Sacred Geometry

Exploration of geometric patterns and proportions considered sacred across world cultures — from the Platonic solids of ancient Greece to the fractal patterns of African villages, from Islamic geometric art to Hindu yantras and the Flower of Life.

Scope#

• Platonic Solids — the five regular polyhedra and their philosophical significance
• Flower of Life & Seed of Life — overlapping circle patterns found across ancient cultures
• Metatron's Cube — 13-circle figure connecting all Platonic solids

• Islamic Geometric Art — tessellations, muqarnas, and the infinite pattern tradition
• African Fractal Patterns — Ron Eglash's research on fractal geometry in African architecture, textiles, and braiding
• Hindu Yantras — Sri Yantra and meditation diagrams as geometric spiritual tools
• Fibonacci Sequence — in nature, music, and spiritual symbolism
