"The natural objects, they are His, this herb He has created, but its inherent virtue He has not created; for each virtue is uncreated, that is, God is without beginning and not created, and thus all virtues and forces were in God before heaven and earth and before all things had been created...Herbs are created just as trees and stars..." - Paracelsus AKA Phillipus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (1493-1541)
