This work explores the Divine Proportion, a secret principle that structures art, nature, and science. Known by many names — golden ratio, golden section, or Phi — its name is no coincidence. It has been called "divine" because, for millennia, it has been perceived as such through traditions and transmitted knowledge.

Buy The Secret Code (Taschen editions) in our esoteric shop

The Secret Code, published by Taschen editions, is dedicated to the study of the Divine Proportion, a mathematical principle that runs through the history of art, nature, and science. Known as the golden ratio, golden section, or Phi, this harmonic relationship appears in architecture, painting, plant forms, and geometric constructions. The book traces its emergence and use through the centuries.

A principle at the heart of artistic and scientific traditions

The Divine Proportion does not owe its name to chance. Since Antiquity, it has been seen as a key to balance and organization of the visible world. Artists, architects, and thinkers have sought to apply it in their works, convinced that it expressed a fundamental harmony. The book shows how this proportion is found both in pure mathematics and in concrete achievements.

An illustrated work to understand the golden ratio

Richly illustrated, The Secret Code juxtaposes major works, explanatory diagrams, and natural examples to make this principle accessible and understandable. This edition offers a clear and documented synthesis, intended for readers eager to explore the role of the golden ratio in Western culture and beyond. A carefully crafted volume, designed to combine rigor and visual quality.

Priya Hemenway is an American author and researcher specializing in sacred geometry, symbolic mathematics, and structures found in nature. She became known for demanding popular science books dedicated to the golden ratio, natural proportions, and their applications in art, architecture, and ancient traditions. Her work establishes clear links between science, natural forms, and philosophical heritage, with a constant aim to make these concepts accessible without diminishing their content.

Here, we don’t judge.

No matter where you come from, what you believe in, or what you’re looking for: you belong here. You can be a beginner, curious, a casual practitioner, or a daily witch. What matters is sincere intention.

We believe in all forms of magic.

High magic and its rigorous rituals deserve as much respect as spells passed down in the countryside. We read grimoires, respect rites, listen to old stories. Everything practiced with faith deserves serious and curious attention.

We welcome all traditions.

We don’t put one path above another. We talk hoodoo, kabbalah, Christian prayers, elemental magic, folk rituals, Celtic symbols. What matters is respect. Not the label.

We work cleanly.

Each package is carefully prepared by us, here in France. Before shipping, it is purified so it arrives at your home cleansed and positively charged. We strive to use recyclable packaging and reduce our impact as much as possible.

We stay available.

Customer service is us. Not an AI, not a robot, not a call center. If you have a question, a doubt, a problem, you reach us—the same people who select the products, write the descriptions, and prepare the packages.

We stay human-sized.

We are a small passionate team with big ambitions, hands in the herbs, books, and boxes. And we want to keep it that way.
