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, it is nourished by the stars, and it gives nourishment to all the living things it shelters in its womb. Through the spirit received from on high, the earth hatches the minerals in her womb as the mother her unborn child.
The late fifteenth century German Benedictine Monk
and Alchemist Basilius Valentinus
