Description:
The Three Keys of Orient design is aptly named, first in the fact that within the design exists the three most important root numbers, or harmonics thereof, in worldly sacred geometry, and secondly, as a play on words for the Three Kings of Orient (or orientation, rather, as all masters of religion gain their cosmological origin from the celestial motions and the numbers, weights, and measures derived there from).
The three, the six, and the twelve have always held a great importance in math, stargazing, geometry, music, and all proportion. Visual artists can tell anyone the great importance of these numbers, as well as the nine, which is harmonic (musical math term) with them all - art is most attractive when utilizing these rational formulations. The hexagram represents, in three dimensional perspecgive, the \"star tetrahedron,\" or the convergence of the great Holy Word with its equal and opposite effect. It is said that this word spawned all that is, and, physicists today mostly agree that electromagnetism (dipolar waves) represents this fact. It also represents the overhead appearance of quartz crystal (technological magic in its own right), the division of the sky when split once again into 12 equal parts (any 30-degree \"Age\" can be seen from one point on the globe), and the sacred tetractys of Pythagoras (and the Egyptians before him), by which music is best attuned.
The four is of grand importance due to its nature in the solving of our ancestors\' greatest riddles: the winds, the cardinal directions, the placement of temples, the creation of divine proportions in natural geometry, and the first created universal form (the tetrahedron - as anything with less vertices is not a three dimensional object). The Templar Cross was manifested from the melding of compass and straightedge, which is today quite a Masonic symbol; and, what it objectifies is the coordination to designing the layout of every major church, temple, shrine, governmental building, and city street plot. Using nothing but a gnomonic shadow stick and a rope, one can find perfect East and perfect West at sunrise and sunset, and, in that same 24-hour period, will be able to precisely draw upon the Earth the four directions (geomancy) so as to lay out an area or structure to be aligned with equinoxes and solstices, and much more. The Holy Cross is related to this, to the time divisions of the Great Year, to the Tree of Life, and to the crucifix which gave rebirth to the Son and the Holy Ghost. Four is a binary number (divisible to one), as well, which makes it personal to star systems, biological cell division, digital technology, and atomic creation.
The five is of equal greatness to the other designs, in that it signifies the pentagram mathematically related to the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Spiral of life within every single entity of the Heavenly cosmos. In direct relation to the six and four of this artifact, the edges that make the total vision complete would not come together without the Golden Ratio points that mark the hexagram\'s sides. Just as the Great Year is divisible by four and by six, by multiples of five it is in concordance with the astronomical perfection that the Maya and Aztec of ancient Central America discovered. As our hands and feet each have five digits, and our senses number at five (outside of spiritual sensation), all living things literally holler out the phi ratio of the pentagram just by living, breathing, and growing. Also representing the Dog Star calendar that was in reign by Sumerian tribes for nearly a millennium in the years BC, it is known that the 360-degree system of measure is rooted in this number of days which would pass before Sirius would again rise with the sun (out of sync with our own 365 day orbit). Coming from this ancient system is a five (pentacle) way division of 72 (The Three-fold Name of G-d), the culturally popular numbers 12 and 24, and the Saros lunar-relation to the 9 and 18, which very well may give us the La Nina and El Nino shifts, as well as spiritual swaying throughout life. Even Venus, the Morning (Eosphoros) and Evening (Hesperus) Star by itself, moves in a pentacle-fashion throughout the sky as it precesses in passage...
Perhaps the Three Kings of Orient held great secrets for, or of, the new One King...
