| Sacred Geometry: Philosophy and Practice (Art and Imagination) by Thames & Hudson Beautifully Done |
Robert Lawlor's book presents itself in a "workbook" type form. It takes you through the process of understanding Sacred Geometry and how to look at, and understand these abstract principles in a very methodical process, by building and developing upon the simplest concept of One. Lawlor has written a classic.
I have not seen many other books that take this approach as he does.
He guides the reader to a deeper understanding of how the "unseen" universe works and helps one develop a better perception of that reality.
The diagrams are easy to follow and the text is well written. It is presented in a simple format that anyone with a true desire to learn this subject will enjoy and understand, this is a great "starter" book and a wonderful reference book as well.

| Sacred Geometry: Philosophy and Practice (Art and Imagination) by Thames & Hudson A Book of Wisdom to Be Read Slowly |
| Very, very insightful intro to sacred geometry. If not familiar with this topic, I would suggest one first read the book to get your feet wet in a new way of perceiving what's around you. Then go back, re-read it slowly, and carefully do the math (which isn't difficult, really) and make the geometric constructs on graph paper like the author suggests. You have to do the exercises for it all to fully sink in, and achieve greater comprehension. This book is quietly profound. I only wish it was longer and for this talented author to get into the deeper end of the pool. Lawlor's commentary is often provocative and compelling. |
| Sacred Geometry: Philosophy and Practice (Art and Imagination) by Thames & Hudson A Rare Resource |
| If you have been looking for the secrets of the Pythagorian Brotherhood, then look no futher - this is the book. Robert Lawlor takes you step by step into the realm of Hermetic Knowledge and connects it all together. |
| Sacred Geometry: Philosophy and Practice (Art and Imagination) by Thames & Hudson Not for the meek. |
| Great source for a workbook; not an elementary book for the true beginner. |
| Sacred Geometry: Philosophy and Practice (Art and Imagination) by Thames & Hudson An excellent presentation. Glad I bought it |
| Reading Robert Lawlors book took me out of a classroom and into a discussion of the origins of mathematics. Just enough details to all the material covered, making it a breath of fresh air to others stodgy presentations. |
