My first contact with Sacred Geometry starts with the Renaissance artists and their rediscovery of it. Dan Brown pulled together concepts and visual information that artists have been using for centuries and called it “The Da Vinci Code.”  Leonardo, himself, was practicing concepts that date back to Persia, Babylon and Egypt. Da Vinci used these theories for contemporary applications- contemporary to the Renaissance. Making art and architecture in harmony with the magnetic forces of the earth, the origins of Sacred Geometry, can be considered as having their roots with cavepersons. The locations of cave paintings and the manner in which they were painted- all based on those human abilities to sense and flow with earth’s currents.

 

 

The exploration and practice of Sacred Geometry provides new, active ways to better understand God. Dan Brown’s book isn’t an end unto itself; it is merely a starting point. Frankly, I’d rather meet Dan Brown’s EDITOR as opposed to him- in light of trying to get  through “Angels and Demons?” the prequel to “The Da Vinci Code.” “The Da Vinci Code” is an introduction, merely. We shouldn’t ask it to be anything more than that. It is a very exciting introduction. The information regarding Jesus’ marriage to Mary Magdalene and her subsequent gospels, their offspring- are all especially worth exploring and re-considering. It brings new life and interest to the Catholic Church and all religions. “The Da Vinci Code” popularizes discussions and thinking of religion’s place in our daily lives.
