The Mysterious Birthday of Rudolf Steiner

25 February 2019 – “Speaking with the Stars”: Right after dark, bright Capella shines near the zenith. Face west-northwest & look down toward that direction from Capella. The brightest star there is Alpha Persei, Mirfak. Around & upper left of it is t Perseus, a loose swarm of modestly bright stars about the size of your thumbtip at arm’s length.

Look for the dance of Bella Luna, Jupiter, & Antares at dawn, Feb. 26-27, 2019

The waning Moon in the dawn passes over Scorpius &skims by Jupiter . . .

Moon, Saturn, Venus, March 1-3, 2019 . . . and then Bella Luna steps past Saturn & Venus as its crescent thins.

Last-quarter Moon (exact at 5:28 am on the 26th CST). The Moon rises around midnight. By early dawn spot Jupiter to the Moon’s lower left & fainter Antares below.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY

Image result for Saint Walpurga

777 – Deathday of Saint Walpurga The earliest representation of Walpurga, in the early 11th-century Hitda Codex, made in Cologne, depicts her holding stylized stalks of grain. The grain attribute represents the older pagan concept of the Grain Mother. Peasant farmers fashioned her replica in a corn dolly at harvest time & told tales to explain Saint Walpurga’s presence in the grain sheaf. St. Richard, when starting with his two sons on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, entrusted Walburga, then 11 years old, to the abbess of Wimborne. Walpurga was educated by the nuns of Wimborne Abbey, Dorset, where she spent 26 years as a member of the community. She then travelled with her brothers, Willibald & Winebald, to Francia to assist Saint Boniface, her mother’s brother, in evangelizing among the still-pagan Germans. Because of her rigorous training, she was able to write her brother Winibald’s vita & an account in Latin of his travels in Palestine. As a result, she is often called the first female author of both England & Germany. Walpurga became a nun in the double monastery of Heidenheim am Hahnenkamm, which was founded by her other brother, Willibald, who appointed her as his successor. Following his death in 751, she became the abbess

1848 – Provisional government in revolutionary France, by Louis Blanc’s motion, guarantees workers’ rights

1856 – A Peace conference opens in Paris after the Crimean War

1861 – Birthday of Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner.

Some say the Midwife gave him up for dead when he was born, as he was so small & sickly; so his parents arranged for a quick baptism which occurred on February 27th. He hung on against all odds, & the Church record became the document for his ‘Official’ Birthday. Steiner himself did not try to set the record straight, & so to this day there is a dispute as to when his actual natal return is – But the Stars Know!

~May the rhythm of my heart stir music
That dances darkness into the light…
May my heart witness what my hands create
The words I utter, the worlds I think…
May my flesh be a sail propelled by the breath of truth
As I ride in calm waters toward destiny…
