The one in Chartres is not around the Altar and it is nothing more than floor decoration and has only begun to be "used" by New Age types in the last part of the twentieth century. The same people on the labyrinth bandwagon are enamored of enneagrams and other such trifles. You want a journey with God? Go on an Ignation 30 day retreat.

I'd love the 30 days deal. Medieval French cathedrals are chockful of allegories. Look at the other decorations.
