Freemasonry & Sacred Geometry
"Sacred geometry is a term used to describe repeating patterns found in the natural world from the subatomic to the galactic and beyond. These patterns have been recognized since the earliest days of recorded history and duplicated in art, architecture, and philosophy. Sacred geometry is also incorporated into Masonic ritual and teaching and forms the basis for many common Masonic symbols. This is emphasized to us as new Fellowcrafts when we are introduced to the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences, arrested by the fifth science, or Geometry, and reminded that this science treats the powers and properties of magnitudes in general. It is noteworthy that the word magnitudes is capitalized in the Manual of Work thus hinting at the significance of the concept. We are then informed that the superstructure of Masonry is erected upon geometry and that by geometry we may trace the windings of nature to her most concealed recesses and discover the power, wisdom, and goodness of the Grand Artificer of the Universe."
