Arktos

Arktos is the first book ever written on the archetype of the Poles: celestial and terrestrial, North and South. It is a hair-raising voyage through cosmology, spiritual philosophy, mystical experience, and the beliefs of the lunatic fringe which leads to startling revelations about the secrets of the Poles and the icebound lands. Many occult systems speak of a Golden Age, associated with an ancient race that lived in the Arctic regions. Much embraced by ethnologists and Theosophists, this "Aryan Race" entered the mythology of Nazi Germany with dreadful consequences. In a responsible and scholarly fashion, the author explores the origins of modern neo-Nazi ideology, its "polar" inspiration, and links with other occult myths including the survival of Hitler, German bases in Antarctica, UFOs, the Hollow Earth, and the hidden kindoms of Agartha and Shambhala. Arktos is an important book which touches on the deepest mysteries of human and cosmic destiny - and the eternal problem of good and evil.
