    Ars Sacrum – A Visionary Art Primer

    By Daniel Mirante

    Sacred art connects and integrates wisdom lines and knowledge traditions across space and time. It performs this through a traditionalism, an honoring of its antecedents, its elders, its generational progression, the creative gnostic flame passed from master to apprentice : sometimes directly, sometimes through distant strands of inter-connectivity.

    19

    kuba3

    Ritual can also be seen as a material ‘scaffolding’ that facilitates movement through immaterial informational fields (what Jung could call the collective unconscious). This scaffolding is deliberately designed to facilitate one or more of the natural (inherent in all human consciousness and culture) processes of change.
