Les Commandements de Gôt de Karl Maria Wiligut

Karl Maria Wiligut, 1866–1946

5,501 words

Durant les quatre dernières décennies, on a écrit beaucoup de choses sur « l’occultisme nazi », généralement des bêtises. Chose incroyable, personne ne pensa à publier un recueil des textes « occultes » originaux du Troisième Reich – jusqu’à ce que Michael Moynihan et Stephen E. Flowers publient The Secret King: Karl Maria Wiligut, Himmler’s Lord of the Runes en 2001[1]. Read more …

Irmin Vinson is a very talented writer who deserves a wide audience. This is an excellent collection of essays by someone who has thought long and hard about the threats to our people and our culture.

As Mr. Vinson notes in the title essay, National Socialism was indeed an attempt to secure the ethnic interests of the German people, just as Judaism and Israel are attempts to secure the ethnic interests of Jews. Read more …

A. E. Stallings’ Hapax: Poems

510 words

A. E. Stallings
Hapax: Poems
Chicago: Triquarterly, 2006

A. E. Stallings began writing, doubtless, before her 20th birthday or thereabouts. I have no source to confirm this, but I can tell when a poet has gone to school with the great poets of the past, and when they began versifying. The earlier a poet starts reading and writing, the better ear he or she will have. Stallings has a fine ear. Read more …

Paganisme sans dieux :
Alain de Benoist et Comment peut-on être païen ?

words

1. Introduction

Le livre d’Alain de Benoist Comment peut-on être païen ?[1], comme son titre le suggère, est un appel pour un retour au paganisme. Beaucoup plus exactement, c’est un appel pour un nouveau paganisme. « Paganisme » est un terme inventé par les chrétiens pour désigner les  religions qu’ils souhaitaient supplanter. Le « néo-paganisme » est la tentative pour revenir à ces religions préchrétiennes indigènes. Read more …

Twilight of the West:
A Review of Boyd Rice’s Twilight Man

1,179 words

Czech translation here

Boyd Rice
Twilight Man
Heartworm Press, 2011

Boyd Rice’s latest novel/memoir is more than just a funny account of his adventures working as an alarm agent in San Francisco in the 1980s — it’s an account of his formative years, and goes a long way in explaining the dark, misanthropic, “fascist” persona we have come to know and love.

Brooks Adams’ The Law of Civilization & Decay

It was the first of a series of similar treatises and started the line followed, among others, by Spengler. Briefly its thesis is this — “As the attack in war masters the defence, and the combative instinct becomes unnecessary to the preservation of life, the economic supersedes the martial mind, being superior in bread-winning.
