Labyrinths are universal archetypal tools used to enhance and bring clarity to one's life. Walking one or using a finger labyrinth will help one to find a place of renewal and self illumination. Despite their popularity in medieval European churches and cathedrals labyrinths have no religious connotations, they are simply spiritual tools.

The term labyrinth can be used to describe any pattern with a unicursal (singular path) design that leads to its centre. Unlike the mental challenge of a maze, with its twists and turns and dead ends, a labyrinth requires no thinking, it is the journey that is important.

The oldest known examples of the labyrinth design date back around 3000 years. These spiralling labyrinth-pattern petroglyphs (incised stones) are found in numerous places across the world and throughout history. Perhaps the most famous design is the simple 7-circuit style known as the classical labyrinth. This symbol can be found on the 3rd century BC coins from the Cretian town of Knossos.

In Europe labyrinths became popular during the 12th and 13th centuries and were incorporated into many of the finest gothic cathedrals of the time including Chartres (France) which also gives its name to one of the most complex labyrinths, the 11-circuit design.
