TI - Biblical Symbols in the Works of Rudolf Steiner’s Followers: Initiation/Archangel Michael by Amalia Luna Drexler as an Example of an Anthroposophical Interpretation of the Spiritual Mission of the Slavs
AB - 
	At the beginning of the 20th century, national mythologies inscribed in the Christian tradition were held in high regard within the milieu of Polish and Russian followers of esotericism. The international anthroposophical movement initiated by the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner is a special case. Among his Russian and Polish devotees sprang the common idea of the Slavic spiritual mission in the service of Archangel Michael. The author of this article explores this idea using the example of a sculpture entitled Initiation/Archangel Michael made in 1927 by the Polish artist Amalia Luna Drexler, who belonged to the group of “first generation”anthroposophists.
