Editors' introduction
Edge-dweller Crab, ‘tween worlds, ‘tween lifetimes.
Yours is the wisdom we seek.
The personal, sacred and religious relationship that exists between humans and water is explored at ecological, psychological, theological and sociocultural levels of analysis. We search for the numinous and sacred, in nature, and in human practices based around water. In examining the world around us, what do we learn of ourselves? Does the grit that will form the pearl of wisdom already lie within us, leading us on to understanding and a sustainable relationship with our environment? We swim and dive through many-textured waters to find the essence of sacrality in historical, contemporaneous, mainstream and subcultural streams of knowing. We search for the source of our sacred connection so to empower action in the world.
