Fanning the Flame of Life with Biodynamics

Valerian, Silica, and the Accelerating Life

“You resting, luminous glow,
Engender warmth of life,
Enwarm the life of soul
To meet with vigor each test
And permeate itself with spirit
In quiet, light-outstreaming.
You luminous glow, gain strength!”

• Rudolf Steiner, Twelve Moods¹

Plants emerge from what once was inside the sun and return the same energy back to the cosmos. Their leaves unfold like etheric flames and culminate in seeds, which fly off like sparks and have the power to spread their green flames out of the hidden life within the soil. If we want our plants to burn brightly, we must nourish that inner fire correctly. Biodynamics offers a way to resurrect dead soil.
