Crystal Grid!
You may already be familiar with the main element in this month's crystal grid... the golden spiral! Also known as the Fibonacci spiral, here the spiral is spiraled again, creating a full circle and further showcasing all its mathematical perfection.
Fibonnaci spiral example
If you're not familiar, the golden spiral is a geometric concept derived from the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so on. The golden spiral is created by drawing quarter circles inside these squares, starting from the smallest square and moving outward. As the squares get larger, the curve of the quarter circles forms a spiral.

This spiral has been found in various natural phenomena and works of art, including seashells, hurricanes, galaxies, and some famous pieces of architecture and artwork. The golden spiral is often associated with aesthetic harmony and balance due to its perfect proportions. Many believe that the golden spiral is a fundamental pattern that underlies the universe's structure and a key to understanding the order and harmony of creation.

As for its use here in this crystal grid design, it is a potentially powerful symbol for encouraging focused energy flow through any medium. With 8 spirals in a harmonious pattern, you can use this grid to connect/copy/bind either 8 individual crystals on the inner smallest squares and spirals, or one large one on the entire inner area. The outer sections of each spiral could also be used with binding crystal selections, in hopes to amplify or copy intentions towards the center of the grid placements.

No matter how you decide to use this grid design, it is truly a fascinating symbol to learn about or put into practice. There are so many wonderful designs to consider in the art of sacred geometry, this one is founded upon core mathematical concepts which are essential to many other symbols used in crystal grids and meditative therapy practices. We hope it helps and inspires you!
