I followed along today drawing.. and realized something quite interesting… if your original circle has a radius of 7cm this technique does make a perfect heptagon. I imagine if the radius is deniable by 7 the final circle does meet up with the original… I did it three times and this worked for me, try it and and let me know if this is true!
The ancients may have seen it as disharmonic, being misaligned with the rhythmic order to a small degree. This could have been interpreted as evil since it representing a chaotic force which will not replicate perfectly.
I just saw TOOL (also one of my favorite bands, if not my all time fav) in Phoenix AZ about a month ago. It’s an amazing experience. And the heptagram is used prominently during the show. 🙏🏾 I love watching your videos! And I NEED to start drawing as you suggested. I can understand this as being meditation. Thanks for what you do 🖊
Wasn't this a tricky one to draw? But had fun with it all the same. Thank you for your informative commentary. Must agree with you that this geometrical form carry no evil. It feels mysterious & the unknown can create superstition & fear within us.
Во время просмотра твоих видео я ощущаю спокойствие, умиротворение. Очень помогает в сложное время. Спасибо огромное. Хочу попробовать хотя бы повторить хоть одну мандалу. Просто как терапию.. Именно с твоего канала стала ими интересоваться и всем что с ними связано.
THANM YOU ZAK!!! I have been watching your channel every day this week, all day… with your help and teachings, i am currently on the fourth chakra. I complete them with watercolor and hope to send you some pictures of them when they are complete. Also, have been doing energy work as i go.. and learning from ancient sacred texts along side … i am grateful for you so much. THANK YOU
There's a book A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe and it also has a method for constructing a heptagon which is not precise but close enough. I'm going to try your method. I love your videos and for the past several days have been O D ing on them. Cheers!
Murmurings of birds, or those clouds of birds you see flying together, operate in sets of 8. So each bird is influenced by the 7 birds closest to it, that are around it in a sort of 7 pointed star, and then they all end up in synchrony flying together in one collective swarm. Just one example of this pattern in nature.
I enjoy viewing these videos from time to time. I find them inspiring and incredibly relaxing. I’ll have improved my skills since the last time I watched, and will redraw this with a little more understanding of the geometry and (hopefully) improved accuracy and neatness. I now understand the warning about using metal rulers with pens, and have now have a few pens that are damaged from getting caught between the ruler and the paper. I need to find a good metal ruler with a slightly raised edge! Thank you again for sharing your expertise and inspiration - you are a great teacher.
its been used as a symbol of the qlippoth , the bottom 7 spheres on the tree of life. a necessary initiation process that someone has to go through to get to the other side. Its where, what we call evil dwells.

Psycodelica take me to Tool and Alex Grey and them they take my atention into sacred geometry and then I find you, Thank's so much Zak Korvin, now sacred geometric is my tripp😅😅😅😅, you are amazing mate, how long you drow ?😮
Since it is considered impossible to divide a circle into seven equal parts, this number 7 was considered sacred to the Virgin Goddess Artemis in ancient Greek philosophy and religion. 7 represents virginity. Her temples were built with 7 approximately equal sides..... or so I have heard. Good and Evil is a dualistic concept and so is not absolutely true. At best, it (good and evil) can be only relatively or conventionally 'true;' which is not 'True' at all. The number 7 appears in nature in waveforms: Seven colors of light waves and seven harmonics and therefore seven notes of sound in a scale, and also, seven days of the week. 7 days of the week, 4 weeks in a month, 13 months in a year=364. 364+1 day out of time= 365 days in a year.
Watched this video while 'meditating' for a few hours and it was so mesmerizing. With all the pausing, I believe it took me 1.5 hrs to watch your 6 minute vid. Haha. Love your work. Thank you.
all my mandalas have a symmetry of 7 and all include a heptagram in the center. i used to use this construction method (with a bit of fiddling around) to construct them but then i made myself a pattern using a graphics program that has the precise marks for 28 lines (4*7). saves a lot of time!
Fell on to ypur channel as was eager to draw sacred geometry art.. and you a British lad came along easy peasy to understand you and tutorials..im amazed by your work
Thank you Zak.You are one of the best artist with a lots of interesting facts...it was as amazing as always.. As i am watching ur new drawing...i always end up watching a banch of them again&again..its feels really satisfying. Secred geometry is the key to all. Thank you again and again...cant wait to see the next ones🕊👽💞💫♾⚛🙌💯🕉👽💜👽♥️
not many crop circle making aliens use 7 fold symmetry in their designs, it's too difficult for them. There is another way of getting that 51.42 into infinity number for any size circle, my technical drawing teacher in the late 70's showed us a trick which was a bit more accurate way of doing it , I can't remember how to do it and I've searched everywhere to find the info but no luck. Great video
The seven pointed star is also the mathematics behind the pyramid: 360 ÷ 7 = 51.4285714286. For a 7" circle, your seven points will be 3 and 1/16" apart. John 3:16
Zak you are unleashing the human mind to explore beyond the boundaries of the known to the world of the unknown. Sacred geometry has always fascinated me. Perhaps I need to delve into this art that combines numbers and art that opens a doorway into understanding the root of the "Seed, Petal and the Flower of life to embrace the "Tree of Knowledge" I don't quite know why I am bothered why we cannot draw this free hand, but its almost like it was never meant to be, which I find disturbing. The revelation of the difference of free hand drawing and sacred geometry points to the parallels of "Order and Chaos" Some years ago, I wrote a poem and it went against mainstream academia to say that "Plato and the platonic solids were incomplete and there are 12 symbols and not just 5. I cannot explain how or why I know, but I just do. Good and evil have always been opposing forces and one could argue that it is the free will that allows us to chart our destiny throughout life.
Omg I've just done this n I also did a septagram inside the other one. First attempt I'm really chuffed with myself thanks I love all Ur vids.keep up the good work 👍
Now i know why i've got here... we have more than one thing in common. Thank you for sharing, love the elven star, love tool and definitely love geometry...
Not impossible to draw, just to draw with immaculate construction. Which, as you prove, does not really matter, as we can make those tiny adjustments by eye anyway. I doubt the ancients really though seven was evil, too busy wondering about all the irregular orbits and other anomalies. BTW, I get the feeling you must have a passing acquaintance at least with Keith Critchlow? There is a perfectly good way to divide a straight line by seven, or any number you choose…. Including the awkward ones like 13 , 17 and 19…. A flat stick for smaller measurements or a long length of rope for larger, no feet needed. Dividers almost certainly derive from that process, and the compass is a useful extrapolation. Thanks b6 the way for making me curious, I liked the way your compass locks in place, mine does not do that being of a different generation, it seems very useful so I ordered one, I just hope I won’t break it and am looking forward to putting it to use. The only downfall of the compass is the holes it makes, do you have any solutions? Finding a finer point seems impossible.
I’m trying to understand the point...it seems as though there is some prevailing wisdom that claims you can’t divide a circle into 51.4286 degrees with a straight edge and compass. Obviously you can one way or the other (if nothing else by iteration, getting closer and closer), the bigger question is where this fallacious prevailing wisdom comes from. And of course what does geometry have to do with the sacred in the first place (that also seems to be based on questionable, if prevailing, wisdom).
The "prevailing wisdom" comes from mathematics! It's possible to make a heptagon with tools in addition to the straight edge and compass (like a markable ruler, which can relay distances), but if you only have those two, then it'll never be "mathematically perfect", and iteration would only become exact if it was done for an infinite amount of time (obviously, drawings in the real world don't have to be perfectly correct, so this only is notable from a mathematical standpoint). The reason you can't do 7 is because it doesn't satisfy a particular property (see my other comment).
This geometry has some interesting similarities(visually) when comparing the Vortex maths of Nikola Tesla and re-pupularized in modern day by Marko Rodin... I'm not sure what I'm seeing but perhaps that inspires us to further study. (divide by 9)
I’m not seeing it personally. Compared to the compass and square Freemasons logo which is spot on pattern over the vortex math. Can you try and explain where the pattern is ?
There's some really interesting maths behind it! It has nothing to do with the number 360, because that's just an arbitrary number we picked to split a full revolution into degrees. There's a full mathematic theory as to which numbers can be constructed: 7 and 9 are just examples of impossible ones, and some seemingly obscure numbers like 17 and 257 are actually possible.
Thank you so much for this one. I love this channel! I've seen a lot of your video's. I paint geometrical shapes in bright colors and strong contrast with acrylic on wood (122 x 83 cm) and I will certainly try this one. Thanks for inspiring me.
you know, there are things you can do with oragami that you can't with compass and straightedge. i wonder if you could use paper folding, compass and straightedge to exactly make a heptagram. ever thought of adding origamics to your toolset?

I imagine if the radius is deniable by 7 the final circle does meet up with the original… I did it three times and this worked for me, try it and and let me know if this is true!
Can confirm! A radius of 3.5cm works as well :)
The ancients may have seen it as disharmonic, being misaligned with the rhythmic order to a small degree. This could have been interpreted as evil since it representing a chaotic force which will not replicate perfectly.
That would make sense.
If anything that makes it more like "God" or whatever you want to call the whole unknown
A person's intention determines whether it's evil or good. Learning more than just how to draw beautiful mandalas. Great reminder to us all. Cheers.

7 is the Number of Holly Spirit,
The Will of God, Creator Spirit that created everything and was with God Almighty from the beginning of the Creation when the Almighty God said : “ Let there be Light”
7 is very powerful number as It rules everything
Ex.
- It took 7 periods of time for God to achieve the creation ( 7 days)
- 7 days in a Week,
- In medicine, the wound starts healing after 7 days
- A good practitioner medicine Dr gives appointments in terms of weeks
- Woman eggs require 2x7 days to get mature
- Wine fermentation require 3x7 days to complete and get wine
- Concrete require 3x7 days to strengthen
- Woman menstruations 🩸 cycle require 4x7 days ( Normal menstruations)
- 7 cosmic planets ( in Bible revelations it is mentioned 7 cities)
- 7 skies in deep spirituality
- 7 rainbow colors
- 7 music notes
- 7 blood groups
Etc…

I can draw a perfect 7-pointed star by first drawing the shape of a heart and 7 straight lines...can't show you here obviously, but it works. :)
Congratulation !!!
6.06 minute of your video ,adjustment of point, is it drawing problem or other. Thanking you brother.
Thanks! But I’m not sure I follow
Here in the USA, many law enforcement agencies use it on their badges along with the Star of David (6 pointed star).
Fell on to ypur channel as was eager to draw sacred geometry art.. and you a British lad came along easy peasy to understand you and tutorials..im amazed by your work
Very interesting… 7 , 9 and 1 3 my lucky numbers!
in the same way the swastika was a tibetan religious symbol not a representation of a genocidal nation

Merci beaucoup!
Sorry to say but I don't like this drawing actually. It just that it doesn't feel harmonius like the others you ussually do. Just personnal feeling ^^
No worries!
It indeed feels very dynamic instead of static. Kind of like the seed pattern of sunflowers.
The dynamic is restless, so it is not peaceful to watch.
