“By presenting the sacred geometry of twelve cultural epochs, Pennick’s landmark book provides a balanced and concrete introduction to a range of traditions that significantly employed it.” * Richard Heath, author of Sacred Geometry in Ancient Goddess Cultures *
“Sacred geometry is the basis for all esoteric practice. Its importance includes even the Royal Art itself—practical alchemy—wherein the structures of crystals are the literal basis for the confection of the Philosophic Stone. Once again, we are blessed to have Nigel Pennick’s masterpiece back in print and available to students of the Arcane Arts and Sciences. This book is a classic and essential reading for those wishing for theoretical as well as practical understanding of sacred geometry.” * Mark Stavish, founder and director of the Institute for Hermetic Studies and author of The Path of F *
“Sacred Geometry: Basic Practices and Timeless Principles by Nigel Pennick is a very valuable overview of the almost-lost Western sacred science of Earth measurement. Highly recommended!” * Arthur Versluis, author of Alchemical Lightwork, Sacred Earth, and The Secret History of Western Sex *
“In keeping with its compact title, Nigel Pennick’s Sacred Geometry is simple and straightforward in configuration but endlessly revealing in scope and depth. This is because the lens of sacred proportion is etched with eternal templates that lead to more beautiful and inspired human works. As this book shows, these higher principles, which describe the ratios of harmony and aesthetic composition, have informed the arts, crafts, and temple-building aspirations of human societies for millennia. The principles are never obsolete, for they manifest across time, space, and culture. One could ask for no better guide into this hidden yet ever-present world than Nigel Pennick, a prolific author who trained as a scientist only to become what might be called a historian of the human spirit. Having dedicated much of his life to mastering the spiritual arts and crafts in theory and practice, he truly knows whereof he speaks.” * Michael Moynihan, PhD, coauthor of Lords of Chaos and coeditor of The Rune Poems *
