Calendar of the Soul

Northern Hemisphere

Week 6

There has arisen from its narrow limits
My self and finds itself
As revelation of all worlds
Within the sway of time and space;
The world, as archetype divine,
Displays to me at every turn
The truth of my own likeness.

Southern Hemisphere

Week 32

I feel my own force, bearing fruit
And gaining strength to give me to the world.
My inmost being I feel charged with power
To turn with clearer insight
Toward the weaving of life's destiny.

—Translation by Ruth and Hans Pusch

The Festivals and their Meaning II:
Easter

This volume is a tremendous help for participating in the deep spiritual realities behind the Easter festival. Throughout his life Steiner talked about a modern spiritually conscious approach to the festivals of the year. Here is a compilation of what he had to say at various times about Easter.

Eight lectures given between the years 1908 and 1922. With a Foreword by A. P. Shepherd, this translation, from shorthand reports unrevised by the lecturer, was edited and revised by Dorothy S. Osmond, Alan P. Shepherd and Charles Davy.
