The platonic solids are the repeating geometric patterns that are the basic building blocks of life. All of life we know it is composed of these geometric structures: Our physical bodies, cells, DNA, plants, animals, minerals, planets, galaxies and universes are endlessly repeating these archetypal patterns. the five pieces are:
Tetrahedron (4 triangular faces - representing the Fire Element): symbolizes willpower, courage, and passion
Cube or Hexahedron (6 square faces - representing the Earth Element): symbolizes stability and physical action
Octahedron (8 triangular faces - representing the Air Element): symbolizes intellect, inspiration, mental acuity, and new beginnings
Icosahedron (20 triangular faces - representing the Water Element): symbolizes intuition, emotions, and dreams.
