There, east and west of the Ural and Volga region, a marriage is sought between magism and Bolshevism. What is taking place there appears so incomprehensible to humanity because it is taking place in a strange mythical form, because the Luciferic-spiritual of Bolshevism is combining with the completely decadent forms of shamanism that are approaching the Urals and Volga and crossing this area. From west to east, from east to west, events interact in this way, which are precisely the events of the paradise of satyrs and fauns. And what plays into it from the spiritual into the human world is the result of this lustful interaction of the satyrs and fauns who have migrated here from ancient times and of what the Western spirits, who only develop the intellectual, the things belonging to the head, have formed in themselves, and who then want to connect with the satyrs and fauns who have come over from Asia.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VII.

Da, östlich und westlich vom Gebiete des Ural und der Wolga, wird eine Ehe angestrebt zwischen Magismus und Bolschewismus. Was sich da abspielt, das erscheint der Menschheit so unbegreiflich, weil es sich in einer merkwürdigen Mythosform abspielt, weil sich das Luziferisch-Geistige des Bolschewikentums verbindet mit den ganz dekadent gewordenen Formen des Schamanentums, die herankommen nach dem Ural und der Wolga und dieses Gebiet überschreiten. Von Westen nach Osten, von Osten nach Westen spielen da in dieser Weise Ereignisse ineinander, die eben die Ereignisse des Paradieses der Satyrn und Faune sind. Und was da hineinspielt aus dem Geistigen in die Menschenwelt, das ist das Ergebnis dieses lüsternen Zusammenwirkens der aus der alten Zeit hier eingewanderten Satyrn und Faune und desjenigen, was gewissermaßen die nur das Kopfliche, das dem Kopfe Angehörige entwickelnden Westgeister in sich hervorgebildet haben, die dann mit den aus Asien herübergekommenen Satyrn und Faunen sich verbinden wollen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":222,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/225/1923-07-15_02/p035"}],"english":["GA 225/1923-07-15_02/p035"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":222,"en_words":241,"ratio":1.09,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4893,"original_word_count":4722,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Cultural Phenomena — Three Perspectives of Anthroposophy","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA225/English/SOL2024/19230715p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
