On some ancient maps, the North Pole is indicated by a ‘phantom island’, located at the heart of the ice-bound Hyperborea. Flemish cartographer Mercator described this Insula Magnetum, the ‘Isle of the Magnets’, as Rupes Nigra — the ‘Black Rock’.
What nearly all of the modern ‘reading public’ failed to see was that the old mythological concept of Rupes Nigra referred to another kind of truth — a truth that still holds validity, even if it is ‘snowed under’ by mountains of scientific reports and soul-killing ‘tourist moments’.
The higher truth contained in the concept of Rupes Nigra, a truth naturally inaccessible to ‘flat-world’ modern thinking, rests on an older notion of True North, which refers to the ‘pole’ as the Unmoved Mover: the ‘fixed point’ of all traditional cosmologies.
In a very literal fashion, it has a totally true astronomical reference point in the stars: Polaris — Stella Maris (cf. Chapter 11). In traditional cosmologies, Rupes Nigra simply represents the earthly hypostasis of the heavenly Unmoved Mover.
Its reputed ‘magnetic’ quality refers to the fact that all the cosmic forces governing the Earth relate to it in a centrifugal and centripetal manner (as scientifically established in the mathesis of axial rotation). Its reputed ‘black’ quality refers to the fact that, during the Dark Age, the Unmoved Mover is occulted in the immanent sphere that rules human sensual perception (as theologically established in the concept of Deus Absconditus).
In the Persian Tradition, this Hyperborean ‘True North’ is associated with Mount Qaf: the only ‘place’ where the Roc or Simorgh (Phoenix) Bird can land. In that tradition, Mount Qaf is supported by the giant Bahamut sea monster — a ‘mythical’ monster that the Bible refers to as Behemoth (Job 40:15ff) and that Scandinavian folklore knows as the Kraken.
