Symbols & Meaning


Sacred Geometry is the universal design language of the
cosmos, an ancient science that explores and explains the
energy patterns that create and unify all things. It reveals the
precise way the energy of Creation organizes itself, from the
spirals of galaxies to the intricate designs of a snowflake.

 This mathematical framework is found in art, architecture, and


even in the very design of life itself, including our DNA.

Far from being the exclusive realm of academics or mystics,


Sacred Geometry is everywhere—serving as the bridge between
the analytical and the intuitive, between science and spirituality.
It invites us into a coherent understanding of the abstract and
the tangible, fueling both our intellect and our awe.

If you've ever felt an unexplainable connection to a pattern or


been mesmerized by a particular design, you've likely
experienced Sacred Geometry without even realizing it.

Ready to explore the captivating geometry of the universe? Join


us as we delve into its most profound symbols and meanings.
Your journey into the cosmic blueprint starts here.

Sacred Geometry Shapes


VESICA PISCIS
The Vesica Piscis is a captivating mathematical shape created
by the intersection of two identical circles, where the center of
each circle lies on the perimeter of the other. Beyond its use in
Venn Diagrams and emblematic seals, the vesica piscis holds a
profound place in various artistic and organizational symbols
throughout history.

From this shape, we can derive several significant symbols,


including:

 The Ichthys or the "Jesus Fish," a renowned early Christian


symbol.
 The intricate Triquetra, often seen in Celtic art and
modern adornments.
 The geometrically unique Reuleaux triangle.
 The mandorla, often seen in religious art and architecture,
is derived directly from the Vesica Piscis, symbolizing the
union of opposites and the intersection of the earthly and
celestial realms.

Moreover, Freemasons have embraced the vesica piscis as a


symbol for centuries, embedding it deep within their esoteric
traditions. Beyond its symbolic significance, its proportions have
influenced architectural masterpieces, as seen in the writings of
the ancient Roman architect, Vitruvius.

SEED OF LIFE

At the heart of sacred geometry lies the Seed of Life, a design


made up of seven intertwined circles. At first glance, it's a
simple, symmetrical pattern, but its implications run deep.

The Seed of Life is often seen as a representation of the seven


days in which the world was created, a story that resonates
across various religious texts. Its universal appeal can be
witnessed in its widespread use. From the hallowed halls of
grand cathedrals to the intricate pages of ancient prayer books,
from the serene spaces of mosques to the ruins of age-old
temples, this symbol has marked its presence.

Beyond religious connotations, the Seed of Life speaks to the


fundamental structures of life and existence. Each overlapping
circle can be seen as a cell, a cycle, or even a day, culminating
in the interconnected nature of life's processes.

Historically, this emblem has been a source of intrigue and


reverence. Its design is said to imbue objects with a sense of
protection and blessing. Many wear it as jewelry or use it in art
and decorations, believing it brings positivity and wards off
negativity.

In the grand tapestry of sacred geometry symbols, the Seed of


Life is a testament to the universe's intricate design, a blend of
simplicity and profound meaning.

EGG OF LIFE

The journey of sacred geometry is marked by evolving patterns,


and the Egg of Life stands as a pivotal stage in this
transformative sequence. Often associated with notions of
rebirth, fertility, and the spark of new life, the Egg of Life is a
profound symbol that echoes the mysteries of creation.

Emerging as the second iteration in the process leading to the


intricate Flower of Life, the Egg of Life evolves from the Seed of
Life. By adding six more circles to the foundational Seed, we
witness the birth of the Egg of Life pattern, demonstrating how
life and patterns expand and evolve.

Yet, there's another dimension to its formation. Within the three-


dimensional realm, the Egg of Life can be visualized through the
eight spheres nestled within Metatron's Cube. This connection
not only showcases the versatility of sacred geometric symbols
but also emphasizes their intertwined relationships.

In the world of sacred symbols, the Egg of Life serves as a


bridge, linking the simplicity of the Seed to the complexity of the
Flower, reminding us of life's continuous cycle of growth and
transformation.

FLOWER OF LIFE

A symbol that truly transcends borders, the Flower of Life has


left its indelible mark across civilizations, from the ancient
pyramids of Egypt to the serene temples of Japan. Its presence
resonates in Ireland, Turkey, Greece, China, Israel, Germany,
England, Tibet, and Sweden, bearing testament to its universal
appeal.

The Flower of Life is often depicted as a series of 19 interlocking


circles, enveloped by a larger, encompassing circle. While this
representation is widely recognized, it's intriguing to note that
several circles extend beyond this boundary. Historically, the full
image, and the profound knowledge it held, was deemed so
sacred that it was shielded from commonplace exposure. From
this majestic pattern, another shape materializes, known as
the Fruit of Life.

Revered by ancient civilizations, the Flower of Life is believed to


be the cosmic blueprint, encoding the very design of every
atomic structure, life form, and essentially, all known existence.
As modern science ventures deeper into quantum realms, it finds
echoes of these ancient geometric patterns, reinforcing their
significance as foundational designs of the universe. The
ancients, with their profound wisdom, recognized our existence's
energetic core.
The intricacy of the Flower of Life doesn't end here. Within its
elegant design nest other revered patterns: the Egg of Life, Seed
of Life, and the Tree of Life, each a chapter in the grand
narrative of cosmic geometry.

TREE OF LIFE

The Tree of Life is another popular universal symbol it


represents numerous systems across varying cultures and
religions. Like all the other symbols in this list it is not identified
by a single culture and it has been used around the world for
centuries.

So what does the Tree of Life represent? A connection to


everything including the things we cannot see or the void
beyond. It reminds you that you are not alone in the Universe but
rather part of a vast interconnected network.

The Tree of Life provides a hierarchical structure for all of the


forces in the Universe. It can also be used as a road map of one's
soul. The 10 spheres are called the "Sephiroth" translating to
emanation. These are connected by different paths. The first
Sephira on the Tree of Life is at the top. It represents cosmic
consciousness. The Sephira at the base represents the material
world. The rest of these Sephiroth represent different qualities of
the Soul. These can be divided into three pillars; the Pillar of
Severity, The pillar of Mildness and the Pillar of Mercy.

FRUIT OF LIFE
Emerging from the heart of the illustrious Flower of Life,
the Fruit of Life comprises 13 interconnected spheres. This
geometric pattern stands out as one of the most potent in sacred
geometry, often referred to as the 'Holy of Holies' due to its
hidden placement within the renowned Flower of Life.

Let's break this down:

 The thirteen spheres: These aren't just a random


collection. Thirteen signifies unity and a transition between
realms or dimensions. Those familiar with musical notes will
find an analogy here: the chromatic scale consists of 12
notes. The thirteenth? It's essentially the first note, but
elevated to a higher frequency or octave, symbolizing
ascent to a superior dimension.
 Connection and Creation: When we link the centers of
these 13 circles, a staggering 78 lines emerge, fashioning
what's known as Metatron's Cube. This intricate cube
encloses all five Platonic solids - geometric templates for
every possible shape in our known universe. They are the
building blocks, revealing the geometric laws that knit
together our physical reality.
 Duality of Creation: The Fruit of Life's spheres symbolize
the feminine aspects of creation, providing a foundation for
the 78 masculine rays of creation. It's a dance between the
yin and yang, a harmonious interplay that births existence.

METATRONS CUBE
Within the intricate tapestry of sacred geometry, Metatron's
Cube holds a special reverence. Delving into the annals of
religious history, Metatron emerges as an archangel referenced
in Islamic, Judaic, and Christian medieval lore. Cast as the
celestial scribe or the voice of the divine, Metatron's role is
reminiscent of Thoth, the ancient Egyptian deity revered as the
god's scribe. Such divine scribes are believed to possess an
understanding of the foundational principles of creation, often
symbolized through sacred geometry. Notably, artistic renditions
frequently depict Archangel Metatron with, or within proximity to,
a mysterious cube.

Metatron's Cube 3D Model (Interactive):

But how did this sacred figure become associated with the
geometric construct we know today? The origins trace back to
Leonardo Pisano, a Medieval Italian mathematician. Pisano, well-
versed in sacred geometry and possibly initiated into secretive
schools preserving this knowledge, unearthed the design of
Metatron's Cube. His discoveries were interwoven with tales of
Metatron's celestial role and the cube's profound significance.

The essence of Metatron's Cube springs from nature's primal


pattern — encompassing 13 circles ensconced within a grander
circle. Linking the centers of these 13 circles results in the
formation of Metatron's Cube. But its revelations don't cease
there. Within this complex geometric form, Pisano discerned the
five Platonic solids, positioning Metatron's Cube as a pivotal
bridge, transforming 2-dimensional realities into 3-dimensional
realms.

The age-old Hermetic adage claims, "all is mind; the universe is


mental". Metatron's Cube stands as a testament to this belief,
elucidating the abstract, cognitive foundation of our universe. As
quantum physics ventures deeper into understanding existence,
it continually echoes this sentiment. Everything begins as a
conceptual notion in consciousness. Sacred geometry, with
Metatron's Cube as a prime exemplar, epitomizes the divine
blueprint upon which the cosmos is etched.

GRID OF LIFE

Central to sacred geometry is the 64-tetrahedron, commonly


termed as the 'Grid of Life.' This masculine counterpart to the
Flower of Life emanates from the star tetrahedron. As its name
elucidates, this geometric form comprises 64 individual
tetrahedrons, one of the distinguished Platonic solids. When this
grid overlays the Flower of Life, a profound concept emerges:
spheres symbolize the vastness of space, while the
interconnected lines pinpoint where space converges with time.

64 Tetrahedron 3D Model (Interactive)

The allure of the Grid of Life transcends its geometric elegance,


embedding itself in the mystique of the number 64. This number
recurrently surfaces in nature, mysticism, and human constructs.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the 64 tetrahedron is the


number 64 itself and how it appears throughout the natural
world.

Consider these intriguing manifestations of the number 64:

 Genetic Code: 64 codons form the structural foundation of


human DNA.
 Cellular Development: At conception, there are 64 cells
before they commence differentiation.
 Digital Universe: In computing, 64 is a foundational
number in memory bits.
 Spiritual Scriptures: The Tetragrammaton in the Hebrew
Bible, represented by the four-letter theonym YHWH,
conceals the number 64. This theonym translates to 'God'
in Hebrew.
 Genealogy: Tradition holds that 64 generations span
between Adam and Jesus.
 Religious Lore: Hinduism reveres 64 manifestations of
Lord Shiva.
 Classic Games: Both chess and checkers are played on
boards of 64 squares.
 Ancient Divination: The I Ching comprises 64 hexagrams.
 Sacred Texts: Hinduism references 64 tantras.
 Linguistics: The Chinese language contains characters
with up to 64 strokes.

The recurrence of the number 64, from the microscopic to the


cosmic, emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things and
underscores the significance of the Grid of Life in our
understanding of the universe.

TORUS

When diving into the vast ocean of sacred geometry, one


encounters the enigmatic form known as the Torus. The term
"torus" finds its roots in Latin, translating to "swelling." This
structure, resembling a vortex, is revered as the inaugural form
emanating from the Genesis Pattern. Its significance cannot be
overstated, for it manifests in everything, from minuscule atoms
to magnificent cosmic entities like stars and galaxies. It's a
fundamental blueprint in the architecture of existence.

Historically, spiritual seers have proclaimed that the human aura


manifests as cascading torus structures enveloping our physique.
This energy undulates through our body's core, arching out to
intertwine our feet and crown. This flow isn't unidirectional; it
oscillates between feet and head, tracing the torus's surface and
spiraling within its core. The iconic representation of the torus in
sacred geometry, adorned with curvilinear patterns, mirrors this
spiraled energy flow. It grants a 3D essence to its 2D portrayal.

While the Torus we often visualize is a 2D representation, its true


essence is three-dimensional, resembling what is termed as a
'horn torus' in geometry.

MERKABA

The Merkaba , sometimes spelled "Merkabah," carries a profound


meaning, crystallized in its name, which translates to "light,
spirit, body." At its core, the symbol is a fusion of two
tetrahedrons, interlocked and rotating in opposite directions.
This dynamic intersection is believed to birth an energy field — a
"light body" — that radiates with immense power.

The roots of Merkavah mysticism stretch deep into the annals of


Judaism, with its prime being between 100 BCE and 1000 CE.
This esoteric school drew inspiration from visions encapsulated in
the Book of Ezekiel and the hekhalot literature. Central to these
narratives are celestial ascents, often leading seekers to the very
Throne of God.

What's captivating is that this isn't just a relic of mysticism. Each


individual, it's believed, possesses their personal Merkaba — a
luminous vehicle or chariot. With disciplined meditation, one can
awaken and harness this Merkaba, tapping into its protective
aura and even journeying through higher planes of
consciousness. When we gaze upon the Merkabah, we're
reminded of our innate potential, the power surging within us
when our energy aligns with the Universal Source.

This emblem of harmonized energies has been revered


throughout ages. Ascended masters, it's said, have employed the
Merkabah to bridge the earthly realm with the divine. Modern
esoteric philosophies view it as an interdimensional vessel, often
visualized as a 3-dimensional Star of David, underscoring its
significance as a symbol of unity and ascension.

How is Sacred Geometry Created?


The story of creation in terms of sacred geometry starts with the
idea of a single point, also known as the "Monad" or "Dot." This
single point is seen as representing the beginning of creation,
the first spark of divine energy that gave rise to the universe.
From this single point, all other shapes and forms in sacred
geometry are said to have emerged.
One of the first shapes to emerge from the single point is the
Vesica Piscis. This shape is formed by the intersection of two
circles, with the center of each circle being located at the
circumference of the other. The Vesica Piscis is often seen as a
symbol of the union of spirit and matter, the merging of the
physical and the spiritual, and the creation of the manifested
world. It is also said to represent the beginning of duality, and
the emergence of the masculine and feminine principles.

The next shape to emerge from the single point is the Seed of
Life. This shape is formed by seven circles arranged in a specific
pattern, creating a flower-like shape that is often used to
represent the creation of the universe and the process of life.
The Seed of Life is believed to contain the blueprint of the
universe and the secrets of the creation of life itself. It is seen as
a symbol of the seven days of creation in the Book of Genesis, as
well as the seven chakras in the human body.

The story of creation in terms of sacred geometry is a symbolic


representation of the process of creation, from the initial spark of
divine energy to the emergence of the physical world and the
manifestation of life. The Vesica Piscis and the Seed of Life are
just two examples of the many shapes and forms that are said to
have emerged from the single point, each with their own unique
meanings and symbolism.

The torus is said to emerge from the genesis pattern through a


process of "unfolding" or "unwrapping." This process involves
taking the genesis pattern and pulling or stretching it out into a
three-dimensional shape, creating a torus.

The torus is considered by some to be the next step in the


evolution of the genesis pattern, representing the transition from
the two-dimensional pattern to the three-dimensional shape. It is
also believed to symbolize the transition from the spiritual realm
to the physical realm, as well as the connection between the
inner and outer worlds.

In summary, the torus is said to emerge from the genesis pattern


through the process of "unfolding" or "unwrapping". The genesis
pattern, also known as the "Seed of Life," is a geometric pattern
that is said to represent the beginning of creation and the
formation of all things, the torus is considered by some to be the
next step in the evolution of the genesis pattern, representing
the transition from the two-dimensional pattern to the three-
dimensional shape and symbolizing the connection between the
inner and outer worlds.

THE PLATONIC SOLIDS


The Five Elemental Shapes
Plato talked about five special 3D shapes, known as the Platonic
solids . Each shape is linked to an element: a Cube for Earth, a
Tetrahedron for Fire, an Octahedron for Air, an Icosahedron for
Water, and a Dodecahedron for the mysterious element called
Aether.

Made of Simple Shapes


These special 3D figures are made from basic flat shapes:

 Cube: 6 squares
 Tetrahedron: 4 triangles
 Octahedron: 8 triangles
 Dodecahedron: 12 pentagons
 Icosahedron: 20 triangles

What Makes Them Unique


All five shapes have identical faces and angles. They're also the
only shapes that can perfectly fit inside a sphere, touching the
sphere at each corner.

Perfect Partners
Some of these shapes pair up nicely. The Cube and the
Octahedron go together, and so do the Icosahedron and the
Dodecahedron. The Tetrahedron is unique; it pairs with a flipped
version of itself.

Cosmic Connections
These shapes also connect to other sacred geometry symbols
like Metatron's Cube, emphasizing how everything in geometry is
linked.
Ancient civilizations held a profound reverence for the intricate
science of three-dimensional geometric shapes, a fascination
rooted in the discoveries of Plato, the philosopher who pioneered
the foundation of formal education. The Platonic Solids are
paragons of symmetry, unparalleled by any other conceivable
forms.

In contemporary scientific explorations of hyper-dimensional


models, the recurring appearance of Platonic Solids is
undeniable. Scientists and mathematicians recognize their
quintessential role in constructing higher dimensional
frameworks, given their inherent symmetrical properties. When
seeking to understand and represent the universe's
multidimensional aspects, these shapes serve as foundational
blueprints.

4D GEOMETRY

Transitioning into the realm of 4D, there exist six regular convex
polytopes, which are essentially the higher-dimensional
analogues of the Platonic Solids. While the projections of these
4D shapes into our three-dimensional world can distort their true
geometries, their rendered images nevertheless offer
breathtaking glimpses into the symmetrical harmonies of higher
dimensions.

For readers who are intrigued by the concept of 4D shapes and


want to delve deeper into their fascinating world, we invite you
to explore our dedicated blog post on '4D Shapes. ' This
comprehensive guide provides an in-depth look into these
complex structures, further illuminating the captivating
intersections of mathematics, geometry, and reality.

THE GOLDEN SPIRAL

Intimately intertwined with the golden ratio is the Fibonacci


Sequence, a series of numbers that has long captivated both
mathematicians and nature enthusiasts alike. Its origins trace
back to Indian mathematicians around 700 CE, but it was later
popularized in the West by Leonardo of Pisa, more commonly
known as Fibonacci. He brought this sequence to the forefront of
mathematical discourse in his seminal work, "Liber Abaci."

One of the most awe-inspiring revelations about this sequence is


its omnipresence in the natural world, especially in botanical
forms. Almost magically, the petals of diverse flowers invariably
align with numbers in the Fibonacci series. Similarly, the seed
arrangements in sunflowers and the spiral patterns in pinecones
consistently adhere to Fibonacci numbers, underscoring nature's
inherent mathematical design.
