This surprising book originated from a reported comment by Rudolf
Steiner to the founder of the first Waldorf School. Emil Molt, in
which Steiner indicated that Emil Molt had a karmic connection with
Emperor Charlemagne, who founded the Holy Roman Empire in the ninth
century. Charlemagne also had the remarkable initiative of founding
schools in his empire in which teaching took place in the local
vernacular -- public schools, in many ways. He did this at a time
when schools existed only in monasteries and all teaching was in
Latin. It was unheard of to teach the common people. Secular
people, even kings and princes, usually could not read or write.
The author spent over twenty-five years researching the biographies
of the principal individuals who implemented Charlemagne's school
movement, including the leader of the school at his court, Alcuin.
He then perceives fascinating parallels between the biographies of
these people and those of the key individuals around Rudolf Steiner
and Emil Molt, who made the first Waldorf School possible. In the
process he evokes in the reader intriguing questions as to the
working of karma in the Waldorf School movement, not only on an
individual basis but also in world culture. In addition, throughout
the book he explores Charlemagne's connection with the Grail
mysteries, especially because of the family relationship of
Charlemagne's wife, Berta, with Titurel, the builder of the Grail
Castle. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the
spiritual/historical background of Waldorf Education.
