GEOMANCY AND SACRED GEOMETRY

Geomancy literally means ‘divining the earth’ and is founded in various disciplines, such as dowsing, astronomy (astrology) and sacred geometry, which essentially deals with our perception and definition of space.

In ancient times, when stone circles were being built, and in early Christian times people knew that spaces constructed using the principles of sacred geometry acted as a bridge between the worlds, and built their ceremonial structures and religious temples (churches) based on sacred geometric principles to enhance the energies within. One can relate this to our lives today - whenever we wish to commune with our Gods, meditate, worship, contact our higher selves, whatever name we give to the practice; we tend to disassociate ourselves from the everyday mundane world by going to a place that has some spiritual meaning for us. Whether this is a church, temple, stone ring or simply a corner of our bedroom, the concept is the same. Most of these places (with the possible exception of the last) are sacred spaces constructed using sacred geometry.

To the masons who raised the great gothic cathedrals and other places of worship, sacred geometry was paramount importance to the construction; indeed no religious establishment could be expected to function properly without it. The spaces are designed to be uplifting to the spirit, to resonate on a subconscious level, in such a way that many of these structures possess extraordinary acoustic properties, a result of the inter-related harmonic structure behind both music and geometry. Certain types of music were designed to be sacred geometry you can hear, so it is little wonder the buildings resonate with it.
