Summary:
With brilliant cinematography, Mystic Lands chronicles a diverse array of sacred sites around the world. The idyllic places, where man communes with the sacred are as varied as they are fascinating. Viewers can explore the vibrant mystic traces from ancient cultures from tantric meditation amidst the Shangri-La beauty of Bhutan, to the never photographed Zoroastrian eternal flame glowing bright for 2,500 years in Iran, and from the wonder of the Taj Mahal in India to the seemingly sinister sights of Voodoo in Haiti, and the trance-like shamanistic dances of Australia s Aboriginal people. These lands are shrouded in mystery, your ticket to adventure.
