I removed the examples of Euler's identity and the collaboration graph, since they don't fit the given definition: they are precisely describably by geometry/algebra and not mere approximations of something deeper. AxelBoldt, Saturday, March 30, 2002
Removed this
None of them to my knowledge has expressed the idea that there exist geometries which are beyond algebraic description or human comprehesive. This sounds to me like "Dancing Wu-Li Master"/"Tao of Physics" nonsense.
This whole article seems highly questionable to me (what on earth is "neo-Platonic geometry"???) and it either needs a serious overhaul, clarification, and references to some legitimate publications, or else deletion. Revolver 06:13, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
For the record, the user Critical ( talk, contributions), who slapped the "disputed NPoV" sticker on this page, has made his or her first edits tonight (or today) and within less than two hours has attacked eight articles for PoV, including (ironically given the CStar example given on the Logical fallacy talk page), Physical law. These were the only "edits" (plus weak justifications on talk pages in the same vein as this one). I don't think the PoV claim has merit. We may ask if this series of attacks is to be taken seriously.
For the following reasons I am thinking that these pages has been the victim of a tiresome semi-sophisticated troll and the PoV sticker should be removed sooner rather than later, if not immediately. We may note that CStar ( talk, contributions) after making edits, paused during the period user Critical made edits, and then CStar took up responding to these edits after the series of user Critical edits ends, as if there is only one user involved, and the user logged out, changed cookies and logged back in. Further, user CStar left a note on Charles Matthew's talk page, Chalst's talk page, and Angela's talk page pointing to a supposed PoV accusation placed on the Logical argument page, when in fact no such sticker has been placed. Perhaps the irony regarding the Physical law page is not so ironic. Hu 05:18, 2004 Dec 1 (UTC)
This does seem to be an odd page. At least three notions are conflated: the notion of sacred geometry as used in archaeology and the history of architecture; a rather vague idea that some mystical, semi-mystical, and other religious traditions use geometrical shapes in their teachings and literature; and an even vaguer gesture towards real philosophy of mathematics which isn't explained (the reference to Plato is extremely misleading). None of the the claims in the article is substantiated, the only source provided being a rather loopy "Geomancy" Web site.
Surely this article need to be substantially rewritten (or removed altogether, and any useful information added to articles on the subjects conflated here). I've added a rewrite template to the page itself. If I get the chance I'll do some of this myself, but if anyone were to beat me to it I'd not grumble.

Or those with information that does not fit Wikipedia's NPOV style. We would be glad to have you add it in to a conspiracy wiki site I run. There is a link to sacred geometry on the main page and I just copied the article over. You can find a link to the site on my page. Conwiki 02:48, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
I've added a book link (Robert Lawlor) to the main page. This excellent, popular and serious book could be taken to define what the concept "sacred geometry" really means. I think it's a very good concept capturing a certain aspect of various human cultures, and I think a good article on this belongs to a good modern encyclopedia. If nothing else, then a brief summary of the book would be good. Who can write that? -- Niels Ø 12:29, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
What would be an example of non-sacred geometry? Seventhpower 05:06, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Is this what is being said?
Geometry exists.
Observers observe geometry.

Geometry itself is not sacred.
The observer’s observation of geometry is sacred.
The discover’s discovery of geometry is sacred.
God exists.
Language exists.
Religion exists.
Sacred geometry is a language.
Sacred geometry communicates.

Graphic representations symbolize religious or cultural values.
Geometry symbolizes religious or cultural values.
Religious or cultural values are ideas.
Graphical representations represent mathematical relationships.
Geometry represents mathematical relationships.
...graphical representation of [the mathematical relationships and (of) the design] or ...value to [the graphical representation and (to) the design]?
...design [that symbolizes] or ... manmade objects [that symbolize]?
What’s the difference between geometry and graphical representations?
What’s the difference between geometry and designs?
What’s the difference between geometry and manmade objects that symbolize?
What is meant by “mathematical relationships?”
Mathematics is the science of measurement. In order to have mathematical relationships, you have to have two or more measurements, or a measurement and a calculation. What are you measuring?
Is the Golden Ratio sacred geometry to some and non-sacred geometry to others?
Are the examples of the use of the Golden Ratio sacred geometry to some and non-sacred to others?

Why do crop circles represent order, but crop straight-rows do not represent order?
Straight rows of wheat don't communicate anything.

This article is pretty shocking NPOV-wise, I've added a template on the page and propose that unless someone is willing to give it a substantial re-write it be deleted. Graphia 08:59, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
I have inserted some material relating the topic to historical (ancient and medieval) ideas and beliefs, which is a large part of its significance, and explaining the links which were believed to exist between geometry, music, cosmology and temple design/religious art. Added in some refs to Pythagoras, Kepler and other historical believers in the cosmological significance of geometry. Hopefully I have been sufficiently NPOV and factual. Also added reference to Celtic design and the classic George Bain book. He doesn't discuss theory to a great degree but does demonstrate that the sacred art of both ancient and medieval Celts was closely based on geometric constructions. MikeRM 03:39, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
I added edits of my own: some information on contemporary usage of sacred geometry, including information on the Flower of Life Workshops, the MERU foundation; Michael Schneider's book to the book list. I also removed the initial paragraph: 'Sacred geometry is geometry that is sacred to the observer or discoverer of the geometry. This meaning is sometimes described as being the language of the God of the religion of the people who discovered or used it.' This just seemed too fluffy without any real content. Blade 19:52, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
I removed 'Crop Circles' from Art and Architecture. I don't think it belongs in that section. Plus, it wasn't formatted correctly. Blade 17:23, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I removed the links to Soul Symbol until that article has more references/substance. Alsi, I re-organized the external links and removed the Kepler links, as the links in the text seem sufficient. Blade 18:56, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Is there any need for the section regarding the Manitoba Assembly Building? There has to be a more relevant example of sacred geometry in Architecture.
Removed link to Earthmandalakeepers.com as an ad link. Blade 02:39, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Reverted edits to the intro after 31 August 2006 for distinct lack of NPOV and not actually addressing the tone or content of the article. Blade 16:00, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't know who wrote this page, but it would be well to inform him or her that scientific work established on geometries, symmetries and super symmetries are very much alive! keppler was certainly not the last of 'a dying breed' as the article suggests.
Further, this article is strangely critical of a mathematical and geometrical explanation of phenomena. very strange indeed. there is nothing 'superstitious or uneducated' about the golden ratio. the aesthetics of the golden ration is accepted by most including artists. Please do not attribute scientific knowledge to be unscientific!
I would agree with the former. Upon a first read I felt the writer's sneer quite palpably. I would say that a good many of the folks interested in SG are drawn to it from a sense of wonder and an aesthetic appreciation for The Great Way of Things which does not have to imply a soft-headed, "New Age", sensibility. For some of us the "ordinary" is far more profound and inspiring (read: "sacred") than any promises of the transcendental. 8/10/07 earrach
Someone posted "This is not true" at the end of the music section. I have removed it. However, if anyone has citations for or against that section, please chime in! Blade 23:24, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
"a ratio of 2/3 produced a fifth and 3/4 produced a fourth." I have no citation, but how does 2/3 produce a perfect fifth and 3/4 produce a perfect fourth? A fifth would be higher up on the string than the fourth.
http://users.pandora.be/kenneshugo/index.html is a website containing translations of representative topics out of the 10 books in Dutch of Prof. Thijs , Engeneering , Belgian University and High School of Hasselt. This books describe the pyramids sacred geometry as full compatible with the laws of our positive sciences. He gives a mathematical and astronomical explanation of the pyramidal model. He also decodes the explicit number metaphors in the Bible Ancient and New Testament, reflecting exactly the maths and geometry of the Great Pyramid model.
Sacred geometry may be understood as a worldview of pattern recognition, a complex system of hallowed attribution and signification that may subsume religious and cultural values to the fundamental structures and relationships of such complexes as space, time and form.
Am I the only person who notices that when bullshit artists are at work, sentences pop up that have no decipherable semantic meaning?
Let me just try to translate this into English. "Sacred geometry may be understood as... making shit up." I think I did a good job there. -- 75.63.48.18 ( talk) 07:03, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, what is the subject? Are we talking about the motivation for some architecture (maybe true) or someone's off-the-wall new age theory (file under flake)? As I recollect, the proportions for Notre Dame de Paris were based on Suger's neoplatonist predilections, so there is a potential for an encyclopedia article there, but I suppose the best fate for the rest of it is to lose it. m.e.

It would be nice to have this article include more information on sacred geometry as expressed by Islamic Design. I was going to add a link to an article I wrote about Moroccan geometric mosaics, but saw no more links allowed on this page. Suggestions on how to fold the Islamic angle (geometric/non-representational art) into the article? Moroccan design, in my view, is even more primal/related to old geometric practices because of its location as an outpost of various empires (Roman, Phonecian, Arabic, Berber (not outpost, but "forgotten" culture))
Link I was going to add is: http://moroccandesign.com/moroccan-mosaics-the-art-of-zillij

"Sacred geometry is the study of shapes and angles that appear in nature and represent the blueprint of creation. It is the pattern of energy that forms naturally in nature and has been studied by metaphysicians and architects, and was used by the builder's of Solomon's Temple and all the great Cathedrals. These patterns form naturally in molecules of water, snowflakes, pinecones, DNA, stars, galaxies and space, virtually everywhere... Sacred geometry is the silent language of the energy of the Universe... it is the building block of the entire Universe." - The Magdalene Awakening by L. Shannon Anderson (Sacred Escape, 2008) 64.136.26.22 ( talk) 16:10, 30 August 2010 (UTC)Brad Watson, Miami, FL
This article is overly bland. My diagnosis is that it is too POV neutral! Less provocatively stated, there should be multiple articles on sacred geometry as it is practiced in the major cultures where (some form of) geometrical design is considered sacred. Within the context of a given culture, it should be possible to intelligently discuss in rich detail such concepts as celestial alignments, sky geometry replicated in sacred structures, land enchantment alignments (ley lines), tessellations, calligraphic designs, encoding of "lucky" or significant numbers or ratios in designs, as appropriate to the culture.

I have to repeat – Really? Sacred geometry is a relationship between the c. 500 BCE pythagorean geometry and c. 1900 CE quantum mechanics.
This edit by a new user added pseudoscience to the article.
Sacred geometry is used as a religious, philosophical, and spiritual term to explain the fundamental laws of the universe covering pythagorean geometry vand neo-Platonic gometry, as well as the perceived relationships between geometrical laws and quantum mechanics laws of the universe that create the geometrical patterns in nature.Many Gothic cathedrals were built using proportions derived from the geometry inherent in the cube and double-cube; this tradition continues in modern Christian churches to the present time.

It is referenced with a link to an occult magic shop's website as the source. It is at least some kind of logical fallacy to claim that sacred geometries explain the fundamental laws of the universe
