Here is a great series of videos on Goethe's fairy tale, the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily - which some rank among the best that were ever imaginatively condensed - that goes through it with quality illustrations. It is fundamentally an 'alchemical' allegory for the marriage between the purified soul and the higher Spirit.
Thanks!
I've watched part 1. I can't say I understand much, I will let it sit I really enjoyed the tale nonetheless, and the beautiful drawings!
We see the shadow of the Roman Empire in Roman Catholicism.
This is not Christianity; it is the shadow of the ancient Roman Empire into which Christianity had to be born. Rudolf Steiner

"They only can acquire the sacred power of self-intuition, who within themselves can interpret and understand the symbol... those only, who feel in their own spirits the same instinct, which impels the chrysalis of the horned fly to leave room in the involucrum for antennae yet to come."
