Arktos
The Polar Myth in Science,
Symbolism, and Nazi Survival
by Joscelyn Godwin

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 ice-bound 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 kingdoms 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.

Reviews and Comments
Arktos explores the tangled web of myths, scientific notions, and religious beliefs surrounding the poles. Given the fantastic and occult nature of his subject, Professor Godwin has given us a masterpiece of clarity and economy. -- Dr. Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, Author, The Occult Roots of Nazism

Protected by his firm-rooted sanity and scholarship, Joscelyn Godwin enters deep and perilous waters and returns with astonishing news from the underworld. The creatures he encounters are not just imaginary phantoms, but border constantly upon reality and, in times of change, threaten to rise up and overwhelm the minds of a generation. -- John Mitchell, author of many books including The View Over Atlantis

. . . A fascinating work of occult history which manages to be as intriguing as The Morning of the Magicians, but which holds to a much higher standard of scholarship. -- Jay Kinney. Publisher, Gnosis Magazine

ArktosMembers,

I got that image of Crocker Land up on my Arctic site on the Ring Around the Opening page. It is about halfway down.

The guy Dave Johnson gave his permission for me to use it.

Start on the second paragraph above the image andyou'll see how I fit it in just right.

ArktosSpeaking of the origin of the Eskimo, Gardner says:

" That the Eskimo came from the interior of the earth, that is to say, from a location which they could not easily explain to the Norwegians who might have asked them where they originally came from, is shown by the fact that the early Norwegians regarded them as a supernatural people, a species of fairy. When we remember that in the efforts of these Eskimos to tell where they came from they would point to the north and describe a land of perpetual sunshine, it is easy to see that the Norwegians who associated the polar regions with the end of the world, certainly not with a new world, would wonder at the strange origin thus indicated. They would naturally assume that these were supernatural beings who came from some region under the earth - as that was always considered to be the abode of fairies, gnomes and similar creatures."

ArktosDean: Did you get any more out of Dave Johnson on how he came up with those Crocker photos? I tried zooming in on that same area with Earth View and it does look like land in that area, but the shape is hard to tell. From: Ralph

ArktosRalph,

I think that I missed the boat. I thought that the Crocker land pic was an artist's conception, something that he did with Adobe or something. After all, he said to you that Crocker Land wasn't real, right?

You're right that, from the Earth View pics, one can'treally make anything out, although there seems to be a depression andsome kind of ice ridge.

I am going to write him.
