Product Description

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 includes:

·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 tools: compass, straightedge, pencil, and paper), and tool-storing space in the kit box
·

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavenly Inspired, April 23, 2007

By	Mark Rossi "Energy Consciousness" (Melbourne Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I highly recommend this Sacred Geometry Oracle. The cards are fantastic and the companion book helps understand how each symbol may significant to you. This book can help guide you if you are a begineer, regular practioner or advanced.

In nature, we find patterns, designs and structures from the most minuscule particles, to expressions of life discernible by human eyes, to the greater cosmos. These inevitably follow geometrical archetypes, which reveal to us the nature of each form and its vibrational resonances. They are also symbolic of the underlying metaphysical principle of the inseparable relationship of the part to the whole. It is this principle of oneness underlying all geometry that permeates the architecture of all form in its myriad diversity. This principle of interconnectedness, inseparability and union provides us with a continuous reminder of our relationship to the whole, a blueprint for the mind to the sacred foundation of all things created.

4.0 out of 5 stars What Your Geometry Teacher Should Have Told You, July 6, 2009

By	Thomas F. Vallowe "Tom Vallowe" (SF Bay area, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I remember Geometry as being the second most boring class in high school, Algebra being the worst. I got this oracle because I liked the look of the cards. Not pretty pictures of kings and queens and knights, like a standard tarot deck, but simple geometric forms that kind of glow and reach out to you. The exercises in the enclosed book are simple to do and put me in the mindset of a ancient geometer. With a few basic tools--pencils, straight edge, etc., you can draw all the forms illustrated on these cards. I'm sure you can go deeper into this subject, but for a novice like me, this was great beginning. As for being an oracle, I am not into divination and do not use it as such, so you're on your own as far as that goes. My main gripes are that the box it came in started coming apart on day one, and I had to find another box so I wouldn't lose my cards. I also think that the book was missing a page. This book-card set is not like a tarot deck, but is for those who like a hands-on form of "yoga." If you are into yantras or mandalas, you might give this a try.

My advise is, don't buy this deck. There are better ones on the market.
