WH Müller, author of Polaria: Gift of the White Stone, along with Mario Garza of Symbolic Studies, were recently interviewed HERE, if anyone is interested. I've kept this book as a kind of secret talisman since I first acquired it in the 1990s and quietly advocated it to anyone I thought would benefit from it ever since. If you do a search of the title in this forum you will find my mentioning it here several times. They talk a bit about some German Typhonians in the interview that I thought you guys might find amusing.

I'd never heard of this title until a few months ago when, preparing for a podcast, one of the questions on the list was about this book. I've still not read it, but one of the interviewers seemed to think that it might have been by Kenneth Grant writing under an assumed name. I said that it was unlikely, given that there is no reference to it in Kenneth's diaries and papers. Would be very interested to hear from you your impressions of the novel.

I heard that you gave an interview to Juan Ayala. I had commented to those guys on one of their many podcasts back in September when they finally arrived at Polaria. They were speculating in the show that the author was KG, in fact were quite convinced of it, and that sparked me to leave a comment about it having nothing at all to do with KG and that the author is alive and well in Berlin. Juan responded back and said it was curious that I made a point to say that and that he had just interviewed you the week before and said you had told him basically the same thing, without the added bit about the author being alive of course. (Looking forward to hearing that interview you gave to them whenever it is available.)* It's a bit difficult for me to describe what Müller's book is about as I think I've taken the material into places that even the author never intended and it's hard to separate my own legend from his map. I've been living and working with this material since 1997 when it first fell into my lap. I could never really get anyone else interested in it to really talk about its implications, so I began keeping it to myself and following its clues on my own for years. My own breakthroughs with it really began in 2015. It's not a novel but is an exegesis on the Alchemical-Polar tradition embedded in Lovecraft's work. One might compare it in style to a combination of Grave's The White Goddess and Fulcanelli's Mystery of the Cathedrals. * EDIT: Synchronistically, it looks like that interview dropped yesterday as I was posting this. It can be heard at the link I provided above to Juan Ayala's website: titled "#183 The Kenneth Grant Revival with Michael Staley & Mario Garza".

Thanks for that, Nalyd. Your summary is intriguing. No problem Mick. I was thinking that perhaps a few excerpts from the book may clarify it more or at least give an idea of what it's about. The first three are from the author's introduction and describe the intent of the book. The fourth excerpt is an example of how the bulk of the book reads. And just for good measure, here's one more that elaborates on some of the themes of that last quote.
