 Prokofieff
draws on the whole extent of Rudolf Steiner's work
and combines it with his own original spiritual research
to form an intricate picture of the cosmic forces
at play between Christmas and Epiphany. We are led
on a tour through the circle of the zodiac and spiritual
hierarchies, and shown how they form a path from Jesus
to Christ. The author further explains that the Starry
Script is a key to anthroposophical Christology, and
shows how it relates to the conception of the First
Goetheanum. Prokofieff guides us imaginatively through
the interior of Steiner's architectural masterpiece
(destroyed by fire at the end of 1922), whose structure
and decorations are seen to constitute a coherent
esoteric map. Our task now, he suggests, is to rebuild
the First Goetheanum within ourselves and, through
a new form of self-development, work toward a truly
modern path of initiation.
Supplementary essays focus on the cosmic aspects
of Sophia as well as the being of Michael. Prokofieff's
seminal study offers a rich source of inspiration
for those wishing to penetrate the mysteries of the
Twelve Holy Nights and their relation to spiritual
beings.
Sergei O. Prokofieff was born in Moscow in
1954, where he studied fine arts and painting at the
Moscow School of Art. At an early age he came across
the work of Rudolf Steiner and soon realized that
his life was to be dedicated to the Christian path
of esoteric knowledge. He wrote his first book, Rudolf
Steiner and the Founding of the New Mysteries while
living in Soviet Russia, and it was published in Germany
in 1982. After the fall of Communism, he became a
co-founder of the Anthroposophical Society in Russia.
He currently works for the Society in Russia and as
a writer and lecturer worldwide.
