Philosophy, as I have so far understood and lived it,
means living voluntarily among ice and high mountains—seeking
out everything strange and questionable in existence,
everything so far placed under a ban by morality.
Long experience, acquired in the course of such wanderings
in what is forbidden, taught me to regard the causes that
so far have prompted moralizing and idealizing in a very
different light from what may seem desirable: the hidden
history of the philosophers, the psychology of the great
names, came to light for me.” (Nietzsche, Ecce Homo...

Most assuredly, in remote places, in rarely penetrated mountain valleys, 
self-contained communities manifesting a much older sensibility can be more 
readily preserved. That is where we have to go looking for them. . . . Whoever 
after long practice has become a hundred-eyed Argos in this art of traveling 
will finally rejoin his Io-I mean his ego-everywhere, and will rediscover the 
travel-adventure of this transformative and evolving ego in Egypt and Greece, 
Byzantium and Rome, France and Germany, in the periods of the migratory or the 
sedentary peoples, in the Renaissance and Reformation, in one's own homeland and 
abroad, and indeed in the sea, the vegetation, and the mountains."-Human, 
All-Too-Human

Also, of the horse in ATDTDA (27):

Measure is alien to us, let us admit it to ourselves; what we itch for is the 
infinite, the unmeasured. Like a rider in a charging steed we let fall the reins

of bliss only when we are most -in danger.

And "the work"

By the oath of Belial and Saturn, the awakening of hidden light. I call upon 
thee, Asmodeus, devil-lord. I invoke thee within my very essence, Pass beyond 
the veil little known by most, for I AM a Child of this flesh! I offer now my 
own WILL to the powers of night, and of the Great Work itself! That through my 
dedication to the path of Witch blood, I shall know the secrets not so hidden!

All throughout history was this 'Great Work' taken to be the work of each 
succeeding generation until the last generation which shall see his return, as 
the Solar King of Light. The Egyptians, Sumerians, Celts, and Atlanteans before 
them all knew of his 'Mystery of Iniquity' provided them by the Hidden Masters 
and their familiar spirits.
