Born in 1900 in Russia, Valentin Tomberg was for many years an enthusiastic student of Anthroposophy. In 1945, however, he converted to Roman Catholicism and completely turned his back on the former phase of his life. By the time of his death in 1973 he had written two major works—Meditations on the Tarot and Covenant of the Heart—in which he presented much esoteric knowledge, though under the spiritual authority of the Catholic Church.
What is the mystery behind Tomberg's life? Prokofieff provides his views in this forcefully argued and uncompromising book.
 Sergei O. Prokofieff was born in Moscow in 1954, where he studied fine arts and painting at the Moscow School of Art. At an early age he came across the work of Rudolf Steiner and soon realized that his life was to be dedicated to the Christian path of esoteric knowledge. He wrote his first book, Rudolf Steiner and the Founding of the New Mysteries, while living in Soviet Russia, and it was published in English in 1994. After the fall of Communism, he became a cofounder of the Anthroposophical Society in Russia. At Easter 2001, he became a member of the Executive Council of the General Anthroposophical Society at the Goetheanum.
