Summary/Abstract: The article examines the “spiritual landscape” of modern Sofia and particularly – the place of the “sacred mountain” in the ideas and ritual practices of various occult communities that existed in the city from the late 19th to mid-20th century. Based on various sources the social construction of the sacred space (its borders, functioning and use) is studied. The main research question, explored by methods of history and cultural studies, is the importance of these formations, considered marginal subcultures, products of foreign cultural influences or followers of inherited spiritual tradition, in the Bulgarian “spiritual landscape”.
