A combined edition of Karl König's The Calendar of the Soul and An Inner Journey Through the Year.

Karl König meditated intensely on the 52 weekly verses of Rudolf Steiner's Calendar of the Soul. He often encouraged his colleagues to find inner strength from the verses, and wrote The Calendar of the Soul, which forms part one of this new combined volume, as a guide for them, drawing out the patterns through the course of the year. There are also some lecture notes and additional essays covering the Winter and Christmas Verses, Forgetting and Losing, and more.

Part two comprises 52 naïve, full-colour artistic sketches that König created in 1940 to accompany each verse during his internment on the Isle of Man. For each weekly verse of the Soul Calendar, there's a picture which describes an experience of the inner situation.

This book will be a helpful and inspiring guide for anyone who wants to fully understand and experience Steiner's Calendar.

Karl König (1902-66) was well-known as a physician, author and lecturer. He began his work at the Institute of Embryology at the University of Vienna. In 1940 he founded the Camphill Movement in Scotland. Based on Rudolf Steiner's insights into human development, the special education schools for children and villages for adults with special needs are now established in many parts of the world.
