Colors of the Soul (Dennis Klocek, 2017, Lindisfarne Books) Using many examples from natural- and spiritual-scientific research into color and the rise of various color theories through history, Klocek zeros in on the real essence of colors and how they relate to us as human beings in our physical body and soul. From Newton to Rudolf Steiner, as well as several centuries of artistic development of color and pigments, we learn to perceive in new ways that can both heal and help us work and play with color in new ways. The author also connects what we learn about color to healing with artistic therapies, homeopathy, and flower essences.

The Confirmation of Kaspar Hauser (Peter Selg, 2024, Steiner Books) During the 2018 Kaspar Hauser Festival in Ansbach, Germany, Peter Selg assumed the task of understanding the individuals in Kaspar Hauser’s life and comprehending their significance for his destiny. He begins by unfolding the sociopolitical and philosophical milieu during Hauser’s life, starting with Friedrich Hölderlin and other significant luminaries of the time. Selg compares the biographies of Kaspar Hauser and Rudolf Steiner, who stated, “If Kaspar Hauser had not lived and died as he did, the contact between the earth and the spiritual world would have been completely broken.”

Prokofieff, 2023, Temple Lodge Publishing) Intended as the second volume in a trilogy on Novalis, Schiller, and Goethe, Friedrich Schiller and the Future of Freedom is much more than a conventional biography. Prokofieff shines new light on Schiller’s character and destiny, helping to establish his position as a crucial antecedent to Rudolf Steiner in the spiritual history of humanity.

In Rudolf Steiner’s biography, 1921 was a year of many trials. These lectures stand between the earth-shattering years of the First World War and the tragic destruction of the First Goetheanum. Indeed, precisely one year after the final lecture published in this volume, the Goetheanum—the house of the Word to which Steiner devoted all his forces—burned to the ground through an act of arson.

The One, Child of the Universe (Anna Lups) Dr. Anna Lups begins with a practical study of alchemical principles through her examination of a young child’s colorful drawings.

Prokofieff, 2016, Temple Lodge Publishing) Sergei Prokofieff shows how, from the earliest times, the future “conscience of humanity” flowed from hidden mystery centers in Hibernia into the Eastern Slavic peoples. Consequently, qualities of “compassion, patience, and willingness for sacrifice” developed in their souls, creating a truly Christian “Grail mood.” Despite incalculable suffering—from persecutions of the Mongol hordes to the Bolshevik experiment of the 20th century—this quality has become an unconquerable force.
