You may have noticed that one of the most widely used geometric symbol for crystal grids is the Flower of Life. There are a few reasons for this which I will explain but first let’s look at this symbol in more detail.
What Is The Flower Of Life?
The Flower Of Life symbol consists of 19 overlapping circles that create a repeating six petaled flower-like pattern. These petal shapes are what is known as the Vesica Piscis or Mandorla in sacred geometry. The circles are arranged in a hexagonal geometry within a larger circle. Many if not all symbols of sacred geometry can be found within its structure, including whole alphabets.

This symbol has been found all over the world including Ancient Egypt, India, Italy and Japan. It continues to turn up in unexpected places, mostly at Sacred Sites and Temples.

So I’m looking for a crystal grid to help me connect with the moon and I really like your stuff so I was wondering if you could help me out.
Hi Nick I do not have one designed yet but may do in the future. Crystals you could use are Moonstone, Black Moonstone, Rainbow Moonstone, Larvikite and Selenite.
Hi Ethan!
Once printed, possible to laminate it? (laminated paper sheet). Or it won’t work if laminated? Thx!!!
Yes you can laminate it
Do you have to laminate can you use clear tack papper
No, you dont have to laminate. You can use whatever you want to print on really, what matters is that the symbol is visible
I enjoy all your articles. I found myself drawn to this design about a year ago, but didn’t know the name. However, The. Flower of Life made perfect sense! (Did you know a Chinese checker board has the same pattern? ) Thank you for posting so many great articles.
