Sacred Geometry

Draws ten figures (the vesica piscis, Seed, Flower and Fruit of Life, Metatron’s Cube, the Platonic solids, the merkaba, the Sri Yantra, the enneagram and the golden spiral) with measurements, origins, and which meanings are modern. Plato’s Timaeus gives four regular solids to the elements and the fifth to the cosmos; Euclid (Elements XIII.18) proves there are only five; the enneagram first appeared in Ouspensky (1949).
