Pennick explores how sacred geometry shaped temples, pyramids, ziggurats, and cathedrals, showing how builders encoded metaphysical knowledge into architecture and ritual objects. He shares accounts of sacred geometry in Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Israel, and Greece, as well as its influence on Medieval and Renaissance architecture, Freemasonry, and Baroque city planning. You will learn practical ways to apply this knowledge by crafting geometric sigils and amulets, and how to use proportional systems for harmonious design.
By connecting ancient traditions with modern discoveries, the author shows how sacred geometry remains a foundation for meaningful architecture and spiritual understanding. In addition, Pennick provides you with tools to integrate sacred geometry into your personal, spiritual, and creative practices.
This concise guide to basic practices and timeless principles reveals the enduring significance of sacred geometry as a bridge between the material and the spiritual worlds.
