The Roman Catholic Church
by Rudolf Steiner
In the Spring of 1920 Rudolf Steiner gave three lectures highly critical of the Roman Catholic Church’s political history. The lectures were meant for members of the Anthroposophical Society only, but were soon leaked beyond the Society, resulting in some very bad feelings and even violence in the heavily Catholic Swiss district where Dornach is located. The lectures were transcribed from stenographic notes into German, and are included in a series of seventeen lectures entitled: Heilfaktoren für den Sozialen Organismus (Means for Healing the Social Organism). This book contains English and Spanish translations of these three lectures. Translated by María Teresa Gutiérrez.
En la primavera de 1920, Rudolf Steiner dio tres conferencias muy críticas sobre la historia política de la Iglesia Católica Romana, dirigidas exclusivamente a los miembros de la Sociedad Antroposófica. Pronto, sin embargo, su contenido se filtró fuera de la Sociedad y causó gran animosidad, e incluso reacciones violentas, en la región predominantemente católica de Suiza en la que se sitúa Dornach. Estas conferencias fueron transcriptas de las notas estenográficas en alemán, y se encuentran incluidas en un ciclo de diecisiete conferencias titulado Heilfaktoren für den Sozialen Organismus (Medios para sanar el organismo social). En el presente libro, aparecen traducidas al inglés y al español. Translated by María Teresa Gutiérrez.

Fire Borne: Anthroposophy in America
by Jean W. Yeager
FIRE BORNE tells the story of the Anthroposophical Society, a small spiritual group inspired by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), and “daughter movements,” like Waldorf Education, Biodynamics, RSF Social Finance, Arts, Camphill Villages, Medical/Therapeutic Centers, Publishers, etc. This book is a timeline, starting in 1886, that shows not only the major and minor happenings within the Anthroposophical Movement, but also what was happening at that same time throughout the World. This timeline, is a richly illustrated history of the results of the work which this small group achieved in fighting the culture wars over its first century in America. This timeline is a richly illustrated history amplified by voluminous end-notes, legal By-laws, and administrative documents from Yeager's own files supporting the results of the work.

Anthroposophical Guidelines
by Rudolf Steiner
This volume contains a collection of short essays by Steiner for the members of the
Anthroposophical Society. They were written near the end of Steiner’s life and in a
way summarize, in highly concentrated form, the whole of anthroposophy. Each essay
ends with a short summary of its contents and these are known, in this translation,
as the “guidelines.” The guidelines are mantras and can be used quite
fruitfully for meditation.
Frank Thomas Smith provides a new, reinvigorated translation of Rudolf Steiner’s classic,
“Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts.” Any serious student of Anthroposophy,
in fact, any individual, any citizen of the world, needs to read this book.

The Talking Trees / Los Árboles Parlantes
by Frank Thomas Smith
Alma and Nico live on opposite ends of a forest near their homes. One day when they
are both reading the same book (The Magic Mound) within the forest, but far from
each other, the trees suddenly talk to them. They are very surprised to hear trees
talk, but the trees explain that they only talk to people who listen. They explain
that they heard men talking about cutting down the forest to sell the wood or the
land or build things on it. Alma and Nico are alarmed by this news and decide to do
something together to prevent it. So they talk to many other children, who decide
to join them in their attempt to save the forest. A bi-lingual, English and Spanish,
tale for children age 8 on up.

The Foundation Course
by Rudolf Steiner
This book is a First Edition, never before translated into
English, series of fifteen lectures. Rudolf Steiner gave these lectures in
the Fall of 1921 at Dornach, Switzerland. These lectures and discussions,
in which more than one hundred people interested in the questions of a renewal
of religious life and work participated, Rudolf Steiner talks about the ways
in which religious activity can be fertilized through spiritual knowledge and
brought into new forms of worship. The “Documentary Supplements”
included in the separate German edition containing reproductions of blackboard
drawings is included in this English translation.
These fifteen lectures are a translation from the German edition
“Vorträge und Kurse über christlich-religiöses Wirken,”
(Bn/GA/CW Number 343 in the Bibliographical Survey, 1961), published by the
Rudolf Steiner-Nachlassverwaltung, Dornach, Switzerland, 1977. They are
published as transcripts unrevised by the lecturer. This First English
edition was translated by Hanna von Maltitz, and was edited by James D.
Stewart, e.Librarian at the The e.Lib, Inc. Illustrations and artwork
were created by Hanna von Maltitz. Thanks to

The Coronavirus Pandemic II: Further Anthroposophical Perspectives
by Judith von Halle
From the Foreword:
“In this book, the main focus is not on the distressing social
developments that have arisen as consequence of the coronavirus pandemic
– and for good reason: Although there are already (thankfully) many
quality descriptions and articles about this complex of problems and
questions, at the same time on the other hand a dangerous knowledge-vacuum has
arisen. Therefore in this book I will refrain from elaborating on the problems
already made widely visible in favor of this knowledge-vacuum, which will be
outlined as an addition to what has already been described in Vol. I.
“Gaining higher knowledge is possible for everyone. But it doesn’t just
fall into your lap. One must be prepared to do something for it, and also to
leave something. In order to avoid spiritual totalitarianism one must first
know something about what spirituality actually means. And acquiring this
knowledge, the most selfless acquisition a person can make, is ultimately at
the core of this book.”
This unique English translation is the first time in print for this German book.
It is newly translated by Frank Thomas Smith. Edited by James D. Stewart. Permission
to publish kindly given by the Verlag für Anthroposophie, Dornach
Switzerland.

The Magic Mound
by Frank Thomas Smith
Sergio and his younger brother, Divino are poor children who live in a favela (slum)
in Sao Paulo, Brazil. They go on vacation with their revered teacher, dona Ute
(pronounced oo-teh), to the country house of one of Ute’s friends. Once there, they
leave the house together to fetch kindling wood. They cross a stream and discover a
strange round mound surrounded by white stones. Divino impetuously climbs the mound
and convinces his brother to follow. Due to the mound’s magic forces, they fall asleep.
They wake up in the land of Maxa. A girl, Mara, leads them through the jungle to her
village where they meet the queen, Mamara. She tells them the history of the marvelous
juice of immortality, vitaluz. They never grow old or die by drinking vitaluz, but
never have children either. Queen Mamara and Princess Mara ask the boys to rescue
Mireya, a young girl also from Brazil, who had been kidnapped by King Alaram. The boys
agree to try, assisted by Platero, a white donkey as charming as he is stubborn, and a
mysterious little man named Tamoshot. The search for Mireya is a dangerous adventure,
but also the means of learning many important things about life.
This is the original English edition of La Lomita Magica, by Frank Thomas Smith,
with cover art by Ludmila Garcia San Miguel and artwork for The Magic Mound Map by
Maria Sol Varela. Edited by James D. Stewart.

Art as a Bridge between the Sensible and the Supersensible
by Rudolf Steiner
This lecture was held just over one hundred years ago, in the
aftermath of the First World War and the ‘flu pandemic’
of 1917-1919 — a period of far-reaching constraints and
widespread human suffering. The correspondence to our own times
are hard to ignore. In these circumstances, it is all the more
appropriate to bring this lecture to the fore.
A lecture given by Rudolf Steiner: from Vergangenheits- und
Zukunftsimpulse im sozialen Geschehen. (Past and Future Impulses in Social Life Bn/GA/CW 190.
Lecture VI, 30th March 1919 in Dornach, Switzerland.
This unique English translation is the first time in print for this lecture

Artemis and the Artemision
by Peter Stebbing
With the ruins of the Artemis temple almost non-existent today, it is perhaps
not surprising that little interest is generally accorded this 6th Wonder of
the World. Yet we can still gain an idea of it and of the legendary statue of
Artemis, from reconstruction drawings and archaeological finds — supported
by literary and historical sources. Study of this important Greek Mystery
Center can shed light on the cultural impulses appropriate for our time.

Esoteric Lessons for the First Class of the Free School for Spiritual Science at the Goetheanum (Volume One)
by Rudolf Steiner
During the re-founding of the Anthroposophical Society at Christmas 1923, Rudolf Steiner also
reconstituted the 'Esoteric School' which had originally functioned in Germany from 1904 until
1914, when the outset of the First World War made it's continuance impossible.
However, the original school was only for a relatively few selected individuals, whereas the new
school was incorporated into the Free School for Spiritual Science at the Goetheanum in Dornach,
Switzerland.
Rudolf Steiner was only able to give nineteen lessons — plus seven 'recapitulation' lessons — for
the First Class before his illness and death. His intention had been to develop three classes. The
lessons were recorded by a stenographer, then typed in clear text without having been reviewed by
Rudolf Steiner. They had not been publicly accessible until recently. This is Volume 1 of 3.

Toward a Threefold Society
by Rudolf Steiner
A reinvigorated translation by Frank Thomas Smith of
Steiner's “Basic Issues of the Social Question,” number 23 in the Bibliography of
1961. Available at Amazon.com:
https://amzn.to/2P4pMnx
This work, written late in the life of Rudolf Steiner, makes use of a threefold analysis of the
human individual and of human society. Man as an individual, or in a group, functions basically
in three modes: thinking/perceiving, feeling/valuing, and willing/planning/acting. A unit of
functioning, whether a part of an individual or part of a society has its proper role. Each role
needs a certain respect from other areas if it is to function properly. Each role should be
appropriately related to the other two roles or functions. In society, the three partitions are:
the cultural-spiritual, the production-economic, and the “sphere of rights” including
legal rights. As the analysis unfolds, it may be noticed that there is seldom a “pure
case” but there are various mixes with one aspect often predominating. The manner in which
the three aspects of society relate to the three aspects of the individual is a fascinating and
intricate one, and one which has an important bearing on the future of human society.
This is not another “utopian” dialog, but a practical suggestion concerning details
which may be incorporated into society one at a time ... from time to time. These suggestions are
as relevant now as they were when Rudolf Steiner brought them forth over 100 years ago, just after
the First World Was. At the end of the book, Steiner writes: “... either people will accommodate
their thinking to the requirements of reality, or they will have learned nothing from the calamity and
will cause innumerable new ones to occur in the future.” History has since proven these words to
be prophetic.

The Worldview of Herman Grimm in Relation to Spiritual Science
by Rudolf Steiner
In content, this translation into English of Rudolf Steiner's lecture on the
art historian, author and researcher Herman Grimm, can be said to be a paean to Grimm's wholly original and unorthodox
approach to art history. Herman Grimm's work differs substantially from standard, more intellectual approaches, as
becomes evident from statements of Herman Grimm quoted here:
“If, by some miracle, Michelangelo were called from the dead, to live among us again, and if I were to meet him,
I would humbly stand aside to let him pass: if Raphael came by, I would follow him, to see whether or not I might
have the opportunity of hearing a few words from his lips. With Leonardo and Michelangelo, one can confine oneself
to reporting what they once were in their day; with Raphael, one has to start from what he is for us today. Concerning
the two others, a slight veil has passed over them, but not over Raphael. He belongs among those whose growth is as yet
far from being at an end. We may imagine that Raphael will present ever new riddles to future generations of humanity.”
This is a lecture, given by Rudolf Steiner, entitled Die Weltanschauung eines Kulturforschers der Gegenwart, Herman Grimm,
und die Geistesforschung and contained in the volume Ergebnisse der Geistesforschung (Results of Spiritual Research)
GA 62. The series in which this lecture was given at the Architektenhaus in Berlin, may be said to underline its overall
importance for Rudolf Steiner: Held January 16th 1913 subsequent to a lecture January 30th on Raphael. Also known as,
Herman Grimm, Contemporary Culture and Spiritual Developments, and Anthroposophy.
This lecture is the fourth in a series of four lectures from GA 62, that are
newly translated by Peter Stebbing. Edited by James Stewart.

Anthroposophical Fantasies
by Roberto Fox
Anthroposophy, also known as Spiritual Science, is not known for fantastic
literature, or fiction at all. So how can stories with titles like
“Life on Mars,” or “The Girl in the Floppy Hat,”
or “To Hunt a Nazi” qualify as anthroposophical. They do not —
until now. Therefore, this book is groundbreaking. You may smile at times,
even laugh; other stories may cause a lump in your throat, perhaps even a
tear or two. Oh, and by the way, fundamentalists are advised not to partake
of this fantastical frosting on their anthroposophical cake.Here, then, are
thirteen provocative, groundbreaking fictional tales for anthroposophists,
and really anyone, to enjoy. By Roberto Fox, as told to Frank Thomas Smith.

Fairy Tales: in the Light of Spiritual Investigation and A Mongolian Legend
by Rudolf Steiner
From the contents of this lecture: “Fairy tales and sagas are comparable to a
good angel, granted human beings as a companion from birth on their life's
wanderings, to be a trustworthy comrade throughout — offering comradeship,
and making life inwardly into a truly ensouled fairy tale!”
This is a lecture, given by Rudolf Steiner, entitled
Märchendichtungen im Lichte der Geistesforschung,
and contained in the volume
Ergebnisse der Geistesforschung (Results of
Spiritual Research) GA 62. The series in which this lecture was given at the
Architektenhaus in Berlin, may be said to underline its overall importance
for Rudolf Steiner: held February 6th 1913 subsequent to a lecture January
30th on Raphael, it was followed a week later, on February 13th, by a lecture
on Leonardo da Vinci.
As a bonus, A Mongolian Legend is included. It is from a matinee lecture given
by Rudolf Steiner: Mythen und Sagen. Okkulte Zeichen und Symbole (Myths and Legends.
Occult Signs and Symbols). From GA 101. Lecture IV, 21st October 1907 in Berlin.
This lecture is the third in a series of four lectures from GA 62, that are

Leonardo's Spiritual Stature
by Rudolf Steiner
“The three great masters of the Renaissance [Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael]
strove to work in the spirit of that age. And the one who already had a kind
of seed, I would say, that grew into everything that has come and is still to
come since that time was Leonardo.” - Rudolf Steiner, Dornach, November 1,
1916. A single lecture given by Rudolf Steiner at Berlin on February 13th
1913, translated by Peter Stebbing, and edited by James D. Stewart, the
e.Librarian at the Rudolf Steiner e.Lib. It is the eleventh of
fourteen lectures in the volume entitled, Results of Spiritual Investigation,
published in German as, Ergebnisse der Geistesforschung.
This lecture is the second in a series of four lectures from GA 62, that are newly

The Impulse of Renewal for Culture and Science
by Rudolf Steiner
This is a First Edition English translation of a series of
seven lectures, entitled The Impulse of Renewal for Culture and Science,
and published in German as, Erneuerungs-Impuls fuer Kultur und Wissenschaft
(Bn/GA/CW Number 81 in the Bibliographical Survey, 1961).
This course was organized by the Federation of Anthroposophical University Work
and the Berlin Branch of the Anthroposophical Society. It was the aim of the
organizers, through lectures by various speakers, to “give an impression of
what suggestions in various fields can be given by anthroposophy.” For each
course day, Rudolf Steiner gave the introductory lecture. In these lectures,
Steiner explains the relationships between Anthroposophy and the natural
sciences, philosophy, pedagogy, theology, the social sciences, and
linguistics. He also brings to light the biological differences between
humans and animals from an anthroposophical perspective.

Raphael's Mission
by Rudolf Steiner
This lecture on Raphael points to an ever greater
inwardness or “internalizing” of the human soul in the
future development of humanity. Steiner's large-format watercolours
can be said to be an unmistakable further expression of this. Though
it might seem improbable at first to link Raphael's works so directly
with the painting impulse of Rudolf Steiner, separated as they are by
four hundred years. An underlying relation becomes apparent, nonetheless,
despite the manifest contrast. The Madonnas of Raphael will self-evidently
never be surpassed. Yet, the future development of art, always “a
daughter of the divine,” implies, in Rudolf Steiner's sense, an
ongoing spiritualization. We begin to recognize Raphael's relevance for
today and for the future. A lecture given by Rudolf Steiner: from Ergebnisse
der Geistesforschung. (Some Results of Spiritual Research). Bn/GA/CW 62.
Lecture IX, 30th January 1913 in Berlin.

The Social Question
by Rudolf Steiner
This book is a First Edition, never before translated into
English, series of six lectures. Rudolf Steiner gave these lectures early in
the year of 1919 at Zurich, Switzerland. Here Steiner proffers ideas to solve
the social problems and necessities required by life, by studying the life
sciences and social life, and the living conditions of the present-day
humans. He expresses how the social will should be the basis of a new
scientific order, and what the role of the modern worker should be.These six
lectures are a translation from the German edition "Die soziale Frage,"
(Bn/GA/CW Number 328 in the Bibliographical Survey, 1961), published by the
Rudolf Steiner-Nachlassverwaltung, Dornach, Switzerland, 1977. They are
published as transcripts unrevised by the lecturer. This First English
edition was translated by Hanna von Maltitz, and was edited by James D.
Stewart, e.Librarian at the "Rudolf Steiner Archive &
e.Lib."Illustrations and artwork were created by Hanna von Maltitz. Thanks to
the Basil Gibaud Memorial Trust, this translation has been made available for
everyone. The text of both the printed and eBook editions has numerous links
