Glad you liked it! Yes, this part of Goethe's life is mostly unknown. 💝

Did you once mention being schooled in Germany at a Rudolf Steiner school? I read Steiner at the website Southern Cross Review. An excellent place to read smart, elegant prose and poetry.

My late mother piqued my interest in all things not seen. She was into Theosophy and ancillary studies thereof. She encouraged my study of astrology and tarot.

I digress to include a bit more of my story.

Steiner was instrumental in building The Goethe School in Germany. It was a beautiful building before it burned in the 40's.

All this is found in the above mentioned website. Enjoy! Still wishing you all things happy and wonderous 🌎✌️♎🙏💙 from TX ⭐😕🤔⭐

I knew next to nothing about Steiner and/or Waldorf Schools when I was still in Germany (I left for good in 1973). My daughter went to Waldorf Schools through 8th grade when we lived in Berkeley/CA. And that's how I learned abut Rudolf Steiner's work which I studied intensely until I moved to New Mexico in 2000. Steiner brought me to Goethe and has shaped my "worldview" quite a bit 😉.

I visited the Goetheanum in Switzerland, in the earlie 90s I believe, the one which was rebuilt after the first one burned down. I'l check out the website.

I'd love to learn more about your astrology and Tarot studies! And to hear about your relationship with your mother!

Sending you happy wishes as well. I bet you need them in TX.

Are you a Libra?
