“In the period round about the change of teeth the child passes over into the age of imagination and fantasy. It is not the intellect but fantasy which fills his life at this age. You as teachers must also be able to develop this life of fantasy, for those who bear a true knowledge of the human being in their souls are able to do this.”
~ Rudolf Steiner, August 13, 1924

“In the evolution of the world, the Norse Gods are unique in their individualized characteristics and dearth of wisdom. The class teacher recognizes that Rudolf Steiner’s indications for Grade 4 are brilliant when she sees in front of her reflections of Thor, Odin and Freya.”
