The Occult Significance of Blood

Description
Rudolf Steiner is one of the well known authors of the late pre-modern occult world. A student of theosophy who became the head of anthroposophy, his works were profuse, but among all of these, "Occult Significance of Blood" stands out as perhaps the best. Speaking of interbreeding and the spiritual result, the race question (then in vogue in philosophical circles) and the biological concept of blood in general, Steiner's work is highly indicative of its date of origin and symbolizes the confusion of the 1910s.

Rudolf Steiner (b. Rudolf Joseph Lorenz Steiner, 1861-1925) was born in the small village of Kraljevec, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in Croatia), where he grew up. As a young man, he lived in Weimar and Berlin, where he became a well-published scientific, literary, and philosophical scholar, known especially for his work with Goethe's scientific writings. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he began to develop his early philosophical principles into an approach to systematic research into psychological and spiritual phenomena. Formally beginning his spiritual teaching career under the auspices of the Theosophical Society, Steiner came to use the term Anthroposophy (and spiritual science) for his philosophy, spiritual research, and findings. The influence of Steiner's multifaceted genius has led to innovative and holistic approaches in medicine, various therapies, philosophy, religious renewal, Waldorf education, education for special needs, threefold economics, biodynamic agriculture, Goethean science, architecture, and the arts of drama, speech, and eurythmy. In 1924, Rudolf Steiner founded the General Anthroposophical Society, which today has branches throughout the world. He died in Dornach, Switzerland.
