The Mysteries of Ephesos

Rudolf Steiner often spoke of "The Mysteries". Have you ever wondered what took place in these various Centres? In the Ephesian Mysteries acolytes experienced their Higher-self as a potential nurtured by Artemis-Diana. But what these acolytes underwent in the great temple is generally unknown to scholars. However there are meditative verses and private notebook entries about this goddess and what the acolytes were to achieve, from Rudolf Steiner. These are newly translated for this book and explored. Key sections from his two lectures on Ephesos with its famous statue are included, together with a helpful commentary. The spiritual meaning of Artemis-Diana, Dionysos, Mysa and Iackhos, and other deities is explored, enhanced by the author's knowledge of ancient Greek.
