The Cycle of the Year as Breathing-Process of the Earth (Lectures Section)

These lectures focus on the four Christian festival seasons, elaborating on the complementary nature of Christmas with Midsummer and Easter with Michaelmas. The esoteric realities behind the festivals are discussed in relation to sub-earthly and super-earthly powers, the equinoxes, the ancient Mysteries, Michael’s activity, morality, and the musical-poetic and visual arts. This volume along with Michaelmas and the Soul-Forces of Man completes the entire German volume GA 223. Link: http://wn.rudolfsteinerelib.org/Lectures/CycleYear/CyYear_index.html
