Circle or Zero by Mari Eckstein Gower
$900.00
Sacred or Profane? It depends on one's point of view. In my book I compare scientific vs. the metaphysical viewpoints. To do this I've examined different ideas about creation: contrasting a panoramic timeline of the Big Bang/evolution (scientific view) with altarpiece inserts (metaphysical). For this I've used such sources as; the Bible, ancient Egyptian incantations, the Rig-Veda, Poetic Edda, Popol Vuh and the Hawaiian Kumulipo.
