Written by independent Steiner scholar, Dr. Adrian Anderson, author of 17 books, including the Rudolf Steiner Handbook.
The theme of this book is of interest to those readers who have a deep respect for the teachings of Rudolf Steiner.
In 1910, Rudolf Steiner told an audience in Oslo, Norway, that a deity known in the Edda as 'Vidar', was an Archangel known from ancient times, and who now provided the spiritual essence of anthroposophical wisdom. He also mentioned that the Druids had made a carving of this deity, and that this statue had been discovered in Germany, although experts in ancient artworks remain baffled as to whom this four-sided sandstone statue actually portrays.
