Labyrinth The labyrinth is an ancient meditative art form whose design can serve as a metaphor of one’s life journey. Its path helps walkers circle inward to the center of their soul. The labyrinth’s center represents moving toward a goal and allowing one to release emotions that they carried inside — in order to create or envision a solution as one turns around in order to work one’s way back. This liberating exercise lifts us out of our linear, left-brain thought processes by joyfully invoking our intuitive, creative right brain. During various time periods of its 4,000-year existence, religions throughout the world have embraced its mysterious healing abilities. Labyrinths are typically found in cathedrals, hospitals, parks and residences. Some walk the labyrinth methodically, heel-to-toe, as a contemplative and joyful pilgrimage to draw in, closer to God. Others tread fearfully on their knees, as a penitence for sin. There are two basic types of labyrinths: the Cretan and the Chartres. The Cretan labyrinth is named after the island of Crete and takes the walker into seven arc circuits in which the center is a cross. The Chartres is named after the stone labyrinth in the floor of the Chartres Cathedral in France. It carries the walker through eleven paths that wind through four quadrants of a circle. It also has a cross in the layout with a rosette in the center which is said to represent the Virgin Mary. Prayerfully, meditatively walking a labyrinth can help deepen your spirituality, no matter which path you choose. http://www.aiht.edu/doorways/labyrinth_door.asp?adclfr=OVlabyrinth

Labyrinth (LAB-i-rinth). A fiendishly intricate maze devised by Daedalus to house the Minotaur. The myth of an impossibly complex series of corridors may have been inspired by travelers' tales of the historical palace or temple compound of Knossos. The name "Labyrinth" comes from the word "labrys" meaning "double-ax", and the dynasty of King Minos was referred to as the "House of the Double-Ax". Clearly there is history behind the myth here, for many images of double-axes have been found by archaeologists on Crete from a time even earlier than that of the mythological heroes. But such images are far older still, being found on European icons from as long ago as 5000 B.C.E. And before they became stylized as double-headed axes with curved blades, it is clear that they depicted butterflies. Because of its transformation from a caterpillar, the butterfly represented change and rebirth to the people of the Stone Age, and therefore it was revered as a form of the Great Goddess. Other images of the Great Goddess in the form of a snake are characteristic of the Minoan civilization. Snakes were sacred symbols because they shed their skin and were in that sense reborn, and the rebirth of the crops and edible plants in the springtime was humankind's greatest preoccupation. So a snake might be worshipped or serve a ceremonial role, either as a symbol or an embodiment of the Goddess herself. Crete was last outpost of female-oriented religion and the point of contact between prehistoric Europe and the world of the ancient Greeks. Minoan Crete is a window through which we can look back at the spiritual roots of Europe. According to the myths, Zeus was born on Crete or sheltered there in a cave on Mount Dicte. Thus the Greeks acknowledged a more ancient spiritual heritage.

My mythology is a bit rusty, but: A labyrinth was a large maze type thing that contained a monster called a Minotaur. The minotaur was in the center of the labyrinth and was deadly.

Knossos is the real life basis for the Labyrinth. In legend, it was built to contain the fearsome Minotaur.
