Guenon and Hyperborea   Topic List   < Prev Topic  |  Next Topic >

Re: Guenon and Hyperborea

Gentlemen,

I was only looking at this provocative issue last night regarding
the hyperborean mythos.
Guenon wrote a very good essay on the matter in "Symbols of the
Sacred Science," of which the essay in question is "The wild boar
and the bear." The leitmotifs that run through this essay are
incredible and pretty much touch on all Indo-European traditions as
Artos. Nevertheless, however there is a great boon for those who are
taken by the Egyptian tradition, for it is the Typhon (a Hellenic
name for Seth) as the Great Bear and its relations with Draco that
through up lots of odd questions. Not only does Jesus look always to
the North on the Crucifix, what is the west arm but it is Seth that
is the ruler of the South, this makes sense as there is no polar
star visible in the Southern hemisphere, it is only chaos. Here the
odd indication is to some archaic residue of the polar north-south
transit. Thuban in Draco was the pole star around 4000BC before the
shift to its relative the Little Bear and the consequent west-east
transit of the solar tradition.
Final titbit for those who read French there is great book on the
Hyperborean-Thule tradition by Jean Mabire "Thulé: Le soliel
retrouvé."

Later.

As for Guénon's hypersensitiveness nothing could have been more rectified, than a good measure of the father's slipper, but apparently the father suffered the...

This matter has already been partly tackled on this list, as far as Evola is concerned. As early as 1928, in 'Critica del teosofismo', the third chapter...
