Resolving some questions on timing

One query I’ve incessantly encountered is: when ought to we spray out the biodynamic preparations?

I don’t assume it’s within the spirit of biodynamics or anthroposophy to present a inflexible time as a result of the non secular day is a rhythmic phenomenon. Sunlight hours increase throughout the summer time and shrink throughout the winter, so a exact time just isn’t equally relevant to each winter and summer time for spraying.

Lili Kolisko affirms in her work that the non secular starting of the 12 months is within the autumn. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer mirrors this concept when he says that issues within the orchard come up from issues the farmer did incorrect final 12 months (and even earlier).

The Jewish new 12 months, Rosh Hashanah, begins within the autumn simply as their Sabbath begins with the sunset on the day before today. Christian liturgical traditions additionally preserve a part of this concept, contemplating their very own Sabbath to start with sunset the day before today.

Rudolf Steiner himself claims that the original Easter celebration was in autumn, whereby an effigy of Adonis can be submerged for 3 days, after which “resurrected” as a promise of recent life throughout a season when it looks as if every little thing is dying externally. The celebration of resurrection was finally transposed to spring.
