"The platonic solids are 3D polyhedra where each face is identical. In alchemical texts each form is associated with one of the five elements. The tetrahedron represents fire; the hexahedron, earth; the octahedron, air; the icosahedron, water; and the dodecahedron, ether (combining fire, earth, air and water). The star tetrahedron contains two intersecting tedrahedra. It is the atomic structure of silicon chip quartz used in computers to store memory, as well as the shape of our energetic vehicle known as a Merkaba."

"In the previous installment we concluded our journey through the Ancient Ages by introducing the first women who contributed to science, technology, engineering and mathematics. This time we move on to the Middle Ages where medicine was the one that benefited the most from the contributions made by women, both geographically and temporally distanced."
"Keng Hsien-Seng (around 975 A.D.)
A Chinese woman, daughter of an eminent scholar named Keng Chhien, she is described by Wu Shu in his writings on science as a woman who from a young age was intelligent and liked to read books. She was also fond of writing, wrote poetry worthy of compliments, but who was also familiar with Taoist techniques and who could control spirits. She became an expert in yellow and white alchemy with many other powerful, mysterious and incomprehensible transformations. Wu Shu says that no one knew how she obtained all this knowledge."

"Elements is an eclectic, evocative, and resoundingly beautiful treasury of imagery exploring depictions of the elemental forces that reveal their profound significance to ancient philosophers, alchemists, and astrologers, and modern artists, photographers, and scientists alike. Expertly curated, themed, and paired by image alchemist Stephen Ellcock, modern and visionary images are juxtaposed with the ancient and arcane, and the creative power of the elements is contrasted with the disastrous. Following physician and occultist Robert Fludd's (1574-1637) order of the elements, Ellcock guides readers through a remarkable selection of images, ascending from earth through water, air, and fire before culminating in the most spiritual of the elements, celestial aether."
