About This Book

A narrator investigates a legendary mountain and descends into its caves and grottoes to encounter elemental spirits—gnomes, fairies, and other subterranean beings—and to witness their hidden palaces, rituals, and treasures. The narrative follows episodic adventures through caverns, a dragon’s den, marble halls and a temple of Lucifer, including conflicts and efforts to bring light and education to the gnome-kingdom. Interwoven reflections consider the waning of visible contact between humans and nature-spirits, the misapplication of occult aid, and the moral consequences of sceptical, self-satisfied modern culture.

About the Author

Franz Hartmann

Franz Hartmann was a notable figure in the fields of mysticism and theosophy during the 19th century. He is best known for his works that explore the intersection of spirituality and science, particularly in the context of medicine and the occult. His book "Occult Science in Medicine" delves into the esoteric aspects of healing and the spiritual dimensions of health. Hartmann also contributed to the understanding of Rosicrucianism through his writings, such as "Among the Gnomes," which reflects his interest in mystical traditions and their relevance to contemporary life. His explorations continue to resonate with those interested in the spiritual and metaphysical realms.
