Christ in the Etheric
What does the phrase “Christ in the etheric” mean? “Behold, he cometh with clouds.” (Rev.1:7) Several enigmatic references to Christ returning again to the earth in the clouds are the centerpiece of much theological debate. Some think that the “clouds of heaven” point to the Rapture by which the faithful will be transported away from…
Article treasure trove from older Biodynamic Journal
A month or so ago, Dennis shared something special with me – an old three-ring binder containing articles from Biodynamics Journal from the 70s and 80s, when he was first learning about biodynamics.

Biodynamic Alchemy and Spagyrics
This workshop will focus on the alchemical principle of spagyric substance that is at the core of Biodynamic preparation methods. The term spagyric was coined by the great alchemist Paracelsus to describe procedures for taking apart a substance at one level of existence and reinvesting it into itself it at a higher, more energetic, level of existence.
The resulting spagyric substance transcends its natural order energetically. Seen in this way, putting cow manure in a cow horn is alchemically spagyric.
