Richard Wagner, Rudolf Steiner & Allegories Of The Ring

Like many great artists throughout the millennia, Richard Wagner wrote his operas as allegories which can be represented in ways that range from the mundane to the esoteric. When Wagner's cryptic esoteric messages are deciphered they tell a story about the evolution of human freedom and consciousness that would be told two generations later in a different format, by the physicist/philosopher Rudolf Steiner. The allegories of The Ring bear a message meant for today.
