The weather was sunny and unusually mild on the day Thetis, in the most dramatic way, approached Sandön — one of the archipelago outposts farthest away in the Baltic sea — with sea-weed in her hair. Once ashore, she demanded to meet the local elementals. We spoke to the gnomes and the fairies, had lunch […]

‹Der Anthroposophische Bilderrahmen› lautet der Titel der am 3. Oktober 2011 in Dornach eröffneten Ausstellung. Sie zeigt vorwiegend leere Rahmen, nur einige Exponate beinhalten die Bilder, für die die Rahmen gefertigt wurden – eine kunstgeschichtliche Premiere, die erstmals ‹anthroposophische› Bilderrahmen in großer Vielfalt und herausragenden Exemplaren würdigt und kontrastreich im und zum östlichen Rohbautreppenhaus des […]

I was sent this interview with Hitchens via email. The mistake he talks about is probably not irrelevant in the context of media reports on waldorf education There’s a laziness in my profession, of tending to make the mistake I just identified of judging people by their reputation. In other words, if you call Saudi […]

Shared by AWSNA on facebook: “If you’ve had the experience of binding a book, knitting a sock, playing a recorder, then you feel that you can build a rocket ship-or learn a software program you’ve never touched. It’s not bravado, just a quiet confidence. There is nothing you can’t do. Why couldn’t you? Why couldn’t […]

according to this article, the old beton beast, the Goetheanum, looks like a crying animal when it rains. This funny observation aside, I highly recommend the article not just because of the text but because of all the pictures. Here’s one example, of an interior.

Via Roger I recieve the news about another Steiner-related novel. Aleister Crowley, Jack the Ripper, Sarah Winchester, Andrew Carnegie, Rudolf Steiner – what could all these people from such completely different locations have to do with any myth or legend that may reside in the small town of Glastonbury? Well…in order to know the answer […]

I recommend reading the latest post on UKanthroposophy. It’s about Steiner education, anthroposophy, the Goetheanum and Steiner’s Study of Man. ‘In summary, from the Hague Circle document and the various other sources quoted and the information given in the first post in this series, it has been shown Steiner’s ‘Study of Man’ is the bedrock […]

Jag gillar Arthur Zajonc. Någorlunda, tror jag, i alla fall. Hur som helst läser jag det han skriver med glädje. Jag begriper bara inte varför Vidarkliniken presenterar honom som vore han någon från antroposofin fristående (han var tidigare det Antroposofiska Sällskapets ordförande i USA). Arthur Zajonc är professor i fysik vid Amherst College. Han är […]

reading recommendation! Three years ago he began, together with other teachers, to set up the anthroposophic track at the Ort High School in Tivon. Anthroposophy is a worldview founded in the early 20th century by philosopher and mystic Rudolf Steiner, who tried to build a cosmic spiritual world in accordance with the needs of modern […]

This is most likely not literature of the more sublime kind. I don’t actually think it’s worth reading, but still…* Initial critiques of Bowie resident Rebecca Coleman’s manuscript “The Kingdom of Childhood” suggested it was too dark. When protagonist Judy McFarland, 43, becomes involved in a sexual relationship with Zach, 16, a student at the […]

This warning for various obscure things was found in German newspaper: Ob Sektenführer, die im Auftrag beliebiger “höherer Mächte” rechtsextreme Ideologien verbreiten, oder Heilpraktiker, die als “medizinische Laien auf die Leute losgelassen” werden: “Es geht um breitere ideologische Grundsätze, die sich immer stärker vernetzen und durch die nicht nur die demokratische Grundordnung, sondern auch das […]
