Valerian is otherwise: it streams outward into air and warmth what, under astral influence, has formed itself as substance-compositions in its life processes within leaf, root-rhizome, and stem. In the case of the fragrance-poor stinging nettle, these formative forces configure the substances toward bearership of the "magnificent inward working." It preserves this force-quality behind the protective wall of its form, which appears outwardly as though sealed off. Valerian again otherwise: it streams out everything that its astral organisation has composed in substances through the working of formative forces. The appearance of the stinging nettle in its self-assertion and firmness — turned to image — points above all to the creative force of the life ether; that of the environment-open valerian, to the force of the warmth ether and light ether. Valerian is a giver of warmth and light.
