But sacred geometry can be carried to the solid world of 3 dimensions.

As the latter, it encompasses all things cyclical (for example, the Wheel of the Year observed by many pagans), as the very term “cycle” implies. text/html 2019-08-05T19:37:50+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://ecauldron.com/wiki/doku.php?id=geometry:glossary&rev=1565033870&do=diff Glossary of Geometry Terms area—the two-dimensional surface included within a set of lines axis—a straight line that divides a shape symmetrically circumference—the outer boundary of a circle constant—a number that in a given mathematical situation doesn’t change text/html 2019-08-05T15:51:04+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://ecauldron.com/wiki/doku.php?id=geometry:pentagram&rev=1565020264&do=diff The Pentagon & Pentagram: 5, Phi, Harmony Locked within the pentagon—the 5-sided regular polygon—lies its 5-pointed partner, the star-shaped pentagram familiar to Wiccans and pagans of many related paths as their principal symbol.

It’s easy to start seeing it everywhere; yes, these fundamental shapes recur all around us in both nature and human-made works, but to start ascribing hidden meaning to every inst… text/html 2019-08-05T16:00:57+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://ecauldron.com/wiki/doku.php?id=geometry:resources&rev=1565020857&do=diff Recommended Resources for Sacred Geometry These pages have given a basic introduction to sacred geometry. Try the following resources for more information. While lots of valuable knowledge can be gained from them, carefully scrutinize any claims that sacred geometry lies behind some natural phenomenon or work of art or architecture; the claim may or may not measure up! text/html 2019-08-05T15:41:04+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://ecauldron.com/wiki/doku.php?id=geometry:square&rev=1565019664&do=diff The Square: 4, Physicality The square, its even sides intersecting at the straight perpendicular, suggests stability. The square is rock-solid (and, turned on its point, it becomes a diamond, the hardest of rocks). It’s a special case of the rectangle, and rectangles predominate as the shape of the four walls of the rooms and buildings we live in and indeed of the very building blocks so many of those walls are made from.

It can be viewed as finding hidden meaning in the everyday shapes that recur in nature and the world around us; as creating a symbol system through which meaning can be conveyed and esthetic harmony achieved; or both. text/html 2019-08-05T15:36:43+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://ecauldron.com/wiki/doku.php?id=geometry:triangle&rev=1565019403&do=diff The Triangle: 3, Trinity Triple goddesses (e.g., the Wiccan maid, mother, and crone; the Morrigan; the Fates of Greek myth) and gods (the Christian holy trinity; the Hindu trimurti) are scattered throughout the world’s mythologies.

For example, from the union of their Goddess and God, numerous witchcraft traditions believe that all life issues forth. This or any other union of two can be symbolized by the
