visual content for my website

I spent a lot of time on illustrator vectoring the logos to use on my website, shown below. I also managed to get my content sorted for the website.  


The Egg of Life symbol is composed of seven circles taken from the design of the Flower of Life. The shape of the Egg of Life is said to be the shape of a multi-cellular embryo in its first hours of creation

The Flower of Life is the modern name given to a geometrical figure composed of multiple  evenly spaced, overlapping circles. They are arranged to form a flower-like pattern with a sixfold symmetry. The most common form of the Flower of Life is hexagonal pattern (where the center of each circle is on the circumference of six surrounding circles of the same diameter), made up of 19 complete circles and 36 partial circular arcs, enclosed by a large circle.


Metatron’s cube depicts the five platonic solids which may be derived form the flower of life. The five platonic solids are geometrical forms which are said to act as a template from which all life springs, according to  spiritual belief. The Platonic solids are five structures that are crucial because they are the building blocks of organic life.

Many forms observed in nature can be related to geometry, for example, honeybees construct hexagonal cells to hold their honey

The ‘Seed of Life’ Is formed from seven circles being placed with sixfold symmetry, forming a pattern of circles and lenses, which acts as abasic component of the Flower of Life’s design

The Seed of Life is a symbol depicting the seven days of creation in which the Judeo-Christian God created life; Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 23:12, 31:16-17, Isaiah 56:6-8.

The first step in forming the Seed of Life (or Flower of Life) is to begin with a circle (as in a 2D model) or a sphere (as in a 3D model).According to some religious beliefs, the first step in building the Seed of Life was the creation of the octahedron by a divine creator.


The Tree of life is a concept, a metaphor for common descent, and a motif in various world theologies and philosophies. The Kabbalistic form of the Tree of life has historically been adopted by some Jews, Christians, Hermeticists, and pagans. Along with the Seed of Life, in New Age Qabalah it is believed to be part of the geometry that parallels the cycle of the fruit tree. This relationship is implied when these two forms are superimposed onto each other.

The Tree of Life is most widely recognized as a concept within the Kabbalah, which is used to understand the nature of God and the manner in which he created the world ex nihilo. The Kabbalists developed this concept into a full model of reality, using the tree to depict a "map" of creation.
