Landscapes of the Sacred 2


In the chapter, Mythic Landscapes: The Ordinary as Mask of the Holy, there is talk of many landscapes in the world, but not everyone recognizes them because of the Mask of the Holy. This term could represent that the landscape is covering something sacred from the common eye, but to me, it means each landscape is sacred, but it takes a special eye to see. This can be related back to the third axiom, sacred place can be tred upon without being entered”. I think this means because the place isn’t sacred to you, you won’t be able to see the sacredness of it like someone else would who sees the place as one of the most sacred ever.
