When I started getting interested in Permaculture, my
family just compared it to biodynamics - because that's what it is
really.

It isn't. Permaculturists don't bury cow horns full of cow manure, or
practice planting by the moon or use BD 500, or any of the other
formulas used by those who follow biodynamics

Yes, permaculture is very close to biodynamics.

No, it isn't, as Fran just pointed out.

Also
the philosophy of permies and biodynamics are identical, a holistic and
spriritual approach to nature and the human being.

No, they are not identical philosophies.

Both are based on
the research by Steiner -

Misleading rubbish.

Permaculture is not based on Steiner or his theory of anthroposophy.
Pc was developed in Australia by Mollison and Holmgren. It would be hard
to imagine two people less interested in fairies, angels devas, auras
and the occult.

Janet.

Permaculture cover the gambit of society and economics incorporating such
things as town planning, construction and transport, monetary systems etc
etc. I have not seen that sort of thing come out of bio-dynamics.
