Planet Songs – The Eight-fold Path
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'.
Marja Slotemaker's settings of words by Anke Weihs relating to the Eight-fold Path are published in this volume in two forms – one with piano accompaniment and one with lyre accompaniment.*
    page       2 – piano accompaniment.
    page       6 – lyre accompaniment.
    page       9 – the 'Venus' setting with lyre accompaniment as prepared by Colin Tanser for the Arion Association Newsletter in 1992
                         (2 years after Marja's death)

    Page     10 –  'Small Planet songs' with different words related to the days of the week
*Marja's settings inspired Colin Tanser to write his own music using the same words. Colin's settings are also published by Upper Esk Music under the title The Eight-fold Path, Days and Planets.
