Well friends, here we are again, at the edge. How will you step off?

Tonight at the stroke of Midnight, many Biodynamic Farmers around the world, will be creating one of the BD preparations that most folks don’t get to experience – The ‘Three Kings Prep’ designed by Hugo Erbe, a contemporary of Dr. Rudolf Steiner.

The indications say that on New Year’s day - grind by hand, gold, frankincense & myrrh. This reflects the gifts brought by the 3 Wise Magi, rooted in esoteric teachings, as an offering to the Matthew Jesus child. These 3 sacred substances, serve as sacrificial gifts to the Elemental Beings.

Gold - a symbol of exoteric wisdom-filled power & the wisdom of the past –

Frankincense - a symbol of the World Ether weaving around us as a ‘gesture’ or intention of sacrifice, in which the Spirit is living - also symbolizing the transience of the present –

Myrrh - a symbol of the victory of life over death - And of the forces of the present pointing into the future.

Then on 6 January (12th Night - Epiphany or 3 Kings Day) we stir this preparation in an undulating water vortex for an hour - & then walk the perimeter of the land, spraying it outwards, creating a circle of protection & light.

Hugo Erbe speaks of the significance of water in this process. “In the context of human evolution, the time when it was spiritually appropriate to make burnt offerings must be held to belong to the past. Appropriate for our present time, and therefore effective, are offerings made with water. This is the reason why a water-based form for the sacrificial substances belonging to The Three Kings Preparation had to be found.”

We spray & circumambulate with hearts full of the warmth of love, acknowledging our responsibility of stewarding the Earth, making a commitment to the Elemental Beings & the ‘Spirit of Place’ - giving them this ‘Spiritual Sustenance’.

This year it may not happen on Zinniker Farm because Markus fell in the barn & broke his leg – requiring surgery where they had to put metal pins in!
