The Calendar of the Soul: An Inner Journey Through the Year

A combined edition of Karl Kӧnig’s The Calendar of the Soul and An Inner Journey Through the Year. Volumes 6 and 7 in the Karl Kӧnig Archive.

Karl Kӧnig meditated intensely on the 52 weekly verses of Rudolf Steiner’s Calendar of the Soul. He often encouraged his colleagues to find inner strength from the verses, and wrote The Calendar of the Soul, which forms part one of this new combined volume, as a guide for them, drawing out the patterns through the course of the year. There are also some lecture notes and additional essays covering the Winter and Christmas Verses, Forgetting and Losing, and more.

Part two comprises 52 naive, full-color artistic sketches that Kӧnig created in 1940 to accompany each verse during his internment on the Isle of Man. For each weekly verse of the Soul Calendar, there’s a picture which describes an experience of the inner situation.

This book will be a helpful and inspiring guide for anyone who wants to fully understand and experience Steiner’s Calendar.

Karl Konig (1902-66) was well-known as a physician, author and lecturer and founder of the Camphill Movement in Scotland. He was a student of Austrian philosopher and founder of anthroposophy Rudolf Steiner.
