The above diagram is the universal geometric concept of the 'early Witch cults' in central europe. Contained within it are the structures of sacred art (or language) whose 'bones' are constantly being fleshed of myths down through the ages of human development. The dawn of human intellect is held within this 'seed.'
In the earliest eras of 'recorded' central european culture very little deviation is found from this 'divine' plan. For this 'is' the sacred plan of the great mother, revealed to her children. Let us now look at some examples expressing agreement to these concepts.
In Marija Gimbutas' book entitled, "The Language of the Goddess" (1991 ed.), on page 12, figure 17 is a set of symbols collected from hundreds of goddess figurines and related cult objects. These sacred markings are mostly taken from the sacred geometric diagram depicted above, certainly representing mythical concepts if not phonic signs of the earliest languages. The runic alphabet can be derived from our sacred map.
Moving along to another book by Marija Gimbutas' entitled, "The Goddesses and Gods of Old Europe" (1982 ed.), on page 90, figure 46 is a collection of crosses of various types and pre-labyrinth designs. The author states on page 89, the "hooks or branching lines attached to the four arms of the cross reinforce its dynamic expression." In looking at the sacred geometry above, these diagrams are delineated precisely to its structure.
