Here is a great series of videos on Goethe's fairy tale, the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily - which some rank among the best that were ever imaginatively condensed - that goes through it with quality illustrations. It is fundamentally an 'alchemical' allegory for the marriage between the purified soul and the higher Spirit.
Thanks!
I've watched part 1. I can't say I understand much, I will let it sit I really enjoyed the tale nonetheless, and the beautiful drawings!
"If anthroposophy is to fulfil its purpose, its prime task must be to rouse people and make them really wake up.
Merely knowing what's going on in the physical world, and knowing the laws that human minds are able to perceive as operative in this world, is no more than being asleep, in a higher sense."

"They only can acquire the sacred power of self-intuition, who within themselves can interpret and understand the symbol... those only, who feel in their own spirits the same instinct, which impels the chrysalis of the horned fly to leave room in the involucrum for antennae yet to come."
