sacred geometry
Spiritual mathematical forms
Sacred geometry refers to geometric patterns, shapes, and proportions believed to have spiritual, symbolic, or mystical significance.
Practitioners find divine meaning in forms like the golden ratio, Fibonacci spiral, flower of life, and Platonic solids, viewing them as evidence of underlying cosmic order or intelligent design in nature.
The concept spans religious traditions—appearing in cathedral rose windows, Islamic tilework, and Hindu mandalas—and has gained popularity in New Age spirituality and contemporary art.
The tattoo artist specialized in sacred geometry designs.
