This gallery of photographs is a visual exploration of sacred places and sacred spaces in our world. They represent the Pagan sense of the spiritual. They show the numerous and varied spaces that we may each find something special and sacred within.

"'Spirituality,' as we conceive it, is the apprehension of the sacred, the holy, the divine. In our modern world we see matter and spirit as antithetical, but our myths reveal a different understanding. They describe a world permeated by spirit, where matter and spirit are simply different aspects of the totality; together they constitute 'being.' All cultures have believed in power beyond human power, in life beyond death, in spirit. Many have believed in an animated, inhabited, sacred world surrounding them, the natural world that constitutes reality." - David Suzuki

This gallery is meant to act as a sequence of visions from the readers and contributors of Crescent Magazine. From an understanding and practice of mythology and spirituality, we recognize the connection of the mundane to the ethereal.
