The Land with a Thousand Names 🧵

Nearly ALL the ancients shared stories of a Semi-Mythical Land located "Beyond the North WIND". A Sacred Land described as a harmonious PARADISE, sometimes thought to be in a Parallel Dimension, it is the "Forbidden Land of a Thousand Names".

For Hindus it's referred to as Paradesha or Aryavarsha, the land from which the Vedas came from. The Greeks called it Hyperborea. The Celtics knew it as Avalon or "White Man's Land". While the Buddhists call it Shambhala. Christians and Jews refer to it as the Garden of Eden.

The Chinese know it as Hsi Tien while Russians called it Belovodye or Janaidar.

In the Esoteric Doctrines, it has been referred to as Shangri-La or Agartha. It is the Land of the Living Gods, the Land of Wonders. It this land where the Fabled North Pole is supposedly found.

At the center of this Earthly Paradise is the Axis Mundi, also called the Cosmic Axis, World Axis, World Pillar or World Tree.

The Axis Mundi is said to be the connection between Heaven and Earth. In Buddhist Cosmology, the Axis Mundi is a Cosmic Mountian known as Mount Meru.

Taoists call this Cosmic Mountain, Mount Kunlun. The summit of the Cosmic Mountain aligns to the wheeling constellation of Ursa Major, the Seven Immortal Stars that encircle the Pole Star, Polaris. While beneath the Mountian is said to be the entrance to Inner Earth.

In the Mayan, Inca & Navajo Cosmology, there is a Central Pyramid that acts as the World Axis. It is believed the Cosmic Axis is the Center of the Earth, the Greeks called it the Navel of the Earth.

Up until the 1600's, MANY maps depicted Four Island surrounding the North Pole.

In 1595, Gerald Mercator depicted these Four Island surrounding the North Pole in the Artic Region. These islands written about in detail the 14th century book, "The Inventio Fortuna". By the mid 1600's, the Four Islands, the Central Mountain (Axis) & the Whirlpool had vanished.

In 1577, Mercator wrote a letter to John Dee:

"In the midst of the four countries is a Whirl-pool, into which there empty these four indrawing Seas which divide the North. The water rushes round and descends into the Earth just as if one were pouring it through a filter funnel."

Mercator continues, "It is four degrees wide on every side of the Pole, that is to say eight degrees altogether. Except that right under the Pole there lies a Bare (BLACK) Rock in the midst of the Sea. Its circumference is almost 33 French miles, and it is all of magnetic Stone."

This Black Rock was known as the Rupes Nigra, it was thought this point marked the Magnetic North Pole. Mercator called it the "Islands of Magnets".

The very word 'Paradise' is believed to have come from the Sanskrit word 'Paradesa' meaning 'foreign' land, a Name for Agartha.

Shambhalla or Agartha is believed to be the Cradleland of the First Thinking Man. This is the Sacred Land inhabited by the Dragons of Wisdom or Initiates, the Biblical Garden of Eden.

Is this Stephen King's "Dark Tower"?

What do y'all think?
