“Sacred geometry is the geometry used in the planning and construction of religious structure such as churches, temples, mosques, religious monuments, altars, tabernacles: aswell as for sacred meanings are ascribed to certain shapes and certain geometric proportions. It has also been known to have been used in the design of sacred spaces such as temenoi, sacred groves. village greens and holy wells and the creation of religious art.”

Platonic Solids
“The 5 Platonic solids (Tetrahedron, Cube or (Hexahedron), Octahedron, Dodecahedron and Icosahedron) are ideal, primal models of crystal patterns that occur throughout the world of minerals in countless variations. These are the only five regular polyhedra, that is, the only five solids made from the same equilateral, equiangular polygons. To the Greeks, these solids symbolized fire, earth, air, spirit (or ether) and water respectively. The cube and octahedron are duals, meaning that one can be created by connecting the midpoints of the faces of the other. The icosahedron and dodecahedron are also duals of each other, and three mutually perpendicular, mutually bisecting golden rectangles can be drawn connecting their vertices and midpoints, respectively. The tetrahedron is a dual to itself.”http://www.geometrycode.com/sacred-geometry/
“These five Platonic solids are ideal, primal models of crystal patterns that occur throughout the world of minerals in countless variations. These are the only five regular polyhedra, that is, the only five solids made from the same equilateral, equiangular polygons. They are geometrical forms which are said to act as a template from which all life springs. The aesthetic beauty and symmetry of the Platonic solids have made them a favorite subject of geometers for thousands of years. They are named after the ancient Greek philosopher Plato who theorized that the classical elements were constructed from the regular solids. To the Greeks, these solids symbolized fire, earth, air, spirit (or ether) and water.
The Platonic solids are also called "cosmic figures" and are the basic modules for Sacred Geometry.”

The Archimedean Solids
“These all have 2 or more types of regular polygons (e.g. triangles and squares).
The truncated tetrahedron shows the “progression” from a tetrahedron to another tetrahedron, since the tetrahedrons a dual to itself, i.e., connecting the midpoints of the faces yields another tetrahedron pointing in the opposite direct from the original.
The left column shows the progression from a hexahedron (cube) to an octahedron.
The right column shows the progression from a dodecahedron to an icosahedron, as corners are trimmed off and turned into other regular polygons.
There are 13 Archimedean solids, each of which are composed of two or more different regular polygons. Interestingly, 5 (Platonic) and 13 (Archimedean) are both fibonacci numbers, and 5, 12 and 13 form a perfect right triangle.”

Stellations
“This is a stellation if a dodecahedron where each pentagonal face is capped with a pentagonal pyramid composed of 5 golden triangles, a sort of 3D 5-pointed star.”

Metatrons Cube
“Metatrons Cube contains every shape that exists in the universe. Those shapes are the building blocks of all physical matter, which are known as platonic solids. the shapes represent the patterns that make up everything God has made.”

The Flower of Life
“Indelibly etched on the walls of temple of the Osirion at Abydos, Egypt, the Flower of Life contains a vast Akashic system of information, including templates for the five Platonic Solids. The background graphic for this page is a repetitive hexagonal grid based on the Flower of Life.”
