How have I managed to be pagan so long without knowing how to draw a basic labyrinth!
Recently I hosted a Stitch and Witch at my home with invocations to Brigit, great company, great cake and a skills exchange. I taught sock darning and various aspects of knitting and in return I learned to draw a 7 step labyrinth. Thank you M!
It is so elegant and simple I want to share it all with you.
1. Starting point.

1. Starting point.
2. Now draw a connecting loop from the top point of the inner cross shape to the top of the L shape on the right side of the page.
3. Then working from your left to your right draw loops linking the points of the cross and the points of the L's. Move out one on each side every time until all the points have been connected and you have circled the whole Labyrinth.
Just remember that the top of the Labyrinth will be much bigger than the bottom so make sure you take this into account when choosing where start your drawing.
I am so impressed with this technique - I don't draw often and yet I shall always be able to make a Labyrinth, it won't be long because I am embroidering them on prayer flags, icing them on cupcakes and splashing them all over my house. Best of all if I want to lay out a huge Labyrinth in my garden for a ritual working I can just use this template. Want it to be bigger than 7 steps just keep on adding the L shapes in the four corners.
It couldn't be simpler!
You will be drawing labyrinths on everything for days to come, I promise you.
