These Vessels came from my desire to create a cover for a mason jars that protects the jars from breaking or clanging together while sailing on my boat.

As I discovered the different geometries in the patterns of the weavings, I became interested in the intention of use of the vessels based on the meanings in Sacred Geometry

Together with the rich history of knot tying in sailing and the mysticism inherent in sailing lore through the practice of sailing the globe and navigating by the stars, these vessels will carry you on your travels.

Mason Jars are practical, recyclable, and re-useable and can provide an alternative to paper, plastic and styrofoam cups.

Mason Jars and the Masonic traditions from which their name is shared, honor the wisdom of Sacred Geometry as the building block for meaning in architecture and design

4-3-2 vessel mantra

Some interesting arithmetic related to the number 432: Mantra Vessel

4+3+2=9  Mantra Vessels have Nine Strands

9x9=81  One Revolution (it takes three to make a change)

1/81 = 12345678 This is the sequence of tying the knots

8/81= 98765432 This is the second sequence that brings you back to the start

98765432 x 9 = 888888888

12345678 x 9 = 111111111

432x432=186624 (close to the accepted universal constant speed of light)

186624 /9 /9 /9 /9 /9 = 3.16 (similar to the value of pi)


12 x 360 = 4320 (link between the number 12 and 432, degrees in a circle, etc.)

The diameter of the sun is 864,000 miles (2 x 432). The diameter of the moon is 2160 miles (432 / 2).
Comment - If these measurements were not as they are, we would not experience a total eclipse of the sun. These ratios and numbers, combined with the cycle of the Precession of the Equinoxes of the Earth at 25,920 years (60x432)

Below is the mandala version of the 4-3-2 Vessel



“… as a moment’s attention to a calculator will demonstrate, 60 x 60 x 60 x 2 = 432.\,000, while 60 x 60 x 60 x 60 x 2 = 25,920,000; 25,920 being the number of years required in the precession of the equinoxes for the completion of one full circuit of the Zodiac, since… the advance of the equinoctial points along the Zodiacal celestial way proceeds at the rate of 1 degree in 72 years. And 360 degrees x 72 years = 25,920 years, for one completion of a Zodiacal round, which period has for centuries been known as a Great or Platonic Year. Bt 25, 920 divided by 60 equals 432 . And so again this number appears, now, however, in exact relation to a scientifically verifiable cosmological eon or cycle of time.”

[a person] ” in perfect condition, at rest, has normally a heart rate of approximately 1 beat per second: 60 beats a minute; 3,600 beats an hour; in 12 hours 43,200 beats and in 24 hours 82,400. So we hold this measure in our hearts, as well as in the manufactured watches on our wrists.”

p71
“according to the Dhyanabindu and other related Upanishads, all living beings inhale an exhale 21,600 times a day, this being in evidence of their spiritual as well as physical identity in the nature of the universal maya-sakti-devi, the Great Goddess who in India is celebrated in a litany of her 108 names. 21,600 x 2 = 43,200. but 108 x 2 = 216, while 108 x 4 = 432, and 432 x 60 = 25, 920.”
