In the second preparation step the horns, immediately after filling, are buried in the earth and rest there through the winter. Vegetation has withdrawn into germinal states; the earth lives spiritually in a sense-awake condition in its in-breathing, and in the elements of the watery and the solid is most strongly exposed to the crystal-forming forces of the sphere of the fixed stars. Once again we invert the nature process — a second step of emancipation from the natural course — in that the amorphous substance of the manure, which in its natural course is taken up into the humus-forming processes of summer, is now exposed to the crystal-forming forces of winter. The spatial inversion is followed by one in time. The cow manure becomes a receptive matrix for the forces that, mediated through the physical elemental states of the solid and the liquid, ray into the hollow of the horn within the earth and — dammed back — concentrate themselves in the mass of the manure as a formative fertilising force.
