Synopsis
The "Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily" 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. Indeed, Rudolf Steiner was so deeply impressed by Goethe's fairy tale, that he used it as the model for his first mystery drama, "The Portal of Initiation". It is said that, prior to its first performance, he told friends, "I know how long and deeply you have loved Goethe's fairy tale, and today I am happy to tell you that you will see it performed on stage." This is a fairy tale for meditation - and for building bridges of the soul and spirit. The twelve paintings in this book represent the soul experiences of the "Youth" in the fairy tale.They are the fruit of an intense collaboration between Hermann Linde and Rudolf Steiner, who commissioned the work. Steiner visited Linde's studio each day and provided him with detailed indications on how to treat the various motifs. Once Linde had finished the original panels - done mainly in tempera - he had planned to rework them in transparent watercolour glazes, intending to follow Steiner's suggestion of working wholly "from the colour itself." Unfortunately, Hermann Linde was unable to realize his intention; he died suddenly, just a few months after the first Goetheanum was destroyed by fire on New Year's Day 1923. For anyone who is unfamiliar with "The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily", this excellent edition will provide an excellent introduction to Goethe's delightful fairy tale. And for those who know it well, the images and fresh translation will give the story new life in the imagination. It also makes an excellent gift for all ages.

The Rosicrucian Fairy Tale
9. Mai 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Steeped in symbolism both evident and obscure, haunting to the memory and both quaint and noble in its imagery is Goethe's miniature masterpiece of a fairy tale in the German romantic tradition. This is a tale that must be worked with, a superficial reading will find the tale tedious and pointless by the average reader. To those that appreciate the western esoteric tradition there is much food for thought here. In many ways I think of this as Goethe's "Magic Flute"- a Rosicrucian, possibly Masonic inspired fable for personal transformation. Marjorie Spock's (sister of the famous Dr. B. Spock of child rearing fame) work, "The Art of Goethean Conversation" is a set piece to a greater understanding of this fable. Enobled human speech, deeds and thoughts are keys to transforming society.
Though appreciated for many years by Anthroposophists and other students of Rudolf Steiner's thought, this work will never find broad appreciation. But if it serves to introduce one to the genius that was Goethe, then its esoteric intention has been fulfilled.
