  Pardesco: Where Mathematics Becomes Meditation
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - Yesterday, 02:10 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Bridging the gap between the unseen and the seen.

Pardesco translates higher-dimensional mathematics into physical art. Born from a fusion of ancient sacred geometry and modern algorithmic design, our work uses precision fabrication to reveal the structures underlying our universe.

From our Cincinnati studio to collections in 27 countries, we turn abstract 4D concepts into tangible objects of meditation.

Handcrafted in Cincinnati • Exploring dimensions since 2018."

  A History of Hindu Chemistry
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-26-2026, 03:47 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"A History of Hindu Chemistry by Prafulla Chandra Ray is a seminal two-volume work that explores the extensive development of chemical knowledge and alchemical traditions in ancient India, and is available in a modern reprint from Kurukshetra Books. The book challenged Eurocentric narratives of scientific history by highlighting India's significant contributions to global chemical science."

  Symbolic Transfigurations of Jinhua
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-26-2026, 03:26 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"The Secret of the Golden Flower (Taiyi Jinhua Zongzhi 太乙金華宗旨), a Qing dynasty spirit-writing (fuji扶乩) text, is widely known through the Wilhelm–Jung translation lineage, where jinhua 金華 is rendered as “Golden Flower” and read as mandala-like symbolism. Based on a close reading of the Daozang Jiyao 道藏輯要version, this article argues that in the Chinese text jinhua is not primarily a floral image but a technical and experiential term for luminosity in Daoist inner-alchemical cultivation."

  Paracelsus & Alchemical Medicine
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-26-2026, 03:04 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (1493-1541)—known as Paracelsus—was the most revolutionary physician of the Renaissance. He transformed both medicine and alchemy, creating iatrochemistry (medical chemistry) and establishing the principle that alchemy's true purpose is healing, not making gold."
