Joseph Campbell, the famed teacher of comparative mythology, was born on this day in 1904. For many people, including yours truly, he has served as a “gateway drug” into not only a new way of looking at myths, but into a non-materialistic way of viewing the world. And although as a public figure, Campbell mostly remained apolitical, evidence from his private life indicates that he was at least nominally a “man of the Right.” (more…)

The psychologist Carl Jung was a race realist even by the standards of his day, when a certain amount of race realism was seen as simple common sense. He was also a great man and, like all great men, he was ahead of his time in many ways. While he didn’t foresee the precise predicament white people now face, he nevertheless mentioned almost as an aside in one of his more popular essays the answer to the perplexing question of why some people fiercely resist the possibility of racial differences in intelligence, personality, or any other feature of consciousness.

I was down in the dumps last weekend when I headed once more to the annual American Renaissance conference. This year was a significant milestone for the organization, founded by Jared Taylor in 1990: It was the twentieth such conference.

The following is the text of a talk that was given at the recent Counter-Currents Spring Retreat. The video can be seen here, or below.
Cyan asked me to speak on this topic, and before I begin, I just want to clarify something, because when it comes to these matters I’m overly pedantic. But historically speaking, ethnonationalism and religion don’t go together. This is because the nation-state itself, which was born out of either the French Revolution or the Second English Civil War, depending on who you ask, has always been secular and opposed to any mixing of politics and religion.

Cryptids are an endless source of fascination, and explanations for the phenomenon abound. My personal theory is that they are for the most part real, albeit in strange extradimensional, metaphysical ways. Regardless, whether they are real or not, and if so and in what manner, is a question of fact. Right now I want to deal with the question of their meaning. (more…)

„Mým opravdovým náboženstvím je víra v sílu krve.“ D. H. Lawrence
David Herbert Lawrence (1885–1930) je považován za jednoho z nejvlivnějších spisovatelů 20. století. Jeho romány i básně lze číst mj. jako polemiku a proroctví, sám Lawrence se totiž považoval za proroka a zvěstovatele nového úsvitu, vůdce-spasitele, jenž osobně přinese nesmírnou oběť v podobě převzetí stěží přestavitelné zodpovědnosti diktátora, což lidstvo osvobodí, tak aby mohlo znovu nabýt svého lidství.

The recent movie on Elvis Presley[1] is exceptional in its acting, script, and production. For those interested in such matters, it is also excellent as cultural history.
The movie deals to a significant extent with the African influences on Presley’s music. As a little boy growing up in a poor, integrated neighborhood, he was fascinated by the rhythms and gyrations of the blacks, including black gospel music. (more…)

The relationship between Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung lasted just six years, from 1907 to 1913, moving from mutual admiration to friendship to professional association and finally to an irreconcilable split, and although there was a woman involved, Russian emigré Sabina Spielrein was not part of any love triangle with the two men. She was Jung’s lover, sporadically, and Freud became her confidante, but Fraülein Spielrein became a psychoanalytic theorist in her own right, even being credited (erroneously) with pre-empting Freud’s theory of the death instinct after her work on destruction and becoming as mutually supportive functions within the self.
