'Ere the Century Closes
In this study, Tradowsky takes as his starting point Rudolf Steiner's many pointers to the reappearance of Christ in the etheric world as the most significant event of the twentieth century; indeed, Steiner forcefully declared our century to be a watershed for the future evolution of humanity and the earth. From this it becomes apparent that, in the last ten years of this century, humanity confronts a severe testing by the powers of evil ranged against it. Seen in this light, deeply worrying questions arise: Do we recognize in sober clarity the apocalyptic nature of events today? Is there a sufficient number of people ready and able to work, in freedom, with spiritual truths? Which inner forces and strengths will be needed to pass the test? To the discerning reader, this concise account of historic influences suggests not answers, but the contextual landscape in which answers may be sought by all who begin to recognize the significance of the questions now facing humanity.
The Future is Now
Rudolf Steiner spoke at various times of a period that encompasses the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the new millennium. He described it as a time of great spiritual struggle in which forces of destruction would wage war on benevolent forces, and how the future of culture and civilization would depend on the outcome. In his many statements on this matter, Steiner warned, in particular, members of the Anthroposophical Society and movement - that they would be called on to develop vital spiritual capacities that are becoming increasingly critical for human progress. In these eighteen essays, contributors offer their thoughts on the question of where anthroposophy in its ear...
The Stigmata
"Thus, from time to time, such events [the stigmatization] occur that strike one as miraculous, and that can be understood only through knowledge of the world of spirit. Because they seem so hard to explain, they preoccupy everyone and remind people again of the reality of the spirit." -- Ita Wegman Stigmata--the spontaneous appearance of bodily marks in locations corresponding to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus Christ--have long been a controversial phenomenon. Well-known stigmatics such as Francis of Assisi, Anne Catherine Emmerich, and Therese Neumann have been associated mostly with the Catholic Church. Judith von Halle, a member of the Anthroposophical Society, received the stigmata in 2004 during Passiontide (the last two weeks of Lent). She has published a dozen notable volumes of spiritual-scientific research. In this book, based on decades of anthroposophic study, Peter Tradowsky presents a comprehensive, though aphoristic, account of the stigmata. He focuses in particular on Judith von Halle, responding to Sergei O. Prokofieff's publication, The Mystery of the Resurrection in the Light of Anthroposophy, which approaches stigmatization from a particular perspective.
Kaspar Hauser
In 1828 a teenage boy was discovered on the streets of Nuremberg. Barely able to walk, he clutched a letter in his hand. This youth, Kaspar Hauser, who couldn't properly speak or write, was soon to become an international phenomenon known as "the Child of Europe." The story of Kaspar Hauser presents many mysteries. According to his account, the young boy spent most of his life confined in a darkened space. Unable to stand up, and with no knowledge of his captors, he was fed a diet of bread and water. Eventually released from this macabre prison, he survived an assassination attempt only to be stabbed to death in 1833. Why was a child kept in such squalid circumstances? Who were his parents? Who was responsible for such a cruel attack on childhood? Who murdered him? In this seminal work Peter Tradowsky addresses these questions through the insights of Anthroposophy. His analysis reveals some of the secrets of Kaspar Hauser's short life, and the occult significance of his incarnation, spiritual nature and individuality.
And If He Has Not Been Raised...
Collects seven lectures given by Judith von Halle and Peter Tradowsky before members of the Anthroposophical Society in Berlin, between Michaelmas 2004 and Whitsun 2005. The subject of the first to lecture was the stigmatization of Judith von Halle, and in the remaining five lectures, the events of the life of Christ, experiences as a consequence of the stigmatization are described and explored by means of spiritual-scientific knowledge.--Foreword.
Christ and Antichrist
Rudolf Steiner taught that the Christ would reappear in the twentieth century in the etheric, or life, realm of the Earth. He also made to other astonishing predictions in relation to that event --first, that before humankind could comprehend such a reappearance, we "must have passed through the encounter with the Beast, which will appear in 1933"; second, that around the end of the century Sorath --the Sun Demon --would again arise to oppose individual vision of the etheric Christ. Beginning with these statements, Tradowsky tries to illuminate the problem of evil in relation to the Christ. He describes Sorath and his activities, asserting that knowledge and insight regarding this elusive and terrible being helps individuals to come to terms with him. He also explains the role of the Apocalyptic Beast in relation to Ahriman and his incarnation on Earth. This book is intended for those with a close concern for Anthroposophy, and the author's intention is to provide a background to the events of our own time, thus helping us to understand our tasks as they relate to the Christ, evil, and the new millennium.

The Knights Templar
The beginning of the Templar Order is shrouded in mystery. Little is known about its foundation, inner workings, or its rapid growth. Such a lack of knowledge can lead to all sorts of speculation and, at times, bizarre theories. This book--the result of a conference on the theme at Emerson College in England--offers new, well-grounded perspectives that utilize both esoteric and exoteric sources. From varying perspectives, the contributors tackle key questions relating to the formation of the Templar Order, as well as its goals and intentions. The authors explore the spiritual and historical background of the Knights Templar, as well as the Order's significance today and its continuing impulse for the future. With its broad scope, this stimulating anthology encourages independent, open-minded enquiry and research. The Knights Templar features contributions from Peter Tradowsky, Gil McHattie, Horst Biehl, Margaret Jonas, Rolf Speckner, Sylvia Francke, Simon Cade-Williams, Jaap van der Haar, Alfred Kon, David Lenker, Peter Snow, Christine Gruwez, Frans Lutters, Walter Johannes Stein, and Siegfried Rudel.
The Wild Child
Kept in a dungeon for his entire childhood, Kaspar Hauser appeared in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1828 at age sixteen, barely able to walk or talk. When he was killed in 1833, his true identity and the motives for his unsolved murder became the subjects of intense speculation. This provocative essay sheds new light on this mystery and delves into fundamental questions about the long-term effects of child abuse.
Michael and the Two-horned Beast
In our materialistic and skeptical age, it can be difficult to take seriously the existence of real spiritual beings. Nevertheless, countless individuals -- from the historic founders of religions to those who have been through near-death experiences -- have spoken of beings of Light, such as Angels and Archangels, and 'evil' beings, spirits of darkness.The author, basing his work on Rudolf Steiner's teachings, presents an epic picture of the forces of 'good' and 'evil' -- a battle of cosmic dimensions in which we are all intimately involved. He clarifies the pivotal role of the Archangel Michael, the 'Guardian of Cosmic Intelligence, ' who fights to hold the balance between the key powers of evil in our time -- Lucifer and Ahriman -- and describes other members of the evil hierarchies. He also discusses the biblical Apocalypse of St. John, the Mexican Mysteries, and much else.This book is an essential guide to meeting the challenge of evil at the new millennium.
