This translation is from the chapter on the theories of Count de Gobineau from Il mito del sangue, (The Myth of Blood). Although there is much to be said about this passage, I’ll leave it to the readers to draw out some conclusions. In some respects Gobineau agrees with Evola: … Continue reading →

Gornahoor has conducted a number of thought exercises, designed to aid the aspirant in “mental fasting”, a discipline of dropping old thoughts and thought-patterns or memes (compulsions).
