Vesica Piscis - the core of the symplegma

/ˌvɛsɪkə ˈpɪskɪs/

The vesica piscis is a geometric shape formed by the intersection of two circles of the same radius, where the center of each circle lies on the perimeter of the other.

The symbol carries significant meaning across several disciplines:

Sacred Geometry: Often referred to as the "womb of the universe," it is considered the foundational building block of sacred geometry.

Christian Iconography: In religious art, the shape is called the mandorla (Italian for "almond"). It acts as a portal, symbolizing the intersection between the divine/heavenly realm and the earthly/material realm.

Mathematics: The exact mathematical length-to-width ratio of a vesica piscis is the irrational number (approx. 1.732).

Ancient Symbolism: Beyond Christian art, the shape has historically been associated with the divine feminine, maternity, creation, and fertility due to its visual likeness to a yoni (vagina).

Duality of Vesica Piscis - the core of the symplegma

Vesica Piscis is given as a name to the area where two circles intersect and are the fundamental key of sacred geometry

Vesica Piscis symbolized the woman’s womb, fertility and naturally the Mother Goddess figure in ancient beliefs and religious traditions. When the womb symbol, one of the most basic symbols of the goddess, was symbolized as Vesica Piscis, this shape was considered in a similar form to the “fish”.

The intersection of this circle with a second circle represents the union of masculine and feminine energies and the expansion of duality. The shape that emerges from the combination of these two energies symbolizes the third energy. In other words, according to the old narratives, this form began to symbolize the Divine Child.
