Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre Alexandre Saint-Yves, Marquess of Alveydre (26 March 1842, Paris 5 February 1909, Pau) was a French occultist who adapted the works of Fabre d'Olivet (1767 1825) and, in turn, had his ideas adapted by Papus. He developed the term Synarchy the association of everyone with everyone elseinto a political philosophy, and his ideas about this type of government proved influential in politics and the occult.

[edit] Biography
[edit] Early years
Born in Paris, from a family of Parisian intellectuals and son of psychiatrist GuillaumeAlexandre Saint-Yves, he started his career as a physician at a naval academy in Brest which he soon abandoned after becoming ill. In 1863 he relocated to Jersey where he
connected with Victor Hugo. In 1870, he returned to France to fight in the FrancoPrussian War during which he was injured. He then began a career as a civil servant. In 1877 Saint-Yves met and married Countess Marie de Riznitch-Keller, a relative of Honor de Balzac, and friend of the Empress Eugnie de Montijo, a move which made him independly wealthy. He dedicated the rest of his life to research and had a large number of influential contacts including Victor Hugo. Saint-Yves later knew many of the major names in French occultism such as Marquis Stanislas de Guaita, Josphin Pladan and Oswald Wirth and was a member of a number of Rosicrucian, and Freemason style orders. Saint-Yves supposedly inherited the papers of one of the great founders of French occultism, Antoine Fabre d'Olivet (17621825). In 1877 he published the "Lyrical Testament", a collection of poetry, and "Keys of the Orient". In the latter book, he presents a solution (based on developing a religious understanding between Jews, Christians and Muslims) to the "question of the Orient", brought about by the decay of the Ottoman empire which caused tensions in the Near and Middle East. He also began to study the development of industrial applications of marine plants ( "Utilising extracts from seaweed" was published in 1879) but he could not perform the operation for lack of capital. In 1880, he was granted the title of Marquis of Alveydre by the government of San Marino. His book the Mission des Juifs (1884) was favourable to Jews, but material from it was used for The Secret of the Jews an anti-semitic tract attributed to Yuliana Glinka.
[edit] Influence
Saint-Yves's main disciple was the prominent occultist Papus who established a number of societies based on Synarchist ideas. Other notable followers included Victor Blanchard (18781953), Nizier Anthelme Philippe, Ren A. Schwaller de Lubicz and Emile Dantinne. Saint-Yves' works were also utilised in the development of Theosophy and Rudolf Steiner used Synarchy as a major influence in developing his political thought. Saint-Yves's ideas influenced the turbulent French politics of the early twentieth century where they served as a model for a number of right-wing groups and also in Mexico where synarchist groups have had a major political role. Theories concerning Synarchcist groups also have become a key element in a number of conspiracy theories.
