The Eight-fold Path, Days and Planets
The Eight-fold Path of spiritual development is described in Rudolf Steiner's Knowledge of the Higher Worlds. This path, the days of the week and the seven planets (with their scales), are all related to each other. This can be summarised as follows:-
        Monday              Moon             the Right Word
        Tuesday              Mars              the Right Deed
        Wednesday        Mercury         the Right Vocation
        Thursday             Jupiter           the Right Striving
​        Friday                  Venus            the Right Memory

        Saturday             Saturn           the Right Images
        Sunday                Sun               the Right Decision
    The eighth quality is Right Contemplation and is applied to all the above, with the aim of creating the 'New Sun'.
In 1985 Colin Tanser encountered Marja Slotemaker's settings of words by Anke Weihs relating to the Eight-fold Path.* This inspired him to write his own music using the same words, with piano accompaniment. Then in 1994 he composed a second set with lyre accompaniment. This volume contains both sets. It also has an incomplete set of reflections on the Planetary Scales and their relationship with the days of the week and the eight-fold path. These reflections include songs from 'The Eight-fold Path'.
*These settings are also published by Upper Esk Music.
