’, by walking a labyrinth.
This free event was in a church hall and was a meditative chunk of time at the end of a busy weekend, and is much to be recommended.
I decided to look a bit more into the history of the labyrinth and of course found really useful information online. This site has comprehensive information about labyrinths throughout history and across the globe. It also links the ideas of sacred geometry and the golden ratio with other spiritual concepts such as chakras and dowsing.
