300 Links
I once had more than 300 links here. It is too much work for me to try to keep them all up to date. So I have reduced the number to a modest few, which I have included below, in no particular order. If you have a great labyrinth site and would like to be included, please let me know. www.labyrinthsociety.org The Labyrinth Society, international organization, forum, events, gatherings, membership information. www.labyrinthos.net Labyrinthos, Jeff and Kimerbly Saward, world's greatest expert on labyrinths, British labyrinth journal Caerdroia www.labyrinthlocator.com Enter your labyrinth, or find a labyrinth anywhere in the world. www.veriditas.net Veriditas: The Worldwide Labyrinth Project, the Reverend Dr. www.labyrinthsinstone.com Marty Kermeen, the world's greatest paver labyrinth maker. www.goldenspirit.com Chuck Hunner, labyrinths and jewelry. www.geomancy.org Mid-Atlantic Geomancy, Sig Lonegren, ezines, labyrinth information. www.labyrinthguild.org Labyrinth Guild of New England
Unexplained Mysteries of LOST LANDS
Many western cultures have myths of lost lands, where once lived our great ancestors. Typical is Lyonesse, a fabled land once said to exist between Land’s End and the Scilly Isles, off the British coast. On this land stood the city of Lions and some 140 churches. Folk tales, and later poets such as Tennyson, kept the fable alive by associating it with King Arthur. Thought to be the place of his birth, his death has also been associated with the lost land. Another such fable concerns Atland. Some lost lands are more modern, and said to be rationally theorised to have existed. In the 1870s, the idea was taken up by the likes of Huxley and Wallace, leading scientists of their day. A further lost land is Mu, which, according to former Bengal Lancer, Col James Churchward, existed in the Pacific Ocean. As we can see, most of these lost lands are quite fanciful, but share a similar psychology to other forms of lost worlds. Why is this the case? © Anthony North, December 2007 Liked it ?

The Philosopher Stoned: Rodin Fibonacci Wheel Symmetries
I would like to take a slightly deeper look at the Fibonacci/Rodin number wheel. But first, a quick review of Marko Rodin's vortex based mathematics for those that aren't so familiar. It is based on reducing all numbers to whole numbers, for example 25 = 2+5 = 7 or 1.156 = 1+1+5+6 = 13 = 1+3 = 4. From this we see very interesting patterns emerge. It may seem simple at first, but I believe it has far-reaching applications some of which we have seen in the development of the Rodin Coil. Notice first how 9 repeats itself always. These 6 remaining numbers can also be depicted as a doubling/halving circuit on the lazy infinity shape on this wheel. Now we turn to the Fibonacci wheel. Watch what happens when we run the Fibonacci series as Rodin numbers. First off, we notice that each number is directly opposite its inverted pair. 9 is 0, and 1 and 8 are the points of maximum potential. This 24 number circle can also be divided into 4 hexagrams.

Bisection of Yin and Yang
The flag of South Korea (and of Kingdom of Korea from 1883) contains the ancient yin-yang symbol (Taijitu in Chinese, Tomoye in Japanese and Taegeuk in Korean) that represents the struggle, merger and co-existence of two opposites (could be hot/cold, male/female, sky/earth, moon/sun, etc.) The symbol is composed of two regions of a circle separated by two semicircles of half the radius of the big circle. Solution 1 This one requires no proof. Solution 2 Part of the Yin (black) piece below the horizontal diameter of the big circle is a semicircle with area πR²/8, where R is assumed to be the radius of the big circle, so that the small semicircle is of radius R/2. Solution 3 The dashed circle has radius R/√2. Solution 4 The reflection in the horizontal diameter of the big circle creates a second Yin-Yang pair of regions whose borderline supplies the necessary cut. Solution 5 For this proof, we set x = R(√5 - 1)/4. Solution 6 Application of the Carpet Theorem Area(S1 ∩ T1) = Area(S2 ∩ T2). Reference

Teachers' resource: Maths and Islamic art & design
Tiles, fritware with lustre decoration, Kashan, Iran, 13th-14th century, Museum no. 1074-1875. © Victoria & Albert Museum, London This resource provides a variety of information and activities that teachers may like to use with their students to explore the Islamic Middle East collections at the V&A. It can be used to support learning in Maths and Art. Included in this resource are sections on: Principles of Islamic art and design Pre-visit activities Activities to do in the museum Activities to do back at school Islamic art explores the geometric systems that depend upon the regular division of the circle and the study of Islamic art increases appreciation and understanding of geometry. Approaching an abstract subject in a concrete way provides a means of extending maths into other curriculum areas. Islamic Middle East (Room 42) and South Asia (Room 41) are referred to in the Museum activities. National curriculum links Preparation for a visit Download octagon template (PDF file, 43.5 KB)

Sacred Geometry Introductory Tutorial by Bruce Rawles
Great site on natural law and basics of sacred geometry….check it out!-A.M. In nature, we find patterns, designs and structures from the most minuscule particles, to expressions of life discernible by human eyes, to the greater cosmos. The Sphere (charcoal sketch of a sphere by Nancy Bolton-Rawles) Starting with what may be the simplest and most perfect of forms, the sphere is an ultimate expression of unity, completeness, and integrity. The Circle The circle is a two-dimensional shadow of the sphere which is regarded throughout cultural history as an icon of the ineffable oneness; the indivisible fulfillment of the Universe. The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, Pi, is the original transcendental and irrational number. The Point At the center of a circle or a sphere is always an infinitesimal point. Almost everywhere we look, the mineral intelligence embodied within crystalline structures follows a geometry unfaltering in its exactitude.
