The “Seed of Life” is a contemporary name for an ancient geometric figure. It consists of seven overlapping circles with the same diameter. Six of them are regularly spaced within the seventh, producing a rosette with eighteen lens shaped petals: six smaller ones inside and twelve larger ones outside.
This figure can be replicated in six different directions, creating an interlocking net of circles and rosettes. A version constructed from nineteen circles is known today as the “Flower of Life”.
The Seed of Life reflects the beautiful mysteries of creation. Like a seed in nature, it holds the blueprints for life and the potential for creation and growth – it is the cosmic womb from which all life emerges.
