Sacred sites

Sacred sites takes us on a journey through the history of spiritual art and architecture, making a pilgrimage through the vast landscapes of myth, religion, and folktale. From petroglyphs to great pyramids, verdant gardens to mountain top temples, we create evolving shrines to our gods and goddesses and to our own imaginations. Tracing a hallowed route from rough-hewn stone circles to transcendent expressions of contemporary art, the fifth volume in The Library of Esoterica celebrates the collective history of spaces made sacrosanct through human worship.
