Rachel Popp- "Landscapes of the Sacred" #1


Landscapes of the Sacred explains that there are four axioms that describe sacred places. The first axiom states that a sacred place is not chosen, but that it chooses itself. The second suggests that sacred places are ordinary places made extraordinary. The third axiom claims that sacred places can be tread upon without being entered. The fourth states that it is a local place that reverberates universally. I honestly don’t think I would have fully comprehended what a sacred place is without these axioms. Before I often wondered who made them sacred places, etc. These axioms really helped me to understand how a sacred place comes about and what it is.
