Sacred Geometry and the Likes

Just found this nifty little tome on The Golden Section at a second-hand store yesterday (along with a couple of books like the Penguin edition of Ibsen's Ghosts and so forth)and and I do agree with the book's cover, it is nature's greatest secret. That and sacred geometry and Harmonograph: A Visual Guide to the Mathematics of Music.

Hell, even Pythagoras knew that an oscillating string stopped halfway along its length produces an octave relative to the string's fundamental, while a ratio of 2:3 produces a perfect fifth and 3:4 produces a perfect fourth. Pythagoreans believe that all these harmonic ratios give music healing powers which can "harmonize" an out-of-balance body. No shit, Sherlock.

If you are looking for a good book covering hands-on healing may I suggest Hands of Light by Barbara Brennan? I love this book but always get the ketheric confused with the etheric. Silly me.

Oh hey, if your Bardlibido is up for it, take a look at a scene from Taming of the Shrew starring that rascal Waylon Lenk and his friend whose name was McGill, she called herself "Lil" but everyone knew her as Nancee.
