Magic, Sacred Landscape and the Living Sky

Domestic Shrines and the Construction of Sacred Space among Spiritually Inclined Women
In his attempt to define the nature of sacred space, the sociologist Émile Durkheim distinguished the sacred from the profane, arguing that ‘the sacred and the profane cannot occupy the same space space’.i This lecture draws on research conducted in 2013 involving interviews with a group of women who maintained domestic shrines, together with a reflexive consideration of my own domestic shrines. The research asks whether such home shrines may be understood as sacred spaces and what this might reveal, if anything, about the construction of sacredness within everyday domestic environments.
