Untitled[edit]

Good Lord! This is so irresponsible - so inaccurate. Examples - Tomberg did not go Majorca in 1960. He resided in England till 1973, dying in Majorca on a holiday. He was never secretary General of the Anthroposophical Society, but did briefly lead the local Estonian Anthroposophical Society.

I don't believe his father made it out of Russia (?) and the text contains numerous other dubious statements.

If the rest of this encyclopedia is this inaccurate, you will misleading thousands of people. You have a responsibility.

Anyone here may edit a page. If you have better information, by all means feel free to make any corrections you think ought to be made. -- Smerdis of Tlön 15:01, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

: I did that, because it is right that Tomberg lived in Reading not in Majorca, whre he died on a holiday. Frommbold 21:33, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Please cite references for the following statement: "A Dutch or German rough translation of the manuscript to Méditations sûr les 22 arcanes majeurs du Tarot was circulated in the Netherlands against the author's intentions a year before his death."

I am interested in details about this early manuscript. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.208.108.134 (talk) 09:56, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The early draft for the Med. on the Tarot was released in Amsterdam 1972 by the only remaining anthro friend of VT, the Polish count Stefan Lubienski, who worked openly with a circle of young people with esoteric matters. VT was informed of this later on but didn't seem to make a fuss about it. This was told to me personally by VTs literary heir Dr. Jur. Prof. Martin Kriele in Köln, back in 1989 or so. / Alexander Kieding, Sweden —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.233.152.90 (talk) 19:22, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
