The host of this workshop is a personal friend of mine. If you are in the Ashland area, you might want to take it in.

It’s springtime! And I urge everyone everywhere to search out the many activities available in your local areas that talk and teach about gardening, permaculture, biodynamics. Or you may just want to get together with family, neighbors and friends to dig in the soil and plant the seed!

  1. I recommend a book entitled “stone age farming” by Alanna Moore. It is jampacked with info and descriptions of working sies wrt “power” towers, biodynamics, radionics etc etc etc

  2. Can anyone clarify my experiment: I was completing two four foot towers, because that’s how the scavenged materials played out. I found an 8 foot length of PVC pipe 3 inches in diameter, I did the calculations based upon the Pythagorean theorem and the definition of tangent over hypotenuse to give me the Phi ratio I was looking for. Kind of exciting was how I got the copper wire. You have probably seen ‘Yuli’s Gold’ and ‘Gal Young Un’ by Victor Nunez. He is a professor at FSU. He was getting rid of a bunch of heavy cables (I know – why didn’t I strip them and sell the copper?). Anyhow I took the copper, heavy gauge, stripped it, and created two antennas. Now the parts I don’t really understand are what the difference is between two wires wrapped around a 3 inch pipe, if one is in parallel, and the other is crisscrossing. Any ideas on this? I tried it both ways. I still need to locate some paramagnetic soil, but I did bring my $450 PCSM meter with me, so I can evaluate the best soil to fill the pipes with. Then I should have some pretty neat electromagnetic field attractors based upon the Phi ratio. The difference between the Round Towers of Ireland and my device is a serious difference in height. Whether the stone age Celts needed that because they did not have pure copper is a question. Also, I am not sure how the ground wave interference will affect shorter towers. The National High Field Mag Lab is in Tallahassee, so if I get any unusual anomalies, I can wander over and ask dumb questions of the Nobel Laureates.

  3. The principle below is based upon real science, the context is fiction, but very biodynamic.

    The Tower

    Why did the crows not appear? Matti was a topologist, but it scarcely required a topologist to design the tower. It was a little over three meters in height and 9.2 centimeters in diameter. The farm was sheltered beneath Mary’s Peak. Early in the year, Matti had driven up to the ridge just below the summit. There, the oldest outcropping had large weathered deposits of soil. He carefully gathered two ten liter buckets of soil. The paramagnetic value of the soil was 1650 microGauss on his PCSM meter. Such a high reading from the mountain’s own outcrop assured Matti that the mountain’s field would be drawn into the valley. Driving down the mountain, he could feel its presence following him.
    Arriving at the farm, Ian saw him carrying the two heavy buckets. “What’s that for, Matti?”
    “Towers,” grunted Matti. Setting them down, “I want to draw the energy of the mountain onto the fields.”
    Ian was familiar with radionics and the work of Rudolf Steiner; he made biodynamic piles himself. “How do you plan to do that?”
    “See those 3 meter PVC pipes?” Near them were long strands of bare copper wire. “The gauge of the wire is thick enough to hold its shape within the pipe. I wish to make coils that correspond to Phi.”
    “Phi?” Ian had a degree in horticulture from OSU, but he was unfamiliar with the term.
    “It is the golden ratio, 1.618. The tangent of the hypotenuse over the diameter gives us a slope that in one full turn rises 23.5 centimeters.”
    Ian still looked puzzled.
    Matti recognized the look, “I forget, you are not a mathematician. Think of nature as a wise mistress. She does not wish to spend more energy than necessary. Logarithmic spiral growth allows an organism whether it be plant or animal to grow at a constant rate without having to change shape. This tower will act like a dielectric antenna to attract the same frequencies you use in your biodynamic methods. At the top of the tower, the four helically coiled copper wires will emerge to the four directions. The tower acts like a concentrator. When the incoming electromagnetic field excites the resonance of the dielectric resonator antenna, a mode field pattern is built up.”
    “Sounds like a good theory,” Ian had offered. “but how do you know it will work?”

    It was now Fall, six months since Matti had designed the towers. The second tower had been placed near the power lines that bordered two sides of the farm along the road. Their four prongs, rather than radiate outward, were tightly woven together, pointing vertically up to diffuse the unnatural radiation generated by the power lines. The female tower, as he imagined it, was located in the center of the fifteen hectare parcel where the crops grew.
    Matti and Ian were resting from their manual labor with the harvest in. Ian asked, “Matti, have you noticed anything as a result of your two towers?”
    “Only something peculiar, that seems unrelated.”
    “What’s that?”
    “For thirty years, Harry, the farm manager, has carefully monitored the behavior of weather, birds, and insects on his fields. This is the first year that the mob of crows, which normally overfly his fields, have consistently avoided landing. Just last week, he sowed five hectares in three types of winter wheat. A few doves came in, were chased off by a hawk, but no crows. I can’t figure it out.”
    Ian reflected, “What inspired you to design the tower in the first place?”
    “Phil Callahan. I met him when in Florida. He was an entomologist who became fascinated with insect communication. During WWII, he was stationed in a God forsaken part of Scotland operating a radio communications centre for the Allies. They had these old vacuum tubes and a few in particular seemed to attract butterflies. After he retired, he visited the Round Towers of Ireland and determined that they acted as dielectric antenna. He proposed that the ancient Celts had built the towers to pull in earth’s Schumann resonance to charge the fields.”
    “And?” Ian prompted.
    “Plants are diamagnetic; temporarily create magnetic susceptibility or spin in the soil through the paramagnetic value, and that enhances plant growth.”
    Ian got a mischievous look, “Matti, you’re gonna hate me for this, but I think I have figured it out.”
    Matti shrugged, “Okay, it’s my turn to ask, what?”
    “You’ve read Harry’s ‘Transition Document’? You remember the part about insects that are considered pests, but really they are beneficials?”
    “Yes.”
    “Because they see in the infrared, and at frequencies not visible to human sight, plants that look healthy may have a mineral deficiency.”
    Matti got a look of comprehension, “Fractals.”
    “Right, different order of magnitude. Harry’s fields are in balance. Crows are considered pests, but really they are just trying to tell the farmer that things are out of balance. The crows, by avoiding the farm, are saying that the natural earth resonance has been restored through the towers.”
    Matti smiled, “I may be the topologist with an electromagnetic field theory, but you, young fellow, have the common sense. Thanks.”

    Green Spiral

    The green spiral is made from quarter-circles tangent to the interior of each in a two dimensional grid.

    Approximate logarithmic spirals can occur in nature (for example, the arms of spiral galaxies or sunflower heads). It is sometimes stated that nautilus shells get wider in the pattern of a golden spiral, and hence are related to both ? and the Fibonacci series. In truth, nautilus shells exhibit logarithmic spiral growth, but at a rate distinctly different from that of the golden spiral. The reason for this growth pattern is that it allows the organism to grow at a constant rate without having to change shape. Spirals are common features in nature; golden spirals are but one special case of these.

    To design a resonant tower to attract Schumann resonant frequencies, a testable hypothesis suggests building a tower with a 4” diameter pipe. Coils can be set with the tangent ratio of 1.618 – hypotenuse over diameter of the pipe. That will give an approximate 5.1” rise for every 180 degree ascent in the pipe. On this basis a 360 degree turn would create a spiral sine wave of 10.2”.

    Dielectric antenna: The dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) in the front end functions as a concentrator of incoming electromagnetic fields. When the electromagnetic field excites the resonance of the dielectric resonator antenna a mode field pattern is built up inside the structure.

    To enhance this design, we chose to pack the interior of the tube with the highest paramagnetic value soil available. In one case, it was old basalt volcanic soils with a value of 1650 microgauss. Further, a tightly woven coil was placed in the soil and then the interval mentioned above ran the length of the tube. At the upper end the four bare coils of coil wire were spread in four directions.

    Based upon the research of Phil Callahan with the Round Towers of Ireland, he suggests that ground waves will interfere with this unless the front end concentrator is approximately 3 meters above ground
