looking at Da Vinci's Virtuvian Man... it's no co-incidence that he is surrounded by a circle - where-in every significant ratio and dimension is contained.
The pentagram itself contains the golden ratio...
When you think about how this all comes together, it can be a bit awe-inspiring and overwhelming. The man in the circle, outstretched in a pentagram, the 5 points of contact with the world- head (brain), 2 hands and 2 feet. Each has 5 points of contact- head (5 senses), hands and feet each with 5 phalanges.
As babies, one of the first things we discover is our hands and fingers.
So many fives...
