Storied Place - Nina Salzberg

In Lane's book he mentions that sacred place is storied place. That places are recognized for the stories told about them. This makes the sacred to people who haven't been there. Telling a story about a place does not give off the same experience as going there and feeling it. Stories about places just give you a false sense of what to expect. That there's something out there someone saw, heard, or felt. You dont know if its real. Yet most people believe stories about sacred places. I couldnt believe it unless I, myself, was there. I don't particularly agree with Lane's statement about sacred place is storied place. It is true that people will tell of their stories or personal experiences at sacred places. And in turn, makes other people believe what happened at that certain spot is real. But I think you have to experience it for yourself.
