'''Metatron's Cube''' is a [[Sacred geometry|sacred]] [[geometric]] figure composed of 13 equal [[circle]]s with [[Line (geometry)|lines]] from the center of each circle extending out to the centers of the other 12 circles, also described as a variant of the Flower of Life.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://angels.about.com/od/Famous-Archangels/f/What-Is-Archangel-Metatron-S-Cube-In-Sacred-Geometry.htm|title=Metatron's Cube and Sacred Geometry|author=Whitney Hopler|work=About.com Religion & Spirituality}}</ref> |

==Description== |
|||
The name of Metatron's Cube makes reference to [[Metatron]], an angel mentioned in apocryphal texts including the [[Second Book of Enoch]] and the [[3 Enoch|Book of the Palaces]].<ref>A. Orlov, The Enoch-Metatron Tradition (Tuebingen: Mohr-Siebeck, 2005) 148-208; http://www.scribd.com/doc/2024701/Hebrew-book-of-3-Enoch.</ref> These texts rank Metatron second only to the [[Abrahamic God|God]] in the hierarchy of being.{{citation needed|reason=Author does not relate to any source which states this|date=September 2015}} The derivation of Metatron's Cube from the Flower of Life, which [[Talmud|Jewish texts]] states, was excluded from human experience during the exile from Eden.{{cn|date=July 2015}} This has led some scholars including [[Johann Andreas Eisenmenger]] to portray Metatron as the means by which humanity was given knowledge of [[Tetragrammaton|YHVH]]. |
