Spiritual Foundations of Beekeeping

By: LORENZEN, IWER THOR

Price: $28.00

Publisher: Temple Lodge:

Seller ID: 14782

ISBN: 1906999988

The honey bee has lived in close association with human beings for millennia. Tragically, however, humanity’s once intimate connection with this unique creature has been harmed by our increasingly utilitarian and exploitative dealings with the natural world. We are now in urgent need of re-establishing a deeper relationship, not just for the sake of the bees themselves but for the whole of nature – and of course for ourselves.
Lorenzen – a true master beekeeper – provides numerous insights to enable a more fruitful engagement with the living world. Offering an enric...

Bees and the Ancient Mysteries

By: LORENZEN, IWER THOR

Price: $26.99

Publisher: Temple Lodge:

Seller ID: 15231

ISBN: 1912230194

In an extraordinary exposition, Lorenzen - an expert beekeeper and student of contemporary spiritual science - describes the Logos mysteries, based at the ancient temple of Artemis in Ephesus, where priestesses were known as "Melissas" (honeybees), while the sacrificial priests were called “"Essenes" (bee kings). These cultic mysteries, he says, bore remarkable parallels to the workings of a bee colony—specifically in the relationship between the queen and worker bees to the bees' spiritual group soul.

Lorenzen commences his unique study with a discussion o...

ISBN: 0863158021

Binding: Paperback

Ehrenfried Pfeiffer, who introduced biodynamics into North America, developed a method in the 1930s to visually demonstrate the presence of formative forces -- that is, forces acting on living organisms which emanate from the Earth, the Sun and other planets. He arrived at the sensitive crystallization method using copper chloride crystals mixed with samples of the particular plant. Sensitive crystallization is of great consequence to winemaking and winemakers. Its vibrant, beautiful images startlingly illustrate different qualities of a wine: its tasting qualiti...

Biographies of 76 vegetables with detailed accounts of how to grow them, their climate of origin, their transformation over time, and their nutritional and therapeutic potential.

In the 1980s, Joel became editor of the journal Biodynamics. In it, he began his interviews with vegetables, which have continued for 3...

Gardening as a Sacred Art

By: NAYDLER, JEREMY

Price: $41.99

Publisher: United Kingdom, Floris Books: 2011

Seller ID: 11427

ISBN: 086315834X

50 colour illustrations
This beautifully illustrated book presents a unique history of how people have worked with nature. For the ancients, gardens served as the home of spiritual and divine beings. The idea that gardens were sacred places continued in the European Middle Ages. Since the seventeenth century, however, nature has been seen more as a physical resource to be exploited. The change in gardening styles reflects this development, with the creation of grand garden terraces and landscapes, such as Versailles, which imposed human order and design on nature. More recently gardening...

By: PHILBRICK, HELEN AND GREGG, RICHARD

Price: $24.99

Publisher: Floris Books:

Seller ID: 14338

ISBN: 1782502866

It has long been observed, by farmers, gardeners and botanists alike, that from time to time certain plants seem to affect certain other plants growing their near them — both favourably and unfavourably. The observation of these relationships stimulates imagination and sensitiveness of observation to other living relationships and thereby opens new doors to further understanding of the world of nature. By taking account of these relationships, farmers and gardeners can improve the quality of food and flowers, reduce losses from pests and disease, drought and frost, and enhance both satis...

Price: $26.99

Publisher: Temple Lodge:

Seller ID: 14778

ISBN: 1912230038

‘The most important task of the bees, apart from the preparation of honey, wax and propolis, is the healing of the atmosphere! The honey bee, apis mellifera, alone, is able to perform this task. This is its first and foremost purpose.’
– Ralf Roessner

Describing the Genius of Bees as the ‘group consciousness’ of the hive, Ralf Roessner presents an extraordinary commentary based on first-hand spiritual-scientific research and experience. He studies the mission of the Genius of Bees, the hexagonal structure of ‘the crystalline heaven’ within...
