Anthroposophy made perfect sense to me forty years ago and still does. But I still think people find their own path and must be free to do so. Surely people must also be allowed to manage bees and produced honey in their own way- but after training and exploring all options with an open mind all of the options and different methods. So I am off to do my training with the local group of bee keepers before finding an Anthroposophical approach.

Well, we do vary in opinions and that's fine. I do think that biodynamic agriculture really does work. Well, we do vary in opinions and that’s fine.

So I suspect that when you say: "insane mess of superstitious nonsense gathered from the hallucinations of Rudolf Steiner" that you are referring his preparations. Now is it because they are beyond your comprehension and therefore scare you that you make such judgements? Or just that you are not read to go beyond your own limitations to consider them? Since you have seeming done very little research on Steiner and respond to things foreign to your way of thinking in such a negative manner, it is apparent that it is to threatening to you and you defend yourself by attacking it. Well it is sad that you make such rash judgements from such ignorance. HOw interesting there are just as ignorant and close minded folks in Sweden as the US.

The foundation is regular ecological/organic methods and there's nothing wrong with those. If you actually <em>read</em> my post instead of just posted your instinctive knee-jerk reaction to anyone criticising biodynamics and anthroposophy you might have noticed that it's ONLY the "spiritual" aspects I'm critical of - as well as the lying.

For those of us who ACTUALLY think that biodynamic agriculture works (even if you put aside the spiritual aspect, you can see results) your blog coming up on google as the first page is a disgrace to the movement.

Yes, it's true. Steiner held 9 lectures on bees, actually! It's a whole book! And talked a lot about bees in other places too. Re Jennifer's comment above: Who wouldn't appreciate nature and biology? But nature isn't exclusive to waldorf, and biology (like, that science thing!) is not a huge part of waldorf... Unless you count painting and reading poems as biology. (Nothing bad with painting and poems, but I wouldn't classify it as biology...!) -z But did you know bees (rather the bee collective, the beehive) have a very highly evolved group soul?

It cannot just be a placebo effect. My first 2 Great Danes, before I discovered homeopathy and was using normal treatments via the vets died at 6 and 3 since using homeopathy my dogs live to 11 and 12. There are too many other instances to relate, but I felt I just wanted to let you know some people are getting positive results Hi Found your site surfing the web, and just had to say I have had great success with homeopathy, both animals and myself/mother (ill since young age, and now nearly 85) and various acquaintances, many of whom were completely sceptical, and probably still are (though cured) I am not a homeopathist, have no “axe to grind” just relate my own experiences.

It's disappointing that you would place something on the web that is so uneducated. Yes, anthroposophy is strange, and it honestly it takes some getting used to. What I have found is that the big goal is to live in a state of equinimity (a Buddhist sort of approach) in an effort not to harm those around you with your words or actions. This is especially important when dealing with an unrully child in a classroom. That is the big underlying thing I have found. In my class of teacher trainees there are 5 students who were in Waldorf schools as children and they are new to the concepts of anthroposophy. THere is also a big focus on nature and seasons, which as a biologist I am sure that you can appreciate, but from a scientific method approach. I pose this question to you-why can't life be created solely in a test tube? What is the missing element? am in Waldorf teacher training currently, and it seems clear to me that you do not understand what anthroposophy is.
