What reading level is The Buddhist Praying-Wheel; a Collection of Material Bearing Upon the Symbolism of the Wheel And Circular Movements in Custom And Religious Ritual book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
to perform all acts in accordance with the sun's apparent motion. This in Celtic is called Deasil or Dessil. The Flannan Isles, although uninhabited, are believed by the people of the neigh- bouring islands to be places of inherent sanctity.
When visited by persons from the isle of Lewis, the boatmen, on reaching the summit, uncover their heads, make a turn round sunways, and give thanks to God for their safety. In Ireland when any one falls, he springs up and turns about three times to the rig...ht. On Martin's arrival in the island of Rona, one of the inhabitants gave him a blessing, at the same time going round him sunwise. This was in Martin's visit to the Western Isles in the end of the seventeenth century. He men- tions that it was then a practice to carry fire, Deasil, sunwise round persons, or property in order to pre- serve them from any malignant influence. For the same reason boatmen rowed their boat round sunwise before proceeding in their direct course. The same author informs us of the practice in those islands of religious processions moving sunwise round cairns and stones reared for some object that was unknown to tradition.
