People often ask me how did I get into labyrinths and all I remember is that after seeing a program on PBS about labyrinths I thought about making labyrinths wherever I traveled. It took me two to three years before making my first labyrinth. Another thing people ask me is how did I choose the spot at Land's End and, I really think that is was actually the other way around, spot that chose me. Down below the cliff next to the rocky beach there is something that looks like a cave resembling a kind of cathedral ceilings and, it was there that my venture begun. I started a kind of shrine dedicated to Peace, Love and Enlightenment, in which, I was burning incense, lighting candles, placing stickers and flowers hoping to start a pilgrimage of people to do the same. Well, I started to notice that in the candle jars someone was dropping small rocks to put the candles out. All this happened in Dec. Of 2003 and though the shrine was kind of high I started to suspect that the surge of the waves from the winter storms was going to wash everything out and they sure did. I started to look for another site where to build the shrine but, by then I already was contemplating building the labyrinth at it's present location. Originally I wanted to remain anonymous but, it just did not happened. I started going out there early in the morning hoping that no one would see me working in the labyrinth but, people were out hiking at such early times. Another reason I was out there early was to avoid the park rangers. Though the labyrinth at Land's End has been destroyed twice by vandals I have rebuilt it all over again. The first time I build the labyrinth on the Vernal Equinox 2004 it took me about 11 hours. A girl helped me with the last third. All the rocks are from the surrounding area. The second time after it got destroyed the first time on the 4th of July, 2004 I think I put something like 30 hours of work. With a push broom I cleared the area of sand, dirt, gravel and pebbles then, carved a groove into the dirt. But, this time I had to go a little further to gather the rocks. The second time the labyrinth got destroyed was on the afternoon of Labor Day of 2005 or the next couple of days. This I did not calculated the time it took to rebuild the labyrinth but, I did put a lot more time than 30 hrs. The labyrinth has been enjoyed by so many different people of all creeds and walks of life. At the center of the labyrinth I have found countless thank you notes in many different languages, funeral stamps, pictures loved pets that have died, message to a love one, money and many other things. People have gotten engaged at the labyrinth as well. I have been fortunate to have had some of these stories  been shared with me and that itself is very rewarding for all the labour I have put into this creation. On the Winter Solstice of 2004 and on the Vernal Equinox of 2005 I had events there. On the Winter Solstice of 2004 I lit the labyrinth with luminaries for the first time. A lot of people showed for the event most willing to help with the placement and lighting of the luminaries. Because I was not able to take pictures that evening I decided to light it again on Christmas Eve 2004. That evening Steve Crouch who had been taking pictures all around Land's End stumble upon me and a few others who were getting ready to light the labyrinth. He stayed the whole evening to capture the enchanting evening at the labyrinth with his new digital camera. Steve and I been friends ever since. On the Vernal Equinox of 2005 I decided to celebrate the labyrinth's first anniversary as well as the Equinox itself. A lot of people showed up this time as well but, because it had been very windy and rainy throughout the day it kept a lot of other people away. Again most everyone wanted to participate in setting things up. This time I decide to set the labyrinth on fire to welcome the spring and the effect that I was aiming for was to light the labyrinth at the center and watch it spread all around the rings of the labyrinth but, because of the misty windy evening I did not get the effects wanted. I still managed to light the labyrinth partially with the help of some friends. The material used was Duraflame fire logs broken lengthwise into three and wrapped in newspaper then pour a lighting fluid over to help with the lighting. I haven't had an event since then but, I am hoping to do something this winter. If you would like to be in the mailing list please send me an e-mail to keep you up to date.
