Stained Glass Patterns

I'm creating this thread for stained glass pattern suggestions/discussions...

_______________________________


Earlier in my life, I stumbled upon some Pythagorean hocus pocus metaphysics. Maybe the following patterns will work as an inspiration for some of the stained glass windows we might encounter in Bloodstained.

Pythagoras of Samos probably lived from about 570 B.C.E. to around 480 B.C.E. Besides being a poster boy for the Pythagorean theorem, Pythagoras and his disciples created a religiously colored natural philosophical doctrine. Pythagoras thought he could understand the cosmos with the help of arithmetics (number in itself), geometry (number in space) and harmonics (number in time). This might be something that alchemists of the Bloodstained mythos would show interest in.

Here follows a list of geometrical figures that seem to have held importance for some of the Pythagoreans. Each figure (number) was believed to possess distinctive traits.

The Monad (1)



The Dyad (2)



The Triad (3)



The Tetrad (4)



The Pentad (5)



The Hexad (6)



The Heptad (7)



The Octad (8)
