The principles that Rudolf Steiner brought into the world through Biodynamics are harmonious to the spiritual wisdom of the past that arose in the context of human interaction with Nature.

Natural ecology developed through constant interaction between humans and the demands of seasonal changes. When people found out what worked they stayed with it. Alchemical science formed these hard won insights into rational systems based on the complex rhythms of natural phenomena. Systems of plant and animal husbandry based on alchemical four elements theory sought tempering between seasonal tasks and natural fluctuations that resulted in crop pathology cycles.

The articles in this section are focused on gardening. They are based on findings of contemporary plant horticulture blended with alchemical insights. The goal is to present practical means for minimizing labor and maximizing health for those who work the land.
