Construct sacred geometric patterns step by step using compass-and-straightedge methods. The Flower of Life, the Vesica Piscis, and patterns that have been drawn for millennia.
The Vesica Piscis is the almond-shaped intersection formed when two circles of equal radius overlap so that the centre of each lies on the circumference of the other. It is the geometry of creation, the womb from which all other sacred forms emerge. Found in the Chalice Well cover at Glastonbury and in countless medieval church windows, this is the foundational construction of sacred geometry.
The Flower of Life is a geometric figure composed of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles arranged in a hexagonal pattern with six-fold symmetry. It has been found carved into the granite of the Temple of Osiris at Abydos in Egypt, on the walls of Assyrian palaces, in Chinese temples, and etched into stone across the ancient world. It is considered by many traditions to contain the fundamental patterns of space and time.
The Seed of Life is a figure of seven circles with six-fold symmetry, formed by drawing six circles on the circumference of an original central circle. It is the inner heart of the Flower of Life and represents the seven days of creation in many spiritual traditions. Each circle can be understood as a stage of genesis, from unity through polarity into the fullness of manifest form.
The Golden Spiral is a logarithmic spiral whose growth factor is the golden ratio, phi (approximately 1.618). It appears in nautilus shells, hurricane formations, spiral galaxies, and the arrangement of seeds in a sunflower head. This construction uses the golden rectangle — a rectangle whose side lengths are in the golden ratio — and subdivides it into successively smaller squares and rectangles, drawing quarter-circle arcs to form the spiral.
Metatron's Cube is a sacred geometric figure derived from the Fruit of Life — thirteen circles taken from the Flower of Life. By connecting the centres of all thirteen circles with straight lines, a complex figure emerges that contains within it all five Platonic solids: the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. Named after the archangel Metatron, this figure is considered a map of creation itself, encoding the fundamental forms from which all matter is built.
