Either engraved on rocks or at a walkable scale they are clearly emblems and instructions for some transcendence practices, possibly repetition rituals and ongoing training. Rosary and prayer beads may have a similar function. In this paper we call them Mother or Root Labyrinth. 7 Construction steps of Mother Labyrinth (Artship Archive) This type of labyrinth can be found in a number of Mediter- ranean countries on all three continents that form its watershed. Mother Labyrinths also appear in British Isles, Scandinavian and Russian do- mains. This pattern is present in Shamanic practices of Turkic central Asia, Siberia, Mongolia and among Native Americans. It is interesting that an initial crossing of four short twigs in basket making, prehistoric or modern, has a similar initial ordering of the material that grounds, holds it so it can be looped and self-fastened to create a full container. Prehistoric markings – Ponteverda, Spain and Val Camonica Italy (Artship Archive) 8 The simplicity and portability of the Mother Labyrinth pattern is impressive. It appears that at any scale the Mother Labyrinth brought practitioners into a desired state, relationship or understanding. Am- bulatory usage and its comprehension seem to be an important part of this tradition. Not just chanting or talking but actually Traversing (dancing) on the ground in repeatable (choreographed) pattern, towards some form of transcendence. Utilizing turf and lying down of stones were often construction methods of Mother Labyrinths on the ground. Turf Labyrinth (Community Resource Library) The connection between ancient labyrinth and church pavements of the Middle Ages points to a possible wider, across-time cultural category. That in the atavistic memory and possibly within the body's molecular structures, there could be a seed of a devotional, respectful movement through an organized, handsome, repeatable pattern. Similar to when we look at the loops of Medieval Orthodox or Catholic church floors, something in us begins to sinuously ambulate even if we are standing still. 9 Prolonged and slowed down, the walk over compressed, nonlin- ear territory with proportionally ordered turns and returns do have an effect on the human body. Like the courtly and dignified Pavan, a dance that is almost nothing more than a slowed down walk. This slowing down may be the opening, a queue for the bodily sense of entering a ritual state. Omphalos Oracle Stones This very brief overview of the Omphalos tradition, meaning and geography is presented to give grounding and understanding of the symbolic function of votive stones as the focus of ambulatory practices from prehistoric times onward. The association of stones with a place and the liturgical, theophanic character of stones placed in or around places of worship are of interest to this paper for the Anthropology – Cultural Studies Symposium of the Romanian University of Sibiu titled From Ritual to Modern Dances. Omphalos means naval, the same as the scar of umbilical separa- tion on the human body. Omphalos, the naval of the world traditions are expressed as sculpted half-egg shaped stones fully embodied in three dimensions. Omphalos is associated with oracle sanctuaries of pre-classical and classical Greco-Roman world, with Delphi being one of them. The Delphic oracle priestess Pythia is under protection of Apollo and also in name and inner practices is connected to Python the earlier deity of the sanctuary. The presence of the Omphalos stone is confirmation of the sanctuaries’ oracular function. There are a number of ancient sanctuaries around the Mediter- ranean that have inherited the title of ‘Earth Navel.’ Most of these sites were the nexuses of earlier cults of mother goddesses, places of veneration, pilgrimage and in some cases prophecy. The most famous Omphalos is from Delphi in Greece. They are also found in Greek temple complexes at Delos and in the Ancient Egyptian Nubia, at the temple of Amon. 10 Philipp Vandenberg in his book Mysteries of the Oracles: The Last Secrets of Antiquity
