Sacred Geometry Oracle
You are the Architect of Your Own Destiny
Expand your awareness of the universal patterns that shape your life with the Sacred Geometry Oracle . Now, for the first time, you can use this ancient wisdom as a tool for meditation, divination, and self-exploration.
When we get to the point, run around in circles, or go off on a tangent, we're already interpreting our lives in geometrical terms. The same sort of awareness can be turned to the subtle and communicative designs of sacred geometry, making them into symbols that serve as a bridge between our intuitive awareness and the world of our experience.
This Oracle
·Thirty-three cards, each bearing an important diagram from the lore of traditional sacred geometry
·
·An illustrated guidebook that presents the meaning of each card, how to cast and interpret readings, and meditation suggestions
·
·Step-by-step exercises for constructing traditional geometric forms and patterns (with the help of your own geometer's compass, straightedge, pencil, and paper), and tool-storing space in the kit box

This book, written by a leading authority on magic and occult philosophy, provides a brief but wide-ranging introduction to the principles of sacred geometry--the ancient science of the relationship between mathematical forms and the underlying structure of the world.
It does this in a new and innovative way: as a handbook for a specially designed pack of 33 cards intended for use in divination, rather in the manner of tarot cards. After a short introduction, the book proceeds to explain each of the cards, with a short description of the geometrical form (The Equilateral Triangle, The Dodecagram, Progression of Roots, and so on), its metaphysical meaning, and its practical divinatory significance. For each card there is also a clear instruction on how to construct the figure using the geometer's traditional tools (basically a school geometry kit), and a guided meditation on the figure. Clear instructions and examples are also given on how to do readings using the cards.
For a book written so simply and clearly there is a lot of depth, and the bibliography opens a door to the hidden continent of sacred geometry, if the reader would like to venture further. So far I have just read the book; I have not yet done the constructions, the meditations, or read the cards. I intend to do so, and I expect that, as always, the results will depend on the effort that I'm willing to apply. But overall I'm impressed and delighted with this book, which is a worthy addition to this author's already valuable body of work.
