This book introduces the thought of Hadewijch, one of the most famous Flemish Mystics. Dutch text. Hadewijch (ca. 1210-1260) is een figuur die, ook internationaal, blijft boeien. Als auteur is zij bijzonder creatief en artistiek. Als begijn behoort Hadewijch tot een revolutionaire vrouwenbeweging, gevormd door "godvruchtige vrouwen" die, zelfbewust, niet in het klooster en evenmin in het huwelijk willen treden. Geestelijk en materieel zelfstandig komen deze eerste begijnen - die dus nog niet de "begijntjes" van de latere begijnhoven zijn - in conflict met de maatschappelijke orde. Zo hebben zij de reactie te verduren van clerici, wereldlijke en kerkelijke gezagsdragers en officiele religieuzen. Als mystica stelt Hadewijch, naast het heerlijke aspect van de liefdesgemeenschap, ook de pijnlijke kant ervan in het licht: met de minnegenieting gaat volgens haar een steeds heviger verlangen gepaard; in de eenheid wordt het anders-zijn van de Geliefde des te sterker. De vereniging met God is dan ook geen geestverheffing die de mens onttrekt aan het mens-zijn. Het echte een-zijn bestaat, integendeel, in het samenspel van "rusten" in God en "werken in deze wereld", van "God met God zijn" en "mens met de Mens" (Jezus). "Als mens zult ge leven!" - dat is de keiharde kern van Hadewijchs leven en leer

Belonging to the early thirteenth century, Hadewijch brings us a spiritual message of extraordinary power. She was endowed in no less degree than St. Teresa of Avila with the gifts of visionary mysticism and literary genius. She felt herself strongly a woman, as can be seen from her choosing to join the women's movement of her day, that of the Beguines, who dedicated themselves to a life of true spirituality without taking the veil. Hadewijch understood that she was called to communicate to others the profound knowledge of the things of God granted to her in her mystical life. She directed her apostolate to some younger Beguines, and nearly all her writings, both prose and poetry, were intended for them. She mentions other spiritual friends, some in distant countries. Her experiences and her message, however , however, remained hidden; she attained to no celebrity among her contemporaries. The way of immediate fame was for other women mystics. St. Hildegard (1098-1179), the visionary and writer, enjoyed high reputation Clairvaux, and crowned heads. Hadewijch's contemporary, St. Lutgard (1183-1246), was widely known for her visions of the Sacred Heart, which won her the friendship of persons like the Master General of the Dominican Order and Duchess Marie of Brabant (daughter of King Louis VIII of France), and after her death made her tomb a place of pilgrimage. Where Hadewijch was buried, however, no one knows and her writings, after passing through the hands of John of Ruusbroec and his circle, were lost to sight until the nineteenth century. Since the rediscovery of Hadewijch, her importance has been progressively appreciated, and the hidden dimension of her life is now open so that we may share it according to the particular needs of our own day.

The great German mystic Meister Eckhart remains one of the most fascinating figures in Western thought.
