Metatron's Cube
The angel Metatron has a number of interesting features, not least of which is Metatron's Cube.
What Is Metatron's Cube?
The Metatron "cube" is a geometric figure that is found in early Judaic and Christian texts is known as "Metatron's Cube". This interesting
figure was believed to have been created by Metatron and has been used as a ward or protective seal.Many people today still use the grid as a mandala for decoration or meditation and you can buy jewelry and other items featuring or inspired by the design.
Symbolism
The "cube" is interesting from a geometric perspective because it is essentially a representation of the five platonic solids flattened into two dimensional space. This sort of "Flatland" approach brings to mind ideas of different planes of reality with angels as creatures of a higher dimension than us.It's also interesting that the number of lines in the full "Cube" is 78 - the same as the number of cards in the Tarot deck.
Note that Metatron's Cube is not the same as the Seal of Metatron from the Silent Hill games.
