The Black Madonna and the Young Sculptor is a riveting tale that touches on the mythic, while delving into arcane realms of Celtic, Roman, and Christian traditions. On a fundamental level it is a search for the divine feminine and the lingering mysteries around the Black Madonna. It is also, in part, a coming of age story in that it follows the spiritual, artistic, and romantic awakening of young Caradoc. This novel is meant to enchant and guide the reader along an array of rich imaginations that stimulate the mind to traverse through the earth's fertile darkness toward the light filled heights of the spirit.

The so called “Main Lesson,” which starts off each and every day in Waldorf Schools around the world is the most enduring and consistent innovation in Waldorf Education and is its signature difference that distinguishes it from other educational systems. Right from the movement’s inception in 1919, Stuttgart, Germany, this long morning lesson, where the focus is on one subject for a block of time spanning a number of weeks, has formed the foundation on which the rest of the pedagogy stands. What are its enduring qualities? How is it structured? Why is it given such a pivotal position in Waldorf education? How do teachers utilize the time at their disposal? What are its lasting benefits? When and how does the structure change according to the needs of the lower, middle, and high school students? Who determines the structure? How can Rudolf Steiner’s unique pedagogical gift be applied in the most optimal manner? These and many more questions are addressed in The Waldorf Main Lesson. Eric G. Müller examines multiple facets of this mainstay of Waldorf education, hoping that it will encourage and help readers, especially Waldorf teachers, to arrive at their own deeper insights and perspectives on the Main Lesson and its far-reaching significance.“For the love of dynamic, in-person teaching within a creative, vibrant and socially alive setting!”

This is a book on European philosophers from Plato to Martin Buber about their way of understanding the world and what it is to be human. The key to this is their experience of thinking.In presenting the ideas of the philosophers I have made the assumption that in successive epochs there is a change in human consciousness and this will mark the way philosophers conceptualize their world and find its meaning. Rudolf Steiner has given rich insights into this change which is an evolutionary one. This must not be confused with the notion of human progress or with a progression of ideas. The biological evolution in which humanity has its place is generally accepted. The evolution of consciousness is in need of recognition and gives insight into our understanding of Greek and Mediaeval Philosophy. It also is a feature of other elements of cultural life. This book offers for the general reader an introduction to the thoughts and perceptions of some remarkable thinkers. In the modern period there is a tendency for philosophy to divide into two streams, one emphasizing observation of the world, the other the experience of the self.
