Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.

I found this book fascinating. I have studied physics, and the inclusion of mathematical symbols that
surround us is amazing. This isn't a book for everyone, but for those you wish to read it will find it fascinating.

Really good introduction to different shapes for those who have an interest in this area. Good jump off base with information and tips.

To be honest, I have no idea what I just read. This was like a combination of a complicated math lesson and a pagan resource, but as someone new to sacred geometry I ended up still clueless about what I was supposed to do with the knowledge.

Really enjoyed my time with this book. Wealth of knowledge that brought great insight to ancient symbols. Easy to pick up and read, loved the symbol meditations to dive deeper into their wisdom.

Excellent reference guide on the topic of sacred geometry. Practitioners and believers will likely use this started text less than individuals new to the field, but it is a robust introduction and could serve as a reference tool for many types of readers. Authors and writers who focus on science fiction and fantasy may also want to buy a copy as a tool for future projects/writings.

I love books like this that are concise but touch on a myriad of topics. Sacred Geometry has always been interesting to me, but I didn't know much about it. This was a great overview and allowed me to identify points that I wanted to further my interest. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who's interested in dipping their tow into Sacred Geometry.

This book is organized and aesthetically pleasing. It contains quite a bit of information but makes the factual material digestible by breaking up larger chunks of text with charts and tip boxes. One thing that stuck out to me while reading this text was the way the author takes the sacred geometry concepts and makes them applicable by offering an exercise or meditation so the whole book isn't just heavy in theory and history and fact. I don't see myself making this a classroom title, but I could see myself working it into a library display in our school library due to the narrow scope of the material.
