May that Spirit, who for the healing of the earth and for her progress, and
for the freedom and salvation of humankind, passed through the Mystery of Golgotha,
may that Spirit whom we seek, to whom we would draw near, be at our side.
Rudolf Steiner, Cosmic and Human Metamorphosis (Complete Works, volume 175: Seven lectures, lecture “Christ is Our Brother” held on 6 February 1917)
In the words of Goethe from his great work Faust:
Virgin, Mother, Queen,
Keep us, Goddess, in thy grace.
All things corr13uptible are but a parable,
Earth’s insufficiency here finds fulfillment.
Here the ineffable wins life through love,
The Eternal Feminine leads us above.
​
And in the words of Vladimir Solovyov:
Let it be known:
today the Eternal Feminine
in an incorruptible body
is descending to Earth.
In the unfading light of the new Goddess
Heaven will become one with the depths.
Madonna of the Magnificat - Sandro Botticelli
