Sacred geometry
Do you know how some symbols keep coming back to you? Do they somehow keep crossing your path?
Some symbols have been with me for a long time. I can remember as a child, without ever having heard of the flower of life, drawing one with a compass. And I loved coloring them in. Everything was peaceful inside me. I felt a connection, as if it was a part of me.
I remembered this when I saw a flower of life for the first time as a teenager and then read up on what it was actually about.
It is sacred geometry
Sacred geometry is the structure of which all living things are made. It is the foundation.
There are different forms in which each of the symbols that arise from it has its own energy.
Everyone can feel the power of the individual symbols when they look at them and they can increase our well-being. They can be used to promote positive feelings and ideas.
What would it be like to be able to use this positive effect in the areas of food and drink, living atmosphere, as body jewelry and also for plants? That's why I incorporate various symbols from sacred geometry into my ceramics.
But what does sacred geometry include? (The list is not exhaustive :-) )
- Flower of life
- Golden ratio
- Fibonacci sequence
All of them can be found everywhere in nature and also in ourselves. That is why we are so strongly attracted to symbols that arise from this geometry, just as I was as a child when I drew the flower of life.
Everyone is attracted to different symbols to different degrees. This is due to the information that this symbol carries within it and what the individual needs at the moment, for example to heal, to awaken the resources that they need or to find the connection to their own inner world.
That is why I offer various symbols and am also happy to include new ones in my work if a particular one does you good and you would like to have it in your ceramics.
The basic shape of sacred geometry is the sphere. It has no beginning and no end, no corners and edges. It is a symbol of wholeness. This is why many dances are performed in a circle and we also talk about the circle of family and friends.
Interestingly, the clay also has the shape of a ball after it has been kneaded and before it is placed on the turntable (which is also a circle).
The flower of life
The structure of the flower of life has existed for as long as the universe has existed.
It consists of 19 circles and has been known around the world as an energy symbol for many thousands of years.
The 19 circles contain all the mathematical and universal laws, such as the Pythagorean theorem, the tree of life, the squaring of the circle and the Merkaba.
The origin of all living things.

The flower of life is a symbolic representation of cosmic order and recurring life.
Effect of the flower of life:
Its harmonizing effect can be felt directly by highly sensitive people in particular. If the flower of life is worn as a piece of jewelry, the power has a positive effect on the wearer and their energy fields. It works:

- Energizing and revitalizing for drinking water and food of all kinds
- Harmonizes and stabilizes energy fields
- Supportive for meditation
- Energizing
It can give harmony and balance and support and promote joie de vivre.
Masaru Emoto has proven with his crystal photography how much water crystals develop into living crystals, i.e. regain their actual perfect structure, when they come into contact with the flower of life.
If bottles, glasses or cups containing coffee, wine, tea or juice are provided with the flower of life, a significantly better digestibility is achieved.

That's why I always put the flower of life inside my vessels, unless they are so small and narrow that my hand doesn't fit :-). I want everyone who uses my vessels to have the ideal effect for their drinks/food and also for their immediate surroundings and therefore for themselves and their health. It can also be worn directly on the body as an amulet.
The Fibonacci sequence
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers that Leonardo Fibonacci developed from a calculation example, which can be represented as a spiral. It plays a major role in various growth processes in nature. It can be seen, for example, in the arrangement of sunflower seeds in a flower or in the scales of a pine cone.
The spiral that results from the Fibonacci sequence is often seen as a symbol of strength.

When kneading the clay, before processing, in the spiral kneading technique, the clay is kneaded in precisely this spiral, which is the representation of the Fibonacci sequence. The clay thus absorbs the energy of the spiral.
The golden ratio
The golden ratio is a special division ratio. It is found very frequently in nature.
This division ratio is an expression of beauty, health and vitality. Plants that are somewhat ailing often lack these proportions.

...the base is a distance from a-b
this distance is divided as follows:
the larger section a is related to the smaller section b in the same way as the total distance a-b is related to the larger section a.
If the long section is divided by the short section, you get the number pi. Pi =1.618, it is the golden ratio.
Pi can be found in human and animal bodies, DNA, plants and in the solar system.
The Fibonacci sequence is also linked to Phi. If you divide a number in the Fibonacci sequence by the number preceding it, the result is always approximately Phi. The accuracy increases as the Fibonacci number increases.

Yantras
Yantras are symbols with great ritual significance and have their origins in Hinduism. These pictorial representations are images of chanted or spoken mantras.
Yantras combine various geometric symbols. They all start from a "starting point" and usually have a highly symmetrical structure.
The power of various yantras is clearly noticeable, as is the harmony and inspiration that emanates from them.
