In conducting his research into the mysteries of antiquity, Frank
Teichmann made a series of discoveries that connect directly to
contemporary events and the tasks of the present-day. Whilst
scholarly in nature and based on extensive documentation of
historical sites, Teichmann’s work is no dry academic study. In
The Origins of the Anthroposophical Society, he offers incisive new
insights into Rudolf Steiner’s seminal esoteric deed – the
refounding of the Anthroposophical Society at the Christmas
Conference of 1923-24 – and considers how it impacts us today.
The Conference itself, says Teichmann, ‘…did not just appear
out of nowhere, nor did it happen merely as the result of a
decision on Rudolf Steiner’s part. It was prepared for long
beforehand.’ In the emergence of the anthroposophical movement,
Teichmann reveals a conscious recapitulation and renewal by Rudolf
Steiner of three types of primordial mystery. He states: ‘… the
whole anthroposophical movement together with the Anthroposophical
Society as it was re-founded at the Christmas Conference of 1923,
was planned and prepared for in primordial times… All
[Steiner’s] deeds, no matter how original they may appear in the
foreground, have a deep esoteric background that contains the
entire spiritual history of humanity.’ This renewal had been
systematically prepared by Rudolf Steiner in three phases: through
the evolution and intensification of thinking via the ‘mysteries
of light’ in Greece; experiencing the spiritual through art via
the ‘mysteries of space’ in Egypt; and, involving the ‘tasks
of civilization’, the ‘northern’ or ‘earth mysteries’.
Teichmann’s groundbreaking book – featuring dozens of images
including his own original photos of British mystery landmarks –
is published here for the first time in English translation.
