General Reading - Spiritual & Practical Guides

The current revival of labyrinths involves a considerable element of interest in their spiritual aspects. This has been reflected in a wealth of recently published books on these matters. Many of these also contain valuable information on the practical matter of constructing labyrinths, either for temporary or permanent use. The following are our favourites:
