Wosien, Maria-Gabriele.

Sacred Dance: Encounter with the Gods.

London, Thames and Hudson, 1974. 20.5 x 28cm. 128 pages, with 142 illustrations, 30 in colour. Original softcover. Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear. [Art and Imagination Series].

This is one of a series of lavishly illustrated, large-format paperback books that explore a truly astonishing range of interests, philosophies, religions, and cultures — from alchemy to angels, Buddhism to Hinduism, myth to magic.
A primordial element of religious tradition, all over the world, the dance was a vital part of Early Christian worship, and survives in the whirling, orbiting movements of the Dervishes of Turkey. This book evokes one of mankind’s oldest and profoundest impulses: to act out the movements of the powers that he senses within himself and the within the world. [Thames and Hudson]
