Makes sense!
Thanks Allen!

Don't know much about homeopathy - but seems to work for many.
I want to know why!  Maybe too scientific minded - I tend to toss the
mysticism - and want concrete evidence!  Just flipping around sites BD
(all new to me) seems riddled with nebulous assumptions and mystical
elements.  Am I wrong? 

Yeah, me too. Recognize that BD is one aspect (the agricultural part) of a very complete conceptual model developed by Steiner. Other aspects relate to Waldorf education, Eurythmy dance/music therapy, medical treatments, etc.

You can take the system as an alternative conceptual model -- a way to explain our observations about the natural world. In that sense, it is neither to be proved or disproved -- the question is whether it is useful. Does it explain things? Is conceptual system consistent? Does it lead to new understandings of how plants behave? Does it lead to remedies when you observe something off? And BD does all that, once you learn the system. In that system elementals or nature spirits can be thought of a poetic means for us to imagine how life is manifesting.

  But elementals,
prayers to the deities, moon phases?????  Tho I try to be open minded,
my base line is skepticism!

The next part of is more difficult to believe and that is that any of this stuff actually works. For that, there is a body of documented experiments.
I tried to cover this stuff in a rational way on the BD Intro at www.oregonbd.org
