In the morning, Tom will teach a practical drawing session on sacred geometry, accompanied by a slide presentation. Its central axis can be geometrically demonstrated to embody an equinoctial middle path between the solstitial extremes of Cancer and Capricorn and the culmination of this equinoctial/paschal middle way is then the rising of the Bright Morning Star. The story of Inanna's descent and resurrection is involved here, and the rising of the Bright Morning Star in the east is central to the cathedral's design. The design of the cathedral appears to embody an ancient cosmological Venusian myth concerning death and resurrection, which in the Christian context is perceived through the paschal story of Christ but recognised as a recurrence of the ancient myth.
A significant aspect of this is the 12th century Christian fascination with the pre-Christian ancient world and the embracing of this pre-Christian past via the perception that it was in harmony with the Christianity of the time. The cathedral is rooted in an openness to the 12th century Christian immersion in the Seven Liberal Arts arts from an overtly spiritual/philosophical perspective. The City of Wells is a religious centre going back into the ancient past. He is currently engaged in a detailed analysis of the design of Wells Cathedral. Tom Bree teaches sacred geometry as a practical art, at the Prince's School of Traditional Arts, London, as well as in other parts of the UK and Europe. Sacred Geometry Drawing Class and Tour of Wells In advance of our trip to Wells on Monday, Tom will introduce us to the beautiful art of sacred geometry and to the power of its presence in the design of the cathedral at Wells. 8:00 - 9:30 pm - Evening session with Tom Bree: Sacred Geometry
