Steiner said that, "If one traces the development of the earth [back],... one comes upon increasingly refined material conditions of our planet. The substances which later became solid were previously in a fluid, still earlier, in a vaporous and steam-like, and in an even more remote past, in the most refined (etheric) condition. The decreasing temperature caused the hardening of substances.... ... the most refined etheric condition of the substances of our earthly dwelling place. Man first entered upon the earth in this epoch of its development. Before that, he belonged to other worlds... a so-called astral or soul world. The beings of this world did not lead an external, (physical) bodily existence. Neither did man. He had already developed the image consciousness .... had feelings and desires. But all this was enclosed in a soul body. Only to the clairvoyant eye would such a man have been perceptible."
THE LODGE WARS
Questions I receive about occult groups and full spectrum in-fighting are repeatedly asked by those with a genuine interest in this topic. Lodge Wars are probably the most frequent with regard to the secret societies abounding throughout Europe during the Twentieth Century, although the influences spilled out into America and other countries, during War Time especially.

The Confessions of Aleister Crowley abound with critique on Abramelin and lodge mentality, during the early twentieth century, as associated with the Psychic Revolution in Europe.
Although I am not a member of The Hermetic Order of The Golden Dawn or other groups cited by Crowley in this notation, I am honestly concerned about his observations, primarily because most oversights mentioned have failed to correct themselves and remain today.
I leave the links hot should you wish to read further into Crowley's journal. Hopefully, this page does not offend anyone from any sincere group in the serious pursuit of truth and the integrity of the work. Click album for THE MOUNTAIN pix. If there are objections to this post please contact me.
K2 is also known as 'Chogo Ri', derived from two Balti words, chhogo ("big") and ri ("mountain")
Nicholas Roerich.Tibet - White and Heavenly
In the summer of 1902, British climbers Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), and Oscar Eckenstein (1859-1921) led the first serious attempt to scale Chogo Ri (known in the west as K2), located in Pakistan. They planned their ascent on the Northeast Ridge. K2 has never been climbed in winter.
The Expedition consisted of Crowley, Eckenstein, Guy Knowles, H. Pfannl, V. Wesseley, and Dr Jules Jacot-Guillarmod. During this trip a world record was established for hardships on the Baltoro Glacier, sixty-eight straight days of glacial life. Upon arrival in India, Eckenstein was detained by British authorities for three weeks on suspicion of being a spy, and not allowed to enter Kashmir. He and Crowley were convinced that Martin Conway was responsible for trying to interfere with their attempt on K2, and only when they threatened to take the matter to the newspapers was Eckenstein released.
Eckenstein was already well known in the west as an English rock climber-mountaineer, and godfather of bouldering as a sport. He, like Crowley, delved deeply into the ancient knowledge. Eckenstein was noticed as 'unusual' - probably because of his power stellium clustered around Regulus, The Royal Star [@ 27Leo in his radix star chart]. His Mercury, Mars, and Proserpina are exactly conjunct on the cusp of Leo/Virgo, with Poseidon 26 Leo, no doubt adding a subtle illumination around his crown and possibly encircling his throat and shoulders. He smoked a pipe, but this layer of his energy field was probably a smokey opal colour, regardless. There may have also been a tint of rose opalesque near the heart. Eckenstein was a well educated engineer, and insufferably arrogant as we know of accomplished magicians of the era. He was not one to mince words, and a long feud with the Alpine Club caused many of its members to denigrate him. Crowley reports that anti-semitism may have played a role. Venus in Virgo next to fiery Leo contributes engineering ability and a pleasant visual image while in motion [competitive atheletes, dancers, models with 'grace, style, and inspiration' - Olympic level]. Saturn in Leo also adds a marvellous sense of timing and an interest in grounding safety innovations; he invented the modern crampon, was an innovator in climbing technique and developed practical mountaineering equipment. The following dedication appears in one of Crowley's books:

Elevation: 13024 ft / 3970 mClint Eastwood Director
American Directors, Volume II
by Jean-Pierre Coursodon with Pierre Sauvage.... As a director, Eastwood has a much greater faith in human nature than Don Siegel, with whom he is often compared. Some try to group him with Robert Aldrich or Sam Fuller, but Eastwood has none of their hyperkinetic qualities; instead, he brings the male-action film tradition into contact with the perspectives of Douglas Sirk and George Cukor. And three absolutely necessary elements: deeply developed humor, a mise-en-scene visual style, and an intimate knowledge of the American marrow: its juices, its toxins, its contradictions ....
Part of Eastwood’s strong appeal is that he seems too large for society. He embodies a dream: that a man can rise above the treadmill of bureaucracy and act on his own law. But the price of this independence is isolation. Eastwood’s films often focus on this theme, as if to say that good can triumph in the world only when set apart from it ....
As of April 2004, Mountaineers are warned to bypass the North Face of the Eiger, one of the world's most difficult climbs; it has become too dangerous to attempt because its ice fields are melting. There is a steady process loosening the permafrost that holds the rockface together. The result is that the North Face, which has claimed more than 60 lives since the first successful ascent in 1938, is "falling apart", leaving climbers at severe risk of being injured or killed by falling rock and ice.
A spokesman for the Swiss Alpine Club said that recent climatic developments have made the 1938 route up the North Face too dangerous. "My advice to anyone contemplating the Eiger is not to try the North Face."

The Song Remains The Same
Everest 1996
In the 1997 text Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer—where the author personally recounted the events of the 1996 Everest disaster—Krakauer states:
"Walter Mittys with Everest dreams need to bear in mind that when things go wrong up in the death zone (above 26,000 feet)—and sooner or later they always do—the strongest guides in the world may be powerless to save a client's life; indeed as the events of 1996 demonstrated , the strongest guides in the world are sometimes powerless to save even their own lives."Everest: The North Wall
They were seventeen climbers and six tons of food and equipment, and it took a minibus followed by a caravan of bulbous fendered Chinese flatbeds to move them across the Tibetan Plateau. In places the road crossed rocky streambeds and they had to get out and help push the trucks through. On the fourth day, they crossed a pass and had their first close look at the mountain they had traveled half the world to climb. Even at thirty miles the great summit dominated the skyline; on this north side the sweep of its pyramid was unobstructed, rising white and black, snow and rock. From the top the emblematic plume boiled to leeward a mile or more, like a banner off the lance of a royal knight: it marked the great altitude where the summit punctured the jet stream.
The climbers yelled to the truck driver to stop. They stared at the mountain in silence. It was a couple of minutes before anyone spoke.
-Dick Bass & Frank Wells with Rick Ridgeway, Seven Summits
"A story of exotic climes, camaraderie, and challenge: of ice storms and literal cliff-hanging danger: of two men who wanted to stand on top of the world…and see it all from its seven summits."
-Clint Eastwood
"Dick Bass and Frank Wells shared a great adventure. Like Caesar, they came, they saw, they conquered. But actually, they conquered themselves, not the mountains."
H. Ross Perot
Important Moments in Mountain Climbing
Edmund Hillary (1919–2008) New Zealand. First ascent Everest (1953) with Tenzing Norgay.
Richard "Dick" McGowan(1933–2007) USA. First US successful ascent of Everest, International Himalayan Expedition (1955).
Jon Krakauer (born 1954) USA. Author and mountaineer. Summited Everest (1996). Wrote Eiger Dreams, Into The Wild and Into Thin Air.Scott Fischer (1955–1996) USA. Lhotse 1990, K2 1992, Everest 1994; died in 1996 Mount Everest disaster.
Rick Ridgeway (born 1950) USA. Author, filmmaker, photographer, member of first American team to summit K2.
Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) UK. Occultist, writer, and rock climber. The first serious attempt to climb K2 was undertaken in 1902 by Oscar Eckenstein and Aleister Crowley, via the Northeast Ridge. Crowley led the early expeditions on K2 and Kanchenjunga that provided essential information for climbers who would follow. See Crowley’s Confessions*.
The Kangchenjunga expedition (1905) was the first attempt at climbing the mountain. Kangchenjunga is located on the eastern border of Nepal with India. It is the third highest peak in the world. Headed by Aleister Crowley and Dr. Jules Jacot-Guillarmod, they reached 6,500 metres on the southwest side of the mountain before turning back. Conflicting reports as to the reason the team split and several people set out for a lower camp at sunset. Based on reports I've read it seems one or more members of the core team froze [terror] - unable to overcome fear of the mountain, considered sacred by local residents. The descending group were near the Yalung glacier when a huge mass of snow killed Alexis Pache and three porters.
Heinrich Harrer (1912–2006) Austria. First ascent Eiger north face (1938) and Carstensz Pyramid (1962). Author of Seven Years in Tibet.

The White Mountain
J.R.R. Tolkien writes the White Mountain name, in the world of mortals, as Taniquetil, the loftiest peak of Middle-earth geography in THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy. It lay on the eastern borders of Valinor, and on its peak stood the halls of Manwë and Varda.
J.R.R. Tolkien included this geographical reference in a letter to his son Michael:
"I am ... delighted that you have made the acquaintance of Switzerland, and of the very part that I once knew best and which had the deepest effect on me. The hobbit (Bilbo’s) journey from Rivendell to the other side of the Misty Mountains, including the glissade down the slithering stones in the pine woods, is based on my adventures in 1911 ..." " ... but leave many vivid pictures as clear as yesterday ... We went on foot carrying great packs practically all the way from Interlaken, mainly by mountain paths, to Lauterbrunnen and so to Mürren and eventually so to the head of the Lauterbrunnenthal in a wilderness of moraines."Studying his drawings, it is patently obvious the Rivendell Looking East, the study for the Hobbit illustration ‘Rivendell’ is based on the Lauterbrunnen.
Tolkien also states that his inspiration for Celebdil was the Silberhorn (not to be confused with Mount Silberhorn in the Southern Alps of New Zealand) of the Bernese Alps:
"I left the view of the jungfrau with deep regret: eternal snow, etched as it seemed against eternal sunshine, and the Silberhorn sharp against dark blue: the Silvertine (Celebdil) of my dreams."

Himalaya Eric Valli 1999
l'enfance d'un chef (original title)
Stars: Thilen Lhondup, Gurgon Kyap and Lhakpa TsamchoeA wonderful big-screen adventure and a visually breathtaking movie, Himalaya is an event for people of all ages. Filmed in the Dolpo region of Nepal under the most challenging conditions, Himalaya tells the story of a generational struggle between an old chief and a young caravaner as they make their annual salt-delivery trek across the Himalayas. Featuring a cast that is mostly non-professional, it is the first dramatic feature film by Eric Valli, noted author, documentary filmmaker and National Geographic photographer, who has lived in the Dolpo region of Nepal for nearly two decades.
Filming over a period of nine months with cinematographers Eric Guichard and Jean-Paul Meurisse, Valli vividly portrays the endless cycles of survival faced by villagers nestled 15,000 feet high and captures the fast disappearing traditions of a remote Tibetan culture. Himalaya is all the more powerful because it feels so authentic. In Tibetan and Nepali languages with English subtitles.
France/Nepal/Switzerland 2000
104 minutesK2 Franc Roddam 1992, Paramount
Based upon a true story, the movie follows the exploits of Brooks and Jamison as they attempt to conquer the mountain. It may be second to Everest but it's the mother of all mountains in terms of precipitous difficulty. As of 1990, 27 people had died in attempts to climb it. Only 71 have made it to the top. Mountain scenes are stunningly filmed by cinematographer Gabriel Beristain in Pakistan and British Columbia.
Chapter III Beginnings of Mysticism
In October 1902 Crowley experienced several tremendous spiritual events [state of dhyana]. He then visited Anuradhapura and others of the buried cities of Ceylon. In November he went to India, and in January visited I.A. at Akyab in Burma, where that Adept was living in a monastery with the intention of preparing himself to take the Yellow Robe of the Buddhist Sangha. The whole of the summer of 1902 was spent in an expedition to Chogo Ri (K2) in the Himalayas. During the whole of this period he did very little occult work.
November 1902 found him in Paris, where he stayed off and on till the spring of 1903, when he returned to his house in Scotland.
... Modern writers have made a great deal of fun of the golden age; they have been at great pains to prove that primitive man is a bloodthirsty savage. The Balti gives them the lie. These men were all innocence, all honesty, all good faith, all loyalty, all human kindness. They were absolutely courageous and cheerful, even in face of that they supposed to be certain death of a most uncomfortable kind. They had no disquietude about death and no distaste for life.

The Mantegna deck of cards, though not a traditional Tarot Deck, is certainly a beautiful reproduction of a gorgeous piece of Renaissance artwork.A reworking of the deck (according to Jonathan Dee) made for Pope Pius II during the Congress of Mantua in 1459, and attributed -incorrectly- to the Renaissance artist Andrea Mantegna. This is not a "Tarot" deck. It is an "Encyclopedic" deck representing a model of the universe. The number of cards, their symbolism, their organization, and the way they are used are all very different from a standard Tarot. This deck consists of 50 cards, in 5 groups of 10, and they gradually go up in rank, from #1, "The Wretch," all the way to #50 "The Divine Light," the Source of All Things. Group 1 (cards 1-10) are the "Human Conditions" which depict various strata of rank & prestige in late Medieval society. Next (cards 11-19) are the "Muses" representing forms of artistic expression, ruled by #19, Apollo, the Prince of Knowledge. Cards 21-30 are the "Arts and Sciences" the general fields of study in Medieval academia. 31-40 are "Geniuses and Virtues," which starts with Intellect, Senses, Vital Functions, and the seven virtues. The last 10 cards are the seven Planets, the Upper Heavens, Prime Mover, and Divine Light.

* From Crowley’s Confessions: notes re ascent on K2
"From Ghore to Biange is another long march, but less monotonous. The views are increasingly superb and the solitude was producing its beneficent results. The utterly disproportionate minuteness of man purges him of his smug belief in himself as the final cause of nature. The effect is to produce not humiliation but humility, and this feeling is only the threshold of a selfishness which restores the balance by identifying one with the universe of which one's physical basis is so imperceptibly insignificant a fraction.From Biange one can see Mitre Peak across the glacier. Although a relatively minor summit (7,500 metres), its architecture is incomparable. The name is inevitable. From this point of view the double horn could not fail to suggest the title (I had myself indulged in a little nomenclature, calling a mountain crowned by three square-cut towers of rock "Three Castles".)"
