The
Arcana of Light on the Path
The Star Wisdom of the Tarot and Light on the Path
John Barnwell
A meditative guidebook that explores the esoteric cosmology shared
by the twenty-two major arcana of the tarot and the twenty-two
stanzas of Mabel Collins’ Light on the Path. The author leads
us from Anthroposophia (“wisdom of being human”) to Theosophia
(“the wisdom of God”). In the process, we see a path revealed
to self-initiation.Dennis Klocek, building on the alchemical tradition
and the Western path of initiation developed by Rudolf Steiner,
shows how the soul’s latent ability can be awakened by conscious
acts of will and rhythmical practices. The practices begin wherever
we are in our everyday lives and take the seeker through the levels
of concentration—the ability to create and hold an inner image;
contemplation—the ability to transform the image and make it dynamic;
and meditation—the ability to reverse the image, or think it backward
into inner silence.

The
Arcana of the Grail Angel
The Spiritual Science of the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail
John Barnwell
“Seldom in modern esoteric Christian scholarship do we find an
author with the breadth of understanding to encompass the Eastern,
Central, and Western Grail traditions. John Barnwell, in The Arcana
of the Grail Angel, synthesizes and illuminates the Grail tradition
in the light of Rudolf Steiner's modern Spiritual Science. Steiner’s
Western esoteric stream of Christianity creates a backdrop of
historical, philosophical, and religious archetypes that encompass
the most comprehensive esoteric Christian cosmology available.
Add to this an extensive panoramic view of the historical, allegorical,
and spiritual nature of the Grail, and together we find this refreshing
work and immediately recognize a ‘must read’ Anthroposophical
classic like the works of Günther Wachsmuth or Sergei O. Prokofieff.”
—Douglas J. Gabriel, from the foreword
This work is a study developed from work of Rudolf Steiner of
the underground streams of esoteric Christianity, which flowed
from the brotherhood of the Holy Grail to the Order of the Knights
Templars and the true Rosicrucian Order.
