Sacred Geometry is an absorbing introduction to the principles underlying all geometry and a thorough exploration of how religious architecture through the ages has embodied these principles. Nigel Pennick discloses the key to all structure - from molecules to the human body to galaxies - as he traces the history of this transcendent form megalithic stone circles through Gothic cathedrals and Baroque churches to Art Noveau. Sacred Geometry investigates the best examples of this science: structures that not only exhibit ingenuity and complexity but that were also imbued with magic powers and profound psychological meaning. It shows how each time a geometrical form is created, an expression of universal oneness is made; from the dawn of time religious structures have expressed this unity in every detail. Sacred Geometry discusses the major styles as Egyptian, Classical, Romanesque, Islamic, Gothic, and Renaissance. Enlightening, lucid, and thorough, this insightful book reveals how buildings that conform to these timeless principles mirror the geometry of the cosmos; it also shows us how to live more fully in harmony with the world and ourselves.

From the original Celtic site of the castle at Tintagel, passing through the sacred forest of Brocéliande in Brittany, and on to the monastery of Scelig Mhichil off the coast of Ireland, Nigel Pennick takes us on an exhilarating spiritual and historical tour of the Celtic holy places of Europe. He delves into the mystery and lore behind the power of sacred trees and stones, springs and wells as places of healing, holy mountains as centers of geomythic energies, sacred caves, holy islands, sanctified earthworks and cities, paths and trackways, places for demons and supernatural beings, the visible instances of the divine in hidden temples, and the holy places of the Celtic saints. Through these themes, supported by a wide-ranging gazetteer of sites, he reveals the continuing importance of the Celtic tradition to us today.

Mazes and Labyrinths

For thousands of years, the fascinating image of the labyrinth has held an important place in human consciousness. Mazes and labyrinths are the meeting-places of symbolism, myth, ritual, art and architecture. From the ancient rock carvings of northern Europe, the famed labyrinths of ancient Egypt and Crete, to the pavements of medieval cathedrals and the turf mazes of village greens, the form of the labyrinth has been a symbol across time. They appeared in renaissance gardens and as the puzzling hedge-mazes of formal gardens. In the late twentieth century there was a revival of interest, leading to the many labyrinths that exist  worldwide today. In this book, Nigel Pennick guides the reader through the history and symbolism of a fascinating form of art that links us with the most ancient times and the inner reaches of our consciousness.
