Description
The commentary in this volume by the editor T. H. Meyer sheds light on two striking modifications in the lessons. First is the introduction of Rudolf Steiner’s Michael and Rosicrucian signs. Second is the new function assigned to Ita Wegman following Rudolf Steiner’s return from England at the end of August 1924. Both actions were motivated by, as Steiner called it, a “betrayal” of the mantras that occurred in London.
