Sacred Geometry



The term sacred geometry refers to geometric patterns found in everything in our Universe. The nautilus shell, snowflakes, flowers, and even human beings all portray these geometries. The basic belief is that these geometric patterns and mathematical ratios, harmonics and proportion are also found in music, light and cosmology. This system also depicts the universality of the human condition and our connection to everything in the Universe.

In ancient cultures it was considered foundational in the design of sacred structures such as temples, mosques, megaliths, monuments and cathedrals as well as sacred spaces such as altars, temenoi and tabernacles. It can be observed in religious art, iconography and sand paintings.


Sacred geometry has been used for thousands of years to create a complex system of religious symbols and structures involving space, time and form. By connecting with these, a viewer is compelled to contemplate the Great Mysteries, and the Great Design. 


Below are some videos which explain the concept of sacred geometry. Its mind blowing.
