Re: Insect peppers

[Lloyd Charles]

Dear Hugh and List members                                           Like everybody else I have had mixed results with peppering, some spectacular, many so -so. The two that have worked the best for me have been decomposed rather than burnt. There is a little passage on this in Steiners book     "Burning is the best and fastest way to go. You could also let it decay, but it is difficult to collect the end products of decomposition, although in some ways it might be better"    this is about the middle of lecture six. Now I spose I could pretend that I'm clever and this was part of a plan but its the accidental result of slackness and forgetfullness. I gathered some slugs (quite a few) into a bottle of alcohol and, absent minded, left them on the front porch for a couple of months in the sun. When their mates decided to eat all my wifes strawberries and I went looking for the bodies for cremation there was only some brown mucky liquid in the bottle (90 proof spirit so burning this lot is going to be interesting) I just used it as was to make a D8 potency and put that out with a water can - spectacular result!!    The slug one worked so well that I decided to try again when we got a few white ants in the back of our house - this time I meant to do it - some termites - these boys are pretty active they ate my 1inch hardwood tomato stakes clean through three times in the one season last year - from a trap box in the yard went into a bottle of water with a bit of solubilised ant dirt from the burrows, put in the sun on the window sill for about a week or so and then potentised up - six different potencies from D8 up to 5mm mixed together and drizzled round once about six weeks ago - this one is looking good at this stage too. These were instrument potencies in both cases so there was no actual substance left the bottles - its not a fungus or disease effect!  Sounds crazy I know but it really worked!   Cheers all Lloyd Charles
