Esoteric Geography – Mountains.

For thousands of years natural formations often had magical, spiritual meanings assigned to them by various cultures. We will examine some of the geographical concepts - this time through esoteric eyes. Let's start with mountains!

 

Mountains themselves are fascinating creatures. At once frightening, magnificent and welcoming. The mountain as a spiritual or sacred site accompanies the written history of mankind.

The names of mountains are usually the same as the resident deity or spirit of that place. In China various gods and dragons live in the mountains. Since about three-quarters of the country is mountainous this ‘mountain-cult’ is very much present. In feng shui for the proper energy flow the country's leaders should locate the country's Parliament on a hill or mountain. In India Mount Meru is considered to be the centre of the world.

The mountain has been a symbol for thousands of years, the residence of deities and knowledge, the symbol of stability and continnuity and even the centre of the world. It is a sp
