deities, and beliefs connected to the underworld from many
different cultures and mystery traditions * Investigates the role

Discusses the telluric currents that run through ley lines, the
significance of underground waterways, Hollow Earth theory, and the
denizens of the subterranean realms, such as dragons, gnomes, and
dwarfs Ancient cultures around the world understood the spiritual
powers of the underworld. For millennia, natural caves and caverns
were turned into sacred underground temples and, from holy
mountains and cliffs, churches were beautifully carved into solid
rock. Offering a guide to the spiritual energies that flourish
beneath the surface of the Earth, Jean-Pierre Bayard explores the
esoteric mysteries of the underworld, including the symbolic
significance of caves, caverns, and underground temples. He
examines in depth the myths, symbology, deities, and beliefs
connected to the underworld from many different cultures and
mystery traditions, from ancient Egypt to Scandinavia and Europe to
the Middle East and India. He investigates the role of the
underworld in initiatory rites, such as the Orphic Mysteries and
Christ's descent into hell, revealing that at the heart of these
teachings is the transformative power of a hero's descent into and
return from the underworld. The author connects the esoteric
attributes of the world below with the cult of the Black Madonna
and the earlier cult of Isis. He discusses the telluric currents
that run through ley lines, the significance of underground
waterways, the esoteric properties of gems and stones, and the
"mineral blood" of the alchemists. He also looks at Hollow Earth
theory and the denizens of the subterranean realms, such as
dragons, gnomes, and dwarfs. Explaining how the Earth is the womb
of the world, Bayard shows how initiatic descent into the sacred
subterranean realms reflects the descent of spirit into matter and
its slow crystallization. By entering the body of the Earth Mother
we are transformed, initiated into primordial wisdom and reborn as
spiritual beings.
