The Cycle of the Year

The Cycle of the Year (as Breathing Process of the Earth) features 5 lectures from Rudolf Steiner. The lectures were delivered between March 31 and April 8, 1923.

Steiner uncovers the meaningful relationship between humanity and the seasons of the Earth, the solstices, and the equinoxes. The esoteric realities behind Christian festivals (Christmas, Easter, St. John's, and Michaelmas) are further discussed in relation to sub-earthly and supra-earthly forces, the ancient Mysteries, the activity of the Archangel Michael, morality, and the arts.
