Sacred Geometry of the Languedoc

Internal Links

According to a number of theories there are elements of sacred geometry concealed in the position of various key locations in the Languedoc, and in various paintings, especially those of Nicholas Poussin.

Sadly there seems to be no evidence for this all.

Of course, there are various mathematical techniques used in Poussin's paintings - not just the rules of perspective, but the use of ratios such as the golden section or golden ratio.

Beyond this, all attempts at placing locations on significant ley lines, or constructing pentacles on maps, or projecting straight lines in an attempt to match points of intersection with something significant have failed to produce anything of interest whatsoever.

If you are convinced that there is something in this sacred geometry - for example that Languedoc villages are positioned on the vertices of regular five pointed stars - then you might be fascinated to know that if you take a map of any scale, and choose any three Languedoc post offices they will always fall either on a straight line, or on the circumference of a circle. They will also form the vertices of a triangle. And three of the four vertices of a parallelogram. If you still find this astonishing, you should seek immediate help from someone conversant with elementary mathematics.
