Hermetic Axioms and Metatron's Cube

Here is Metatron's Cube. It is easy to draw with a compass, protractor and ruler. There are many shapes contained within, many of which are platonic solids, the octahedron is referenced here.

Three-dimensional arrows point out different orientations of the octahedron which can all be found in the simple drawing in the center of the picture extracted from Metatron's cube. There is no one correct orientation to the octahedron.

Other structures pop out of Metatron's cube like the icosahedron, the dodecahedron, the hexahedron (cube) and the tetrahedron. According to Charles Gilchrist, for the icosahedron and the dodecahedron to be perfectly represented one needs to extend the branches of the metatrons cube. This theory and scale up is on the Geodesk to-do list. A drafting and modeling program will be used to make the vertices perfectly symmetric.
