H. Corbin on the 'Ariano-Sufic' Hyperborean Gnosis


On a more serious note and for those who still haven't read them
(twice), see, in a traditional Aryan context, 'Meditations from the
Peaks' (more specifically, 'The Mountain and Spirituality' and 'Some
Remarks Concerning the Divinity of the Mountains', Part One) and
'Revolt Against The Modern World', Chapters 24-26, not to mention
'Arktos : The Polar Myth in Science, Symbolism, and Nazi Survival' by
J. Godwin.

also worth reading, apart from the trivial conclusion.
