From a practical point of view, such a path is exceedingly difficult. It is difficult enough alone, but trickier in tandem, as differences in development are usually inevitable. Some few women will find themselves attracted to such a man, even if they are not quite sure why. Continue reading
As for what Evola wrote you, I agree with him that there used to exist a Western initiatic tradition; but, unfortunately, I strongly doubt that it can be considered as still currently living. I certainly encounter, from time to time, the assertion of the existence of spiritual centres in this or that region of Europe, but, up until now, I have had no proof that that assertion is justifiable.

Man and his Becoming will draw the attention of the well trained and qualified reader. It will also become the source of misunderstandings for a certain category of “third rate” critics and intellectuals who oscillate between platitudes and political and spiritual fancies. Continue reading
she brought the whole range of a practised feminine charm into play, from the breasts deliberately displayed to the male, to the discreet, almost telepathic scent given off by her skin which she intensified by occasionally lifting her arm to send a supplementary blast from the armpit.

It is nice to know that once upon a time in Europe, Emperors, Kings, Knights, Templars, Hermetists, Saints, Mystics, Troubadours and so much more were abounding. Now we know there were also Sorcerers and probably there still are. Continue reading

I offer, here, some thoughts on initiation, and bring up the question of its necessity and … Continue reading
The problem of the possible and the real seems very simple and obvious to me, but, of course, under the condition of examining it from the metaphysical point of view. It is obvious that, from the philosophical point of view, one can always think anything whatsoever and discuss a problem endlessly without ever reaching a conclusion; it is even what characterizes profane speculation, and I have never been able to entertain any interest for those so-called “problems” that fundamentally have only a verbal existence. Continue reading
We have given free rein to Guenon’s critique of Evola which, as far as it goes, is justified. Now we can turn the tables and explore what Evola found lacking in Guenon, specifically, the two issues of “Guenonian Scholasticism” and “Bureaucratic Initiation”. The mutual critiques are of different orders, but … Continue reading
every possibility that is a possibility of manifestation must necessarily be manifested by that very fact, and that, inversely, any possibility that is not to be manifested is a possibility of non-manifestation. Continue reading
