Sacred Geometry Symbols Meanings
BUDDHIST WHEEL OF LIFE
The Dharma Wheel, Dharmachakra, or Wheel of Dharma, is one of the many sacred teachings of Buddhism and other Indian religions, such as Hinduism and Jainism. It is one of the most important and sacred symbols in the Buddhist faith as it represents Buddha's teachings.
"The 8 spokes in the 8 spoke wheel represent the 8 fold path.
They are:
1. Right View
2. Right Intention
3. Right Speech
4. Right Action
5. Right Livelihood
6. Right Effort
7. Right Mindfulness
8 Right Concentration
It is one of the oldest Buddhist symbols.
It is sometimes used to represent the Buddha."
While there are many variations of the Dharma Wheel, they are usually depicted with eight spokes and are gold in color. Three shapes are depicted within the center of the wheel, typically a Yin Yang shape, wheel or circle.
The Dharmachakra meaning generally refers to a typical Dharma Wheel with eight spokes - representing the Eightfold Path - and is the oldest, universal symbol for Buddhism. There are multiple ways of interpreting the Dharma Wheel so there are several meanings behind the symbol. There are three different parts that make up the Dharma Wheel: the spokes, the hub, and the rim.
The rim of the Dharma Wheel further signifies the ability to hold all of the teachings together by meditating and concentrating. The circular shape of the wheel symbolizes the perfection of Buddha's teachings.
The hub in the center of the Dharma Wheel represents moral discipline. The three swirling shapes on the hub, often depicted in blue, yellow and red, symbolize Dharma, Buddha, and Sangha respectively. They are also known as the Three Treasures or Jewels.

CROP CIRCLE VORTEX
This design is based on the Crop Circle found on Milk Hill, nr Alton Barnes, Wiltshire. England. August 13, 2001
The crop circle noticed on Milk Hill in Wiltshire (Southern England) on August 13, 2001 is being hailed as the most awesome ever made. It is composed of 409 individual circles in a spiral pattern. Appropriately, it was found in the heart of crop circle country in the United Kingdom.
FLOWER OF LIFE
Flower of Life belongs to Sacred Geometry which believes that all life is part of a divine, geometric plan. All structures known to us are following this plan. Many see in the Flower of Life a symbol that represents or depicts the cycle of creation. This symbol shows that all life and consciousness arises from one source (this being the first circle).
GANESH
Ganesh is the Hindu Lord of wisdom, intelligence, education, prudence, good fortune and writing. He is also sometimes called Ganesha or Ganapati. He is best known as the "remover of obstacles", and as such can be invoked before the undertaking of any new enterprise with such incantations as
"Aum Shri Ganeshaya Namah" (Hail the name of Ganesha)
GLYPH
This exercise is taken from John Matthew’s Book The Sidhe - Wisdom from the Celtic Underworld.
In preface to the exercise John writes:
“It was made clear to me from the start that the use of the Great Glyph was not for me alone. Others could use it and were to be encouraged to do so. As with the rest of the Sidhe material, I was hesitant at first regarding the validity of offering this method of communication to the world. But again and again, my communicator assured me that no harm would come to those who used it, while knowledge of the kind I had myself received would be offered to those who sought such gifts with a true desire for self-fulfillment. “To those who approach these matters simply from idle curiosity or with uncertain motives, nothing will come of their use of the Glyph,” my communicator stated when I asked about this.”
The Exercise
Place the image of the Glyph in front of you where you can see it from a comfortable chair.
“If you desire you might light two candles, placing one on either side of the picture. Then, seating yourself in your chair, study the Glyph for a while, allowing it to sink into your mind while stilling your thoughts. When you feel ready and sufficiently relaxed, close your eyes and follow wherever the Glyph leads. This may take a few attempts before you get anything, but persevere, especially if you are unused to meditation. It is a good idea to have a pen and paper ready to write down anything that comes to you. It is also worthwhile stating here that whatever you see or hear may bear little resemblance to my own communications. My understanding of the Sidhe’s words give me to believe that each and every person perceives and understands things differently. So, if you find yourself speaking to a being who looks and sounds different from the being described by me, don’t think this is an indication of failure. Keep working with the images that arise and follow where they lead.”

GOLDEN FIRE RINGS
*All information is from Brian Besco at www.TwistedSage.com*
The Golden Fire Rings contain all the highest aspects of ALL of our previous tools!!!
Yet so much more!!!
About the Golden Fire Rings:
Cubit Measure based on new geometries coming onto the planet
discovered and anchored in by Brenda Schnose.
Activates the Sacred Heart-
This is the golden flaming heart with the tri-fold flames that Jesus and Mary walk with, and is different from the Sacred Space of the Heart that we have traditionally worked with.
Activates the Quantum Mind-
Opens the right hemisphere of the brain, balances the hemispheres, activating the Pineal and connecting to the Quantum Mind.
For the Sacred Heart and Quantum Mind activations to take place, one is first taken to the Quantum Void of infinite possibilities for cleaning, clearing, and healing.
The Quantum Void is the space of the Three by Three. If you are unfamiliar with that process, there is an audio at the bottom of the page for an explanation and meditation, though is not needed to get the benefits from the Golden Fire tools. (https://shop.twistedsage.com/products/golden-fire-rings#learn-more)
In the process, your entire Soul Spark, from Source and back to Source, is anchored within the human.
Your Light, now anchored in the heart, dissolves away the basement floor of the heart and automatically clears the cords and contracts that held us anchored into the old world.
Creation of the Golden Fire Ring-
The measure was shown as a neon-blue light-rod, and bent into a circle where it became golden-light. The first Rings that were made with this measure were causing tremendous releasing in people, and had to come with a disclaimer. The Rings caused a reaction in some, as the doors were opened and were triggered with more junk to release. It was nothing that couldn't be worked out, people just had to know what was going on and how to do the clearing work for release.
A couple weeks later, on August 31st of 2017, Brenda and I held space using the Three by Three, and the subsequent activations and clearings we do with that process, to anchor into the Etheric Template of the Golden Fire Rings. This allowed the automatic clearing and release to be done for the person with the Golden Fire tools. Brenda then brought through the Activations and Attunements for the Sacred Heart and Quantum Mind into the Etheric Templates of the Golden Fire Rings!!!
With the Sacred Heart Activation, many report a burning in the chest as things are burned away, then Cool Clear Waters come flowing through.
Some will note a pulsing on the head afterward, a Crown of Fire. This is a very sacred initiation but open for all who would receive it.
This entire process could happen immediately, or over time.
When you wear the Golden Fire tools the energy field they produce acts as a reminder.
The tools remind you of the Activation,
Reminds the inner Being that you have the Sacred Heart, so you can continue to use it.
So many Activations you may receive, but do you use them?
This is an important tool to use, your Sacred Heart...
GOLDEN RATIO
Throughout history, the ratio for length to width of rectangles of 1.61803 39887 49894 84820 has been considered the most pleasing to the eye. This ratio was named the golden ratio by the Greeks. In the world of mathematics, the numeric value is called "phi", named for the Greek sculptor Phidias. The golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion, golden mean, or golden section, is a number ... is an abbreviation of the Greek tome, meaning "to cut". The famous Fibonacci sequence has captivated mathematicians, artists, designers, and scientists for centuries. Also known as the Golden Ratio, its ubiquity and astounding functionality in nature suggests its importance as a fundamental characteristic of the Universe. The Fibonacci sequence starts like this: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 and so on forever. Each number is the sum of the two numbers that precede it. It's a simple pattern, but it appears to be a kind of built-in numbering system to the cosmos.
HAMSA
The Hamsa Hand is an ancient Middle Eastern amulet symbolizing the Hand of God. In all faiths it is a protective sign. It brings its owner happiness, luck, health, and good fortune. The hamsa hand has a wide variety of different spellings which includes hamesh, hamsa, chamsa, and khamsa. Hand facing down also brings fertility and answers to prayers and manifestations. Often, in this position, the fingers are closed together to bring good luck. When the Hamsa hand is facing up, it is a universal sign against evil.
HUNAB KU
Hunab Ku [huˈnaɓ ku] is considered to be the supreme Mayan God "The One God" and is also referred to as the Architect of the Universe and the Center of the Galaxy. ‘Hunab’ meaning ‘one state of being’ and ‘Ku’ meaning ‘God.’ It encompasses all opposites in the universe and unites them as one: male and female, dark and light, yin, and yang, conscious and unconscious, internal and external—the list goes on. Some believe that the Hunab Ku acts as a bridge to connect these opposites.
The Hunab Ku symbol is a testament to the belief that it can unite the opposing forces. It can be likened to the yin-yang symbol, with black spirals on one side, and white spirals on the other. It can be used to achieve balance and harmony in life because of its intrinsic powers of uniting or bridging opposites. It can also be used to connect one’s inner being with one’s external body or to achieve oneness with the universe. The indigenous peoples call it "The Galactic Butterfly". Butterflies are seen as ancestors returning for a visit to physicality. Wearing one of these symbols is very powerful as it broadcasts your reaching to actively join the consciousness of our galaxy.
LABYRINTH
The Classical Seven Circuit Cretan Labyrinth is believed to be the oldest labyrinth design in history. It is a symbol of the spiritual journey to the center and an outward sign of the inner pilgrimage. The basic Labyrinth design – a single path winding in and out until the center is reached, is found from Cornwall England to the Hopi Indians, from cathedrals in Europe to modern day uses by churches, hospitals, and even spiritual centers.
Unlike a maze, the labyrinth is unicursal – it has only a single, non-branching path, which leads to the center and then back out the same way, with only one entry/exit point. The labyrinth can be used as a tool for personal, psychological and spiritual transformation.
LOTUS
The Lotus flower is regarded in many different cultures, especially in eastern religions, as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration and rebirth. Its characteristics are a perfect analogy for the human condition: even when its roots are in the dirtiest waters, the Lotus produces the most beautiful flower.
The Buddha is sometimes depicted sitting on a Lotus flower, symbolizing the one who overcame the pain of what prevails in the material world and became enlightened, just like the Lotus flower which starts to grow in the dirty and muddy water but manages to surpass the water and produce a perfect flower. Many Hindu gods are depicted sitting or standing on a Lotus flower for the same reason.
MERKABA
The word Merkaba is actually composed of three separate words: Mer, which means light, Ka, which means spirit and Ba, which means Body. Put together, these three words connote the union of spirit with the body, surrounded by light. The symbol, which takes the shape of a star, is believed to be a divine vehicle made entirely of light and designed to transport or connect the spirit and body to higher realms. Ancient Jewish texts reveal that the word is also the Hebrew for a chariot, and the Bible reveals that the word Merkaba itself is found in the Old Testament a total of 44 times.
Used in meditation, the Merkaba can become a source of power and enlightenment. It can help a person realize his full potential and connect with the goodness in him, as well as the higher being. This field of light, love, and goodwill can also extend to others, thereby enveloping them in the same healing energy. The Merkaba can also be used to transcend to other dimensions and realities.
METATRON
This complex Sacred Geometry structure –“Metatron's Cube”, is derived from the ancient structure of the Flower of Life. It is named after the Archangel Metatron. Metatron is in charge of all of creation and is considered an Archangel as well as a judge. In sacred geometry, Archangel Metatron oversees a cube, which represents how God's creative energy flows throughout the universe.
OM MANDALA
'Om', 'Ohm' or 'Aum' is a sacred sound that is known generally as the sound of the universe. ... The Om symbol represents the sound in a visual form and has a lot of meaning behind it. Om is one of the most important spiritual symbols and is found throughout many ancient Hindu texts, prayers and ceremonies.
PENTAGRAM / PENTACLE
The Pentagram, also called a pentacle or Pentalpha, gets its name from the Greek penta, meaning “five” and gramma, meaning “a letter”. It is a five-pointed figure, constructed by intersected five straight lines. Often the terms Pentacle and Pentagram are used interchangeably, but there is a slight difference between the two. Some people believe that a Pentagram is not circled, while a Pentacle has the star enclosed by a circle. Still, others say that a Pentagram is a diagram or drawing of the star and is referred to as a Pentacle only when it takes the form of a physical object. The Pentacle/Pentagram has been one of the most persistent and powerful symbols in our history and was revered by nearly all ancient cultures, be it Egyptian, Greek, Babylonian, Chinese, Indian or Mayan. It is one of the oldest symbols on Earth and is known to have been used as early as 4000 years B.C.
The mystic icon is considered to hold several layers of symbolism. It is viewed as a symbol of life, love, light, unity, wholeness, and quest for divine knowledge. The Pentacle has always been associated with divine protective powers and was used for protection from the evil forces, demons, etc. It is considered to be representative of the five elements from which man is made, namely fire, air, water, earth and spirit. It is usually associated with the "sacred feminine" or "divine goddess", femininity, knowledge and it is also used in Wiccan and Celtic religions.
PHILOSOPHER’S STONE
The philosopher's stone, or stone of the philosophers is a legendary alchemical substance capable of turning base metals such as mercury into gold or silver. It is also called the elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and for achieving immortality; for many centuries, it was the most sought goal in alchemy. The philosopher's stone was the central symbol of the mystical terminology of alchemy, symbolizing perfection at its finest, enlightenment, and heavenly bliss. Efforts to discover the philosopher's stone were known as the Magnum Opus ("Great Work").
REIKI
Reiki is a spiritual healing art with its roots in Japanese origin. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means “Universal Life” and (Ki) which means “Energy”. Reiki is not affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice. It is not massage nor is it based on belief or suggestion. It is a subtle and effective form of energy work using spiritually guided life force energy. Reiki is the life energy that flows through all living things.
SCARAB
Scarab beetles symbolized eternal life and rebirth. Because of this, scarab beetles held great religious power. Why? If you could be reborn, it meant you could live for all eternity, which was a pretty good deal. In Egyptian mythology, a scarab-headed god called Kephri was responsible for rolling the sun across the sky all day, then pushing it over the edge of the horizon to its death every night. The next morning Kephri would rebirth the sun by rolling it back up into the sky from the opposite horizon. How did the scarab beetle earn such an amazing myth? Ancient Egyptians saw the 'magical' way beetles produce offspring, which you can read more about below. From this, they decided that beetles embodied the cycle of creation. Scarab amulets would lend the sacred beetle's power to the wearer. They offered a person magical protection against the dangers of this world, as well as those of the next.
SEED OF LIFE
The Seed of Life is a symbol for the seven days of creation. It is found in all major religions and can be seen in many sites e.g. Synagogues, churches, Kabbalah prayer books, and of course, the ancient Osirian temple in Abydos Egypt, the source of all the major religions and mystical studies. The Seed of Life is a symbol of blessing and protection passed through generations; it contains the secret of the seven days of the creation. It is a common ornament for fertility for women during pregnancy or trying to Conceive.
SHREE YANTRA
Considered as one of the oldest, purest and strongest symbols, the Sri (or Shree) Yantra benefits and powers should help us to fulfill our desires and make our lives better. Shree means wealth and Yantra means instrument. It is meant to bring us wealth, both in the spiritual and material realm. It should also bring us peace, strength, and success. It should help to remove obstacles in life and bad influences. Its structure reflects the cosmic plan and symbolizes the highest form of consciousness.
SPIRAL GALAXY
This Spiral Galaxy symbolizes both the macro spiral movements of stars and planets as they orbit in spiral patterns around their bi-polar opposites, as well as the micro spiral life patterns of the double helix in the molecular structure of helical DNA.
As an energy vortex that can complement the forces that generate its inherent reactive and sustainable pattern, the springlike patterned movement of spiral energy within the predictable and reliable projections show a sacred and common pattern found throughout nature, astronomy and physics.
STAR OF DAVID
Most frequently, the star is associated with the number seven (derived from the six points plus the center). This number has considerable religious significance in Judaism, which can be noted in several examples including the six days of Creation plus the seventh day of rest, as well as the Seven Archangels of God. In the same vein, the Star of David may have evolved as an abstract symbol of the Menorah (the more traditional symbol for Judaism that once stood in the Temple of Jerusalem), due to its association with light as well as its geometric organization into 3+3+1, which corresponds to the seven branches of the Menorah.
SUN AND MOON
The circular shape alone is a symbol of the never ending circle of life. Placing a half moon and half sun inside the circle supplies even more meaning. The sun is often recognized as a symbol of rebirth, strength and power. The moon is associated with the female in many cultures often in the form of a goddess. In astrology language, your Sun sign dictates your zodiac personality, while your Moon sign, the second most important influence in your horoscope chart after the Sun, represents your emotions, your inner mood. And the two together strongly influence your emotional mode of operation. Your Sun sign is easy to determine, through your day and month of birth. Your Moon sign can be determined by a calculation of your full date, place and time of birth.
TORUS VORTEX
The geometric shape used to describe the self-reflexive nature of consciousness is the torus. The torus allows a vortex of energy to form which bends back along itself and re-enters itself. It 'inside-outs', continuously flowing back into itself. The torus enables vortexes to be formed.
TREE OF LIFE
The tree of life is a symbol of a fresh start on life, positive energy, good health and a bright future. It’s a symbol of immortality. A tree grows old, yet it bears seeds that contain its very essence and in this way, the tree becomes immortal, as a symbol of growth and strength.
TRIQUETRA - TRINITY KNOT
The Trinity knot is also called the Triquetra and is one of the best known symbols in Celtic culture. The Celtic Christian church used it to represent the Holy Trinity, but other cultures used the symbol too and each attached its own meaning to it. An ancient Celtic symbol, the triquetra is considered one of the oldest; dating back to as early as 500 BC when it was used to symbolize the triple goddess.
TRISKELE – TRIPLE SPIRAL - TRISKELION
Derived from the Greek word "Triskeles" meaning "three legs", the Triskele or Triple Spiral is a complex ancient Celtic symbol. Often referred to by many as a Triskelion, its earliest creation dates back to the Neolithic era, as it can be seen at the entrance of Newgrange, Ireland.
The triskele can be thought to represent motion as all three arms are positioned to make it appear as if it is moving outwards from its center. Movement, or motion, is believed to signify energies, in particular within this Celtic Symbol the motion of action, cycles, progress, revolution and competition.
Due to the three arms, some of these meanings include: life-death-rebirth, spirit-mind-body, mother-father-child, past-present-future, power-intellect-love and creation-preservation-destruction to name but a few. It is believed to represent a tale of forward motion to reach understanding. However, this is thought not to be the only meaning, as it is also believed to represent three Celtic worlds; the spiritual world, the present world and the celestial world. Like the ancient Trinity knot, the number 3 holds a special symbolism within the triskele.
VENUS ORBITAL DANCE
The ‘invisible’ dance of the Earth and Venus forms a stunning five petal pattern in space.
The amazingly symmetrical mandala like pattern shows the 8-year orbital cycles of Venus in our solar system from an Earth-centered perspective. When plotted geocentrically – from an Earth’s line of sight– there is a highly noticeable symmetrical rhythm in the motion of Venus. After eight years, it returns to the same place in our sky on about the same date. This is known as the eight-year cycle of Venus, and stems from the fact that 13 Venusian orbits (8 x 224.8 days) very nearly equals eight Earth years. The cycle was known to, and of great interest to, ancient peoples such as the Maya. Today, many know it as the pentagram of Venus.
The word pentagram – or five-sided figure – is used because, over the eight years, each phenomenon – each relative position of Earth, Venus, and the sun – occurs five times. Then, over the next eight years, they repeat five times almost identically.
Venus makes a complete orbit around the Sun (a year in Venusian time) every 225 Earth days or slightly less than two Venusian day-night cycles. Its orbit around the Sun is the most circular of any planet — nearly a perfect circle. Other planet's orbits are more elliptical, or oval-shaped. "Eight Earth years are roughly equal to 13 Venus years, meaning the two planets approximately trace out this pattern with 5-fold symmetry as they orbit the Sun." Venus has the most circular orbit of any of the planets in our Solar System.
YIN YANG
Balance - Two halves that together complete wholeness. Yin and yang are also the starting point for change. When something is whole, by definition, it’s unchanging and complete. So when you split something into two halves – yin/yang, it upsets the equilibrium of wholeness. Both halves are chasing after each other as they seek a new balance with each other.
The word Yin comes out to mean “shady side” and Yang “sunny side”. Yin Yang is the concept of duality forming a whole. We encounter examples of Yin and Yang every day. As examples: night (Yin) and day (Yang), female (Yin) and male (Yang). Over thousands of years, quite a bit has been sorted and grouped under various Yin Yang classification systems.
The symbol for Yin Yang is called the Taijitu. Most people just call it the yin yang symbol in the west. The Taijitu symbol has been found in more than one culture and over the years has come to represent Taoism.
Nothing is completely Yin or completely Yang. Each aspect contains the beginning point for the other aspect. The nature of Yin and Yang flows and changes with time.
YOGA
The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit root word “yug,” which literally means to yoke or unite. This union is not referring to your fingers touching your toes or your nose reaching your knees. It's also not referring to the union of mind and body, although, this is commonly repeated within the yoga community. The union that the word yoga is referring to is that of uniting individual consciousness (our individual experience of reality) with Divine consciousness (the essence of truth as perceived when we quiet our five senses and reconnect with the Supreme Self within). All yoga practice is to serve the unfolding of infinite potential of both the human mind and eternal Self. Through this ultimate union of the self with the Divine, we experience lasting bliss, or bhoga, and liberation from suffering.
