This book, written by a leading authority on magic and occult philosophy, provides a brief but wide-ranging introduction to the principles of sacred geometry--the ancient science of the relationship between mathematical forms and the underlying structure of the world.

It does this in a new and innovative way: as a handbook for a specially designed pack of 33 cards intended for use in divination, rather in the manner of tarot cards. After a short introduction, the book proceeds to explain each of the cards, with a short description of the geometrical form (The Equilateral Triangle, The Dodecagram, Progression of Roots, and so on), its metaphysical meaning, and its practical divinatory significance. For each card there is also a clear instruction on how to construct the figure using the geometer's traditional tools (basically a school geometry kit), and a guided meditation on the figure. Clear instructions and examples are also given on how to do readings using the cards.

For a book written so simply and clearly there is a lot of depth, and the bibliography opens a door to the hidden continent of sacred geometry, if the reader would like to venture further. So far I have just read the book; I have not yet done the constructions, the meditations, or read the cards. I intend to do so, and I expect that, as always, the results will depend on the effort that I'm willing to apply. But overall I'm impressed and delighted with this book, which is a worthy addition to this author's already valuable body of work.
