Sacred Geometry: A Primer

Alright, there's a lot in today's post. I'm running out of orthogons (there are only 12 after all) but the good news is that there's a lot more to sacred geometry than just the orthogons. Today is sort of a continuations of last weeks post, how to draw a hexagon or a six-sided star and the how-to on those opens up a whole world of possibilities.
Anyway, start with a straight line, I went horizontal but you could also go with a vertical line.

Draw a circle and sort of center it on your line.

Draw a circle with the point of your compass on one of the points where the original circle and the line cross. This is the same step to create a vesica piscis. P.s. don't change your compass setting.

 Draw another circle at the point where the two circles intersect.

Continue until you have six circles around the original circle.

Draw connecting lines between each intersection of the original circle.

The hexagon.You can also draw the star from this point but I did not.

If you want to simplify things, you can get the same results without drawing all the extra circles. Just draw the points where the circles intersect.

When you've done that you can make a hexagon or proceed as follows for a star.

Connect two points leaving another point in between them.

So there you go, now go and experiment and find out what you can do with all this.
