Sacred geometry

Sacred geometry refers to the study of geometric shapes, patterns, and symbols that are considered sacred or spiritually significant in various cultures and traditions. These shapes, such as the Fibonacci spiral, flower of life, and metatron's cube, are believed to hold profound spiritual and metaphysical meanings, reflecting the underlying order and harmony of the universe. The term "sacred geometry" is derived from the Greek words "sacred" (ἱερός, hieros) and "geometry" (γεωμετρία, geōmetria), which translates to "earth measurement." In Hebrew, the term can be translated as גאומטריה קדושה (geometria kdusha). Similar terms in other languages include geometría sagrada in Spanish, géométrie sacrée in French, and sakrale geometrie in German. Sacred geometry is often used in the design of sacred spaces, such as temples, churches, and mosques, and is also employed in various spiritual practices, including meditation, yoga, and ritual ceremonies. It is believed that these geometric patterns can help individuals connect with the divine, achieve spiritual enlightenment, and understand the deeper mysteries of existence.
