Saint Alexandre

Joseph Alexandre Saint-Yves, Marquis d’Alveydre (French: [sɛ̃tiv]; 26 March 1842 – 5 February 1909) was a French occultist who adapted the works of Fabre d'Olivet (1767–1825). His work on L'Archéomètre deeply influenced the young René Guénon, contributing to his development as a philosopher and occultist. Saint-Yves developed the term 'synarchy,' which he defined as the association of everyone with everyone else, into a political philosophy that proved influential in politics and the occult. His ideas were further adapted by Gérard Encausse alias Papus, who continued to expand on his work.
