Ben Stewart Landscapes of the Sacred 3

In the Belden C Lanes landscapes of the sacred he outlines 4 things that he calls axioms. These axioms help to define the sacred space through specific rules. The first axiom is that sacred place isn’t chosen it chooses, the second axiom is that ordinary places can be ritually made extraordinary, the 3rd axiom is that sacred space can be tred up without being entered, the 4th axiom is that sacred space is both centripetal and centrifugal, These axioms will be important as i am learning more about religion and wilderness.
