Giorgio Tarditi Spagnoli

Great mysteries are hidden under the distracted gaze of everyday life. This is how, in Chiavari, in the province of Genoa, in one of its characteristic "carruggi" the portico abruptly interrupts to give space to a singular facade of an ancient palace. Indiscreet in its hidden preciousness, it goes completely unnoticed by those who do not look thirsty for knowledge. But if you look at its representations with eyes capable of seeing, you can read in them a fascinating story that is well connected to the name by which this particular place is called: the "Loggia dei Rosa+Croce".

Abbiamo appena ultimato la seconda edizione del Calendario dell'Anima, edito dalla nostra Edizioni Pleroma. Si tratta della traduzione realizzata da Giorgio Tarditi Spagnoli che, oltre a presentare le 52 settimana con i relativi mantra, presenta le Festività nel corso dell'anno a cui ogni discepolo deve prestare attenzione per sincronizzarsi con il ritmo annuale. 

La Luce sul Sentiero è uno dei gioielli dell’esoterismo teosofico. Questa corrente spirituale occidentale mira a intessere un rapporto di continuità tra gli Antichi Misteri, – la luce dell’Illuminazione che promana dall’Oriente –, e una forma adatta ai popoli occidentali, verso cui l’opera della Società Teosofica era principalmente rivolta. Il sentiero che viene illuminato è quello che conduce l’uomo verso l’auto-conoscenza.

Si tratta di un Diario interamente dedicato al lavoro interiore del Discepolo in cammino sulla via dell'Antroposofia, la Scienza dello Spirito di Rudolf Steiner. E' un'agenda, dal punto di vista formale, ma in sostanza è molto di più, poichè comprende una serie di indicazioni e di "compiti" che quotidianamente potranno incentivare il lavoro del Discepolo a muovere, imprimere, nella volontà di ogni uomo alla ricerca di se stesso.

Here is presented the history of Mystica Aeterna, the Esoteric Temple Service founded in 1906 by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925). Also known as the Misraim Service and Cognitive Cult. During its development from 1906 to 1914, Mystica Aeterna came into contact with other important esoteric movements and orders, among which the Golden Dawn stands out, particularly in its later incarnation as Stella Matutina, of which Rudolf Steiner himself was recognized as the "Secret Chief".

For the first time translated into Italian, the Rituals of Mystica Aeterna, the Esoteric Temple Service, also known as the Service of Misraim and Cognitive Worship, was founded in 1906 by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), initiator of the Science of the Spirit or Anthroposophy. The book contains the first Italian translation of the Rituals of the Service of Misraim, in addition to some of the attached texts of Stella Matutina, as well as the history and Rosicrucian esotericism of Mystica Aeterna and the anthroposophical commentary on all the ritual texts included.

The Esoteric Temple Service founded in 1906 by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), initiator of the Science of the Spirit or Anthroposophy, is also known as the Misraim Service and Cognitive Worship. In the context of Mystica Aeterna, Steiner renews the Ancient Mysteries in the New Mysteries, through the union of the solar current of Cain and the lunar current of Abel in Christ, as the center of cosmic evolution and in Christian Rosenkreutz as its representative. Mystica Aeterna is therefore the fruit of the encounter between the Anthroposophical and Rosicrucian spiritual streams.

In the Thirteen Holy Nights, the entire history of mankind is recapitulated: from the Lemuric Era on Christmas Eve, the Ancient Feast of Adam and Eve; to Christmas, the birth of the soul of the second Adam of the Jesus of Luke's Gospel; to the Epiphany with the arrival of the Three Kings visiting the Jesus of Matthew's Gospel and finally the Christmas of Christ, the descent of the Solar Spirit within Jesus of Nazareth to Baptism in the Jordan. In each of these Holy Nights, the forces of the Zodiac with which the disciple of the esoteric way can work inwardly descend to Earth.

This book was written to help those who, studying these two great currents of Western Mysteries, have asked themselves the question: what is the relationship between Kabbalah and Anthroposophy? The book is a first answer to this question and clearly does not claim to exhaust the question. We can consider this first initiative as a Kabbalah-Antroposophy dictionary so that those who are going to study both these currents can translate the terms of the one into those of the other and vice versa for a greater mutual understanding between esotericists.

From the encounter between the understanding of the Nature of Anthroposophy and Naturopathy comes Anthroposophical Naturopathy or Naturosophie. The body of man is not a machine, it is a miniature Cosmos. The vital forces that pervade our body are the expression of the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms that make up Nature so that every altered condition in the body is an expression of natural need: so "naturopathy" means "feeling yourself one with Nature".

We are spirits who make a human experience. Only the spirit finds the meaning of things, of people, the meaning of his own life on Earth. If you want to know yourself, seek in the world; if you want to know the world, seek in yourself. Only when body, soul and spirit are in perfect harmony with Nature and the Cosmos, does man find his Ego. The Science of the Spirit helps us to understand our potential, to make conscious choices, to guide us on the path of spiritual evolution.
