Metatron's Cube
Metatron's Cube is a sacred geometric figure composed of 13 equal circles with lines from the center of each circle extending out to the centers of the other 12 circles, also described as a variant of the Flower of Life.[1]
Description[edit]
The name of Metatron's Cube makes reference to Metatron, an angel mentioned in apocryphal texts including the Second Book of Enoch and the Book of the Palaces.[2] These texts rank Metatron second only to the God in the hierarchy of being.[citation needed] The derivation of Metatron's Cube from the Flower of Life, which Jewish texts states, was excluded from human experience during the exile from Eden.[citation needed] This has led some scholars including Johann Andreas Eisenmenger to portray Metatron as the means by which humanity was given knowledge of YHVH.
The image below relates how the platonic solids can be projected in two dimensions as hexagonally-symmetric figures within the framework of the Metatron cube.
