Each stone is approx 18 to 25mm. The 5 'Platonic' forms are the only convex forms in 3D where each vertex, edge, and face, is identical. Since Plato (and perhaps Pythagorus and the Egyptian before him) these forms have been thought of as the building elemental blocks of reality.The pentagonal dodecahedron represents spirit, the octahedron air, the tetrahedron fire, the icosahedron water, and the cube earth. The tetrahedron is what we could call 'directional', meaning that it cannot be placed in a gravitational field without seeming to point either up or down, or to one side or the other. It...
This is a cute little set. I use about 5 kits at once. It is a lot of fun. Beyond that many the tiny errors in the length of the sticks start to add up and make it harder to create perfect geometries. Pieces: 36PCS Magnetic Sticks & 27PCS Steel Balls Please note: these strong magnets are not a toy and are not suitable for children. People have died or been seriously injured by inhaling or swallowing more than one magnet. In Australia and New Zealand sale of these sets is most likely illegal and therefore we do not ship...
Playing with magnet balls is highly addictive. You have a choice of 3mm or 5mm balss. I prefer the 5mm ones (or the 4mm but for some reason its hard to find them these days).Also I recommend at least 3 of these kits to have enough to let your imagination and fingers run wild. They are made from a neodymium core, (the strongest natural magnets), and electroplated to give a nice shiny smooth surface. Please note: these strong magnets are not a toy and are not suitable for children. People have died or been seriously injured by inhaling or swallowing...

Strong magnet sticks with unmagnetised balls.(You dont actually want the balls magnetised for this kit because you want the sticks to be able to go in any direction)
These are a lot of fun.
Please note: these strong magnets are not a toy and are not suitable for children. People have died or been seriously injured by inhaling or swallowing more than one magnet.
In Australia and New Zealand sale of these sets is most likely illegal and therefore we do not ship them to these countries.
This image seems to glow with geometrical energy from another plane of existence. It was created as a guide to integrating yoga practice with the 5 elements of traditional western and eastern esoteric teachings. Here we have stripped back the words to bare minimum so as to appreciate the unique artwork. The words that remain are the names of the 5 elements and their associated qualities. At the top, the chalice between the wings represents the eternal archetypal geometrical foundations of existence. The gold Tara as the divine matrix of mystery in the black hole, and the dancing Krishna as...

This is a work-in-progress on the Sacred Geometry Game that you can learn more about at www.SacredGeometryGame.com . It makes a great meditation mandala though, and if you stare at the white light at the centre you may find all sorts of inspirations and information downloading from the universal mind into your consciousness :-) The triangular/hexagonal pattern that circles naturally make when they cluster together reveal the underlying structure of spacetime. Buckminster Fuller called this 60 degree based grid the Isotropic Vector Matrix, meaning that the distribution of energy is equal in all directions. This is the two dimensional form,...
Illustration from the book 'Understanding Sacred Geometry and the Flower of Life'. We can trace most of our sciences, arts and spiritual concepts, as well as political, legal, social and economic systems, back to the dozens of brilliant Philosophers in Ancient Greece. Among their most enduring contributions were Philosophy itself (literally ‘love of wisdom’), and Geometry (literally ‘measuring the Earth’, or the material world). Surprisingly, for such a seminal figure, virtually nothing is actually known about the man Pythagoras or his teachings. Most of what you may think you know is apocryphal. The mystical cult that he set up, and...
This looks like a lovely little board for travelling chess players.Wood is always nice. Magnetic is important especially on a small board. And this set even comes with extra queens (encouraging optimistic pawn pushers).
Pattern recognition, memory, strategy, and logic are just some of the skills chess is known to develop and exercise.
Board Size: 23.7 cm x 23.7 cm ( 9.33 in x 9.33 in )King Height: 5.6 cm ( 2.2 in )Pawn Height: 3.0 cm ( 1.18 in )Net Weight: 410 g
This is a full 19x19 board and pieces for playing the ancient Chinese game of Go. It was another landmark in the evolution of A.I. when one of the very top Go players in the world was beaten.Go is considered to be a more subtle and intuitive game than chess for instance, and it was thought we might still be years away from having a computer beat a top player. However in 2016 Googles 'Alpha Go' won the match 4 to 1. In 2017 it beat the worlds #1 ranked player 3 to 0. None-the-less, Go remains a very...
This is a classic game that I am yet to fully understand the strategy of despite having played it for decades! The rules are so simple (and Google-able).One player is white and one black. Each takes turns in placing one circle of their color on the board and reversing any of the other players circles that are caught between two of their own circles.Wait a minute... its simpler to play than to explain! If you need a primer try this quick video :-) Some people take the game quite seriously as you can see from this Youtube Channel of lessons...
For such a simple spring-like spiral of wire it is interesting how hard it is for the mind to understand its behaviour. Endless fund for children of all ages. These have become festival favourites and even performance toys. More than one is recommended for maximum enjoyment, especially when playing with friends. Of course, the torus form is one of the most important energetic forms, being as it is the basic shape of the electromagnetic field surrounding each charged particle, cell, body, planet, star, and galaxy! In this video below some mathematical secrets of the Toroflux are explained along with some other...
An amazing collection of brain teasing geometric wooden puzzles to choose from.There are some very nice geometries here that you can have a hands on experience with.
(They also make great altar pieces).
Warning: Once disassembled you may never get them back together again (without asking your kids for help).
This is a brilliant little game. Can be learned in 30 seconds and entertain for many hours as it develops your pattern recognition and planning and strategy abilities.Each player has their own 5x5 square filled with 24 square sliding coloured blocks leaving one empty square. Play goes like this. Shake up the 9 coloured cubes in their box. Then it is a race as both players try to reproduce in the central 9 squares of their board the pattern of the 9 coloured cubes. I dont honestly understand the purpose of the screen separating the two boards. Age Range: 7 Years and up...
Tangrams are Chinese geometrical puzzles consisting of a rectangle cut into pieces which can be arranged to make various other shapes. Trying to get the pieces back into the rectangle is the first puzzle, but the challenges you can invent are endless.
