| MYTH AND COSMOGRAPHY |
One of
the very important aspects of mythological thoughts involves
its relationship to geographic space and to the symbology
of the compass. Physical geography is regarded in that intellectual
context as the manifestation or shadow of the mundus imaginalis
so that all features of the material world have spiritual
dimensions. Thus, East, the abode of the rising Sun is the
"Origin": Orient whence comes light and life but
it is also the past in the continuum of time whereas West,
the Occident, the sea of darkness where the Sun dies -"occire"
is the old french word for killing and a euphemism familiar
to various languages equates "going to the west"
with dying - enshrines the future.
