Sacred Agriculture: The Alchemy of Biodynamics Paperback – April 20, 2013

If there were ever a book to meditate upon during this winter, it would be Dennis Klocek's most recent book, Sacred Agriculture: The Alchemy of Biodynamics. As a biodynamic farmer and a practicing Jungian analyst, I feel greatly enriched by this book.It is a book best read aloud slowly, and perhaps with friends. Not that Klocek's language is difficult--the chapters are conversational. Any of us who have heard him speak can almost hear his voice, recognize his cadence, delighting in the characteristic flash of brilliance suddenly stepping from behind a genuine folksy style.But the matter of the book is truly evolutionary, a new paradigm. Yes, Klocek is giving his own version of what he thinks Rudolf Steiner meant in the 1924 series of lectures that became the bible of Biodynamics: Agriculture Course: Birth of the Biodynamic Method (and this definitely is best to be read aloud with friends!)Klocek not only develops Steiner's work, making it accessible, but he also goes further, offering matrixes and meditations as guides and tools in developing an evolving consciousness that may well shift our relationship to ourselves, to each other, to the earth and cosmos.It is a book well worth the study, a pulling back of the veil that separates the materialist thinking processes of so-called scientific methods from the development and use of grounded Imagination.

Just starting this heavy duty work by Dennis Klocek, a master alchemist. I put off buying it for a few years, my loss. I will probably update this review as I go deeper. As for now I’m fascinated by his scope and breadth of anthroposophy, biodynamics, history and much more. Check out his many lectures on YouTube.

Very explanatory as to why bio dynamic preparations are effective. Also a good introduction to the actual meaning of alchemy. A bit repetitive at the end. Well worth the effort to chew yourself through this book

Dennis Klocek presents a comprehensive explanation of the spiritual and scientific foundations of Rudolph Steiner's Biodynamic preparations. Like Steiner, Klocek is a modern day alchemist and, in reading the book, I felt I was sitting at the feet of a Master.

This book contains within it the answer to any question you could ever conceive related to Biodynamics. Dennis Klocek puts Steiner's work into a fully comprehensible information dense format.Do not hesitate to buy if you have any interest in agriculture whatsoever.

You'll have to take your time with this book. Dense in richness.

Readers will be hypnotized by this!!!

Dennis never fails to delight and inform. Many thanks!
