  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."

  Thobra Alchemical Tarot
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-26-2026, 02:54 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"An extraordinary alchemical tarot born from the visionary art of Wally Van De Velde (Thobra). Originally painted between 1975 and 1978, these 22 luminous works on wood blend mysticism, astrology, and esoteric symbolism into a spiritual masterpiece. Reproduced here for the first time in a limited, numbered edition of 100 copies, this deck captures the essence of the artist’s original paintings — philosophical, strange, and deeply initiatory."

  Alexander von Bernus: Alchemy and the Art of Healing
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 01-17-2026, 12:55 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"The essays united in this book form a whole in themselves. The author is aware that, in them, he has gone much further in his statements about the reality of alchemy and about the alchemical secret carefully guarded by the adepts throughout the ages and almost only hinted at in symbolic language than anyone previously knowledgeable on the matter has done. To fully lift the veil would mean: to forfeit the blessing. For the one who is on the path, what is revealed in this book will lead up to the outer court of the Hermetic temple."
