 "A
most intriguing study, particularly for faithful astrology
followers ... a unique and invaluable addition to
metaphysical studies reading lists and reference collections."
- Midwest Book Review
This collection of the astronomical writings by Dr.
Elizabeth Vreede is a fascinating compendium of scientific
and spiritual knowledge. Between September 1927 and
August 1930, Dr. Vreede wrote a monthly "letter,"
available by subscription, about both modern astronomy
and classical astrology in the light of spiritual
science. These letters include clear explanations
of the fundamentals of astronomy and discussions of
the role of astrology in the modern world. They also
include inspiring presentations of a worldview that
sees the stars, planets, and in fact all physical
phenomena as manifestations of spiritual beings and
spiritual activities.
Among the many topics Dr. Vreede considers are the
role of nutation, precession, and other movements
of the Earth in human evolution and life; the comets;
the relations of the heavenly bodies to spiritual
beings; horoscopes; solar and lunar eclipses; and
the deeper meaning of the Christian holidays such
as Easter and Whitsun.
Elizabeth Vreede, Ph.D., a native of the Netherlands,
was a close and trusted student and associate of Rudolf
Steiner. She was appointed by him to be head of the
Mathematical-Astronomical Section of the School of
Spiritual Science. Steiner is reputed to have said
that Dr. Vreede understood his work more deeply than
anyone else.
Anne Riegel teaches at Rudolf Steiner College
in Fair Oaks, California.
Ronald Koetzsch, Ph.D., teaches at Rudolf
Steiner College. He is the author of The Parent's
Guide to Alternative Education (Shambhala, 1997).
