Julius Evola

English original here

Jedinců, kteří nám pomáhají poukázat na znepokojivou cestu, po níž se ubírá existence velké většiny lidí, je za těchto zhoršených podmínek málo a hrozí, že budou zaměňováni se šarlatány.Do této kategorie patří bez nejmenší pochybnosti „tajemný pan Gurdžijev“, tedy Georgij Ivanovič Gurdžijev (1866 – 1949).

Flowers publient The Secret King: Karl Maria Wiligut, Himmler’s Lord of the Runes en 2001[1]. Read more …

Mr. Gurdjieff

Julius Evola

Translated by Greg Johnson

Czech translation here

George Orwell on W. B. Yeats as Occult Fascist

George Orwell

William Butler Yeats, 1865–1939

2,250 words

“W. B. Yeats” (1943)

One thing that Marxist criticism has not succeeded in doing is to trace the connection between “tendency” and literary style. The subject-matter and imagery of a book can be explained in sociological terms, but its texture seemingly cannot. Yet some such connection there must be. Read more …

Translated by Cologero Salvo

From Chapter IX, “Il Satanismo” (“Satanism”) of Maschera e volto dello spiritualismo contemporaneo (“Mask and Face of Contemporary Spiritualism”)
