That's also part of it. There are lunar trees and solar trees. And indigenous people knew all about them and what they do if you sit under them. The held their decision making meeting underneath the solar tree. And mediated under the lunar tree.

But the alchemy of trees and plants is also very practical. Think about mushrooms. The mycelium eats cellulose and creates a soft, spungy structure out of it as the mushroom. Same with photosynthese. A leaf catches light and produces sugars.

That's different from the shortcuts we make in chemistry. We cut and paste. And make it into a dead synthetic structure. Nature transforms and makes the soul of all of it more alive than it ever was....
