Original Theosophy, Guenon and Evola all share the belief in the
Hyperborean, polar origins of mankind and a subsequent solidification
and devolution. The main theses: Hyperborea and Thule are the golden-
age centers of civilization and spirituality; and Humankind does not
rise from the ape, but progressively physicalizes into the apelike
condition. A few questions for detectives and scholars:
1: Does Guenon understand Hyperborea in an anthropological
sense, as does Evola, where Northern spirituality is linked to Nordic
Indo-European blood as its imperfect vehicle? (A related inquiry is
Guenon's stance on racial issues as a whole).
2: What is the common root for these teachings? Did Guenon
derive his ideas on Hyperborea and devolution from Blavatsky, and then
Evola from Guenon, or did all three arrive at their understanding by a
a common source, or different but analogous sources? What possible
sources? Mysterious Hindu contacts?
Let us investigate.
