From Steiner Books http://www.steinerbooks.org/detail.html?id=9780880105705 on The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily, A Fairy Tale:

“Goethe’s fairy tale is one of the most important stories of the Anthroposophic and Rosicrucian streams. It is a timeless, allegorical tale of initiation and had a profound impact on Rudolf Steiner and on the formulation of his teachings. He called the fairy tale a kind of “secret revelation,” an “apocalypse.”As the authors point out in The Time Is At Hand! Goethe’s fairy tale begins with a specific image: a river separating two lands that contrast to each other, as do the sensory world and the spiritual world. The story ends with a bridge, created through sacrifice, that spans the river between the two lands.”

Please join us for one or all of our March, April or May gatherings to read and discuss this important tale about spiritual and social renewal.  Each will take place at the Ashwood Campus in the Early Childhood Center on the third Sunday of the month, 4-5:30.  Dates:  March 21, April 18, May 16, 2010.  See poster below.
