Investigating the Universe
“It is every one’s duty to investigate the mysteries and wonderful secrets which the Creator has infused into all things.”
–Basilius Valentinus (a.k.a. Basil Valentine, German 15th Century Alchemist and Canon of the Benedictine Priory of Sankt Peter in Erfurt, Germany)
The Living Earth
“The earth is not a dead body, but is inhabited by a spirit that is its life and soul. All created things, minerals included, draw their strength from the earth spirit. This spirit is life.”
–Basilius Valentinus (a.k.a. Basil Valentine, German 15th Century Alchemist and Canon of the Benedictine Priory of Sankt Peter in Erfurt, Germany)
“The Way of the Earth: Encounters With Nature in Ancient and Contemporary Thought” (T. C. McLuhan)
