As a symbol, the vesica represents the same – pure potential. Why? Because the fish bladder is a floating space that is replete with pure potential. Vesica Pisces: Literally, it means “fish bladder.” Way to squelch all the romantic idealism out of metaphysical sacred geometry, eh? Well, in a way, it’s kind of a cool translation. That said, there are core, standard types of sacred geometry, which we’ll get into in a minute. But mostly, since its vague inception, each culture and generation (whether ancient Greek or modern alternative thinkers) have improvised. I found some loose references of sacred geometry augmented by the wise Pythagoras. Apparently, these witty folks started seeing common themes in the design of Nature, and began mirroring these designs to render glorious structures and works of art. Sightings of sacred geometry started popping up around this time in the form of artistic renderings, building designs and household tools and architecture. There is evidence of the discovery of sacred geometry as far back as 2300 BC in Egypt and ancient Mesopotamia. Consider the pyramids…these are epic examples of sacred geometry mimicked by the hand of man.
And who do we have to credit for its discovery? The clever ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians of course (with the ancient Greeks following suit and developing the concept more over time).
This obscure line of science was more discovered rather than invented. That’s why exploring the meaning of sacred geometry can be pretty keen, because getting to know the building blocks of life gives us broad views into the construct of our world and Universe. Let’s face it, all of life is constructed by divine design. So, that’s why I devoted this article on the meaning of sacred geometry. It’s not a fair devotion to the subject of sacred geometry, and honestly, it isn’t as simple to understand as it should be. Now I re-read that pat response and I kick myself in the patootie. It is considered divine (or sacred) because it is the fundamental construct of natural matter – such as skin, leaves, stones, hair, grass, etc.” I wanted to write about the meaning of sacred geometry because I often get asked the question: “What is sacred geometry?” or “What are sacred geometry symbols?” Because my time is short, and concepts like this come to me intuitively, I simply rattle off a response like: “Sacred geometry is a measurable, mathematical formulation that is a pattern upon which all life is built.
