Doesn't anyone have any comments on the artwork
that I uploaded? esp. Roerich? Not interested, or is it just
"old-hat" to everyone else?

Hi Christine,
I saw these when you first put them up. I
specifically love the Titian painting. I find it interesting
that we find the three Marys there. I am not well versed on this
particular part in the Bible. I will have to see what happens
more intimately.
The Roerich one reminds me of the Indian take
of Shatki. She is sitting on the Lotus petals which is considered
the Great Mother in a sense.
Although I have mixed a few things up in regards
to the Mary research I would like to say once again I hope you
can write a booklet or even start a lecture series pertaining
to your Feminine Divine understanding. I am finding that Magdalene
is being defined by people without an Anthroposophic understanding
and I do so think it is important that Anthroposophy be at the
forefront of this mystery other wise we will have others define
this mystery from a very different stream.
I leave you with a small part of the introduction
from this little book called The Goddess by Dr. Steiner printed
in 2001 for the first time.
"There has been a significant
rediscovery of spirituality in recent years, especially concerning
the feminine side of the traditions, which spoke of the goddess
in her many forms. Myths and symbols from Egypt to Scandanavia,
from India to Ireland have been explored and given real new life.
Such a revitilization is welcome, and enriching- not least because
it can also lead to a re-examination of our assumptions about
the spiritual life more generally, going well beyond the mere
carving out of a 'feminist' niche. for once we begin to look
we find that this aspect of spirituality was emphasized and understood
in many area where we might not immediately think of looking
for it. Thus we are made to challenge our own presuppositions."
