Study symbolic system of the cathedral Saint -Etienne of Bourges

 

Measurements on the ground give:

Bourges

121,60 meters length, 40,50 meters of width, 37,15 meters height. 

Esoteric metrology gives to dimensions known as pythagoricians: 

399 feet (overall length), 333 feet (length of the nave), 133 feet (interior width). The foot is clunisien (0,3048 M)   

The cut in transversal presents a équilateral triangle of 133 feet and 2 inches on side and 123 feet 4 inches height. 

Us here in the tetraktys of Pythagore. 

The absence of transept gives to the nave an impressive length 13 spans, uninterrupted, 3 levels in height (large arcades, vitraillé triforium, and high windows), a radiating chorus with 5 vaults. http://medieval.mrugala.net/Roman/Bourges/Bourges.html

The site of the cathedral was used since strong a long time. The Gallic ones were already installed there. The aevnsa quotes a black virgin in Bourges. No account, no trace however.

Three large earth currents cross under the left side of the cathedral, one moving towards Saint Jacques of compostelle, another towards the Mount Holy Odile and Srasbourg and another towards Marseilles. (the side aisles north and south, built between 1225 and 1250, follow two of these currents)

In the crypt, the tellurism is very powerful, especially in the northern part. I remember to have visited it, a long time ago, with Henri Blanquart. It seems to to me that while entering the crypt by the left, the sculptures teach the way with the visitors: a centaur for example, aims with its arc the place where the pélerin must go to feel and use as well as possible the forces of the building…bourges_cr There is normally a “small crypt” under the chorus, which is not “the large crypt”, badly named since on the level of the ground and opened by the stained glasses on outside.bourges_cry
