Definition:
The labrynth is a winding, maze like path, often resembling a spiral. They
are found in many ancient cultures, and almost always have spiritual significance.
Ancient Minoan labrynths were associated with the cult of the mother Goddess,
and were possibly used in intiatory rituals.
Labrynths
carried into medieval times, where they were loaid on the floors of cathedrals.
They were used as a sort of miniature pilgrimage- often, these 'pilgrims'
traveled the path on their knees while praying continuously.
