Fun tidbit about me reading this book. Not too far into reading this book I was like, there\u2019s an awful lot of geometry in this book about\u2026..oh yeah, sacred geometry. I\u2019m not the sharpest tool in the shed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forget \u201cAncient Aliens\u201d, in Heath\u2019s book it\u2019s goddesses. This is definitely an over simplification of \u201cSacred Geometry\u201d but at the heart of the text is the idea that ancient divine feminine worship cultures, and the females who provided leadership for them, led to the creation of monuments and megaliths in accordance with time and stars (early astronomy). They then coded this information into the carvings of the monuments. More interesting than that, in my opinion, is how Heath explores the transition of this geometry to arithmetic parallels the transition of matriarchal societies into patriarchal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSacred Geometry in Ancient Goddess Cultures\u201d by Richard Heath is a dense text that Inner Traditions have given the gold star treatment by publishing in full color hardcover. It presents an interesting exploration of ancient megaliths, spiritual beliefs, and early science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Goddesses-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1761\" width=\"281\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Goddesses-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Goddesses-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Goddesses-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Goddesses-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Goddesses.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 281px) 100vw, 281px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/24031\/9781644116555\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get your own copy here. <\/a>(This is an affiliate link to my Bookshop, which supports independent bookstores throughout the United States.
