Calendar of the Soul Verses
Moving Through the Year

The Calendar of the Soul verses begin with Easter Week (Week 1) and form the shape of a lemniscate, as shown below. The polar opposite verse for each week is also included. Choose the week you wish to see from the choices below. (Dates refer to the dates between Easter 1999 and Holy Saturday 2000.)

If you start at #1 and draw a line to #6, continue to #12, until you get to #52, you will have drawn a lemniscate or figure 8. Notice the relationship between the polar verses. They always add up to 53. Now imagine that you are standing on #1. You will now walk the figure 8, but with your left arm extended outward. Thus when you arrive at #26, you will have completed the top loop of the lemniscate, and your left arm is always pointing OUTWARDS. But when you cross the middle and go from #27 to #52, your extended left arm is now opointing INWARDS toward the inside of the lower loop of the lemniscate. This is the basic out-breathing and in-breathing of the cosmic year.

(For you mates and sheilas down under, subtract 26 from the current week’s verse and walk the same way we up here would walk the lemniscate. That would make Week Number 26 in the Northern Hemisphere Week Number 52 for you in the Southern Hemisphere (with your polar verse being #1.)

Research and design of these pages for “Calendar of the Soul Verses” was originally done by Jo Ann Schwartz for the Steiner98 web pages. The translation to English is Copyright 1998 by Tom Mellett.

Calendar of the Soul

With new translations and Eurythmy forms

Sun SealFor every week throughout the year R. Steiner gave a special verse that would help us to understand our impulses better both within ourselves and in connection with nature.

You will find here every week the appropriate one of his verses given in a new translation.

Note to this translation:

Rudolf Steiner points out that in the Calendar of the Soul the weekly verses are, of course, based on thoughts but not on the “Thought-element” as is commonly seen in poems. Here of essential importance is the interweaving of the thoughts, the streaming sequence of the thoughts. He emphasizes that the emergence of a thought in a particular place, on a particular line is the most important thing in the construction of the verse. The verse has thus a mantric character.

“It is not all the same (or inconsequential) if a thought appears in the third or fourth line!” (8.29.1920)

The attempt has been made here to be as literal as possible, to follow not only the line sequence of the original but also, language permitting, to preserve the word sequence of the German. This becomes all the more crucial for those attempting to understand and practice Rudolf Steiner’s eurhythmy forms accompanying the individual verses. You will find these forms here accompanying the weekly verse.
