Introduction to Sacred Geometry

“Geometry” comes from the Greek word geometria, meaning, “earth measurement”. The ancient origins of geometry:  when the art was used to lay out patterns on the Earth in order to measure fields and establish the ground plans for sacred structures.  All geometry was sacred in those times, as the Earth was considered a living and holy being and those who measured and patterned it recognized their responsibilities as mediators between people and the Earth. Also, it was recognized that geometry itself offered pathways into the subtle realm of meaning and spirit that we call “sacred”.

Out of these recognitions of sacred possibilities, an extraordinary tradition of wisdom took shape.  It was expressed in many different forms in the cultures that treasured it.  Still, a common thread of insight runs through all expressions of sacred geometry tradition. All knew the need to join geometric theory with its expression in practice.  All knew how to fuse spirit, form and matter into unity through the practice of their art.  All knew that beauty and meaning come from the presence of the living spirit in form and matter.  All saw clearly that this comes through the creative mind from beyond, not from the individual ego and its manipulations.

Sacred Geometry:  the art of using geometric forms as a gateway to the knowledge and presence of the living spirit.
