The Mystical Interpretation of Christmas Max Heindel

Max Heindel's "Mystical Interpretation of Christmas" is a series of five short lectures which espouse a view of the holiday which deviates both from the traditional Christian and from the secular- a Rosicrucian, Heindel here references earth spirits and otherworldly forces, Shakespeare, fairies, and other interesting topics. The concept of doing good or charitable works and extracting, from those acts, spiritual advance, the same being subjugated in an East-to-West manner to lunar and seasonal cycles, is also spoken of, and the Zodiacal nature of ascension.
