Mongolia | Agharti | Saint-Yves d’Alveidre

Earlier I wrote about the Subterranean Kingdom of Agharti as first described by French occultist Joseph-Alexandre Joseph-Alexandre Saint-Yves d’Alveidre in his 1886 book Mission de l’Inde en Europe (Mission of India in Europe) and elaborated on in Ferdinand Ossendowski’s Beasts, Men and Gods. Amazingly an English language translation of this book has now been published under the title The Kingdom of Agharttha.

The Introduction to the book is by historian of European occultism Joselyn Godwin, author of Aktos: The Polar Myth in Science, Symbolism, and Nazi Survival.


Agharti has been conflated with Shambhala by many commentators. I have will more on the Agharti Mythologem soon.
