The sages of former times, says Rudolf Steiner, literally experienced Nature as a majestic being endowed with spirit, operating everywhere - where rock formations were created, where plants sprang out of the earth, and jewelled stars sparkled in the heavens. Everywhere a being of infinite grandeur was at work, who revealed herself in the wonderful form of a woman weaving nature’s web. Today, after centuries of gross materialism, humanity is just beginning to regain its awareness of this divine Goddess. Steiner takes us further on our road, describing how we may once again find the lost Virgin Sophia, both within ourselves and in the world around us, so that she may be re-united with the cosmic Christ.
