    Wagner Bicentennial Symposium  
    Wagner’s Place in the Germanic Tradition
    Part 1: The Origins of Der Ring des Nibelungen

    4282-the-dream-of-ossian-jean-auguste-dominique-ingres5,716 words

    Part 1 of 8

    1. Introduction

    Richard Wagner is the man principally responsible for keeping the Germanic mythological tradition alive in the modern world. Countless individuals have been exposed to that tradition through Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen, and it is safe to say that at any given moment somewhere in the world some portion of the Ring is being played or performed.

    Three Sonnets

    dolmenIn Hollow Hills

    Until the world turns black upon the hill
    The sleepers wait, within. The time must be
    Right. Two ravens must fly. A horn blown, shrill
    And high from within, must be heard. So we
    Wait, like the wild hunter himself. We must wait
    For the signs and sigils of impending
    Days. For is not our destiny, our fate,
    Linked with the hidden ones and with their king?

    On the Problem of the Meeting of Religions in East & West

    Jacques-Albert Cuttat

    Jacques-Albert Cuttat

    5,251 words

    As East and West is a review devoted not only to the study of Orientalism but also to the problem of the relations between East and West, it may not be out of place to deal here with the ideas on this subject which for some time past Jacques-Albert Cuttat has been championing, though in rather narrow circles.

    Cuttat is a Swiss scholar who had devoted himself especially to the comparative study of the different spiritual and religious forms, and who in a first period had joined the French “traditionalist” group heading up by René Guénon. (more…)

    Jag är frisk till kropp och själ, och jag är full av kärlek till min hustru och mina barn. Jag älskar livet och förväntar mig inget därbortom, utöver att mitt folk och min anda ska leva vidare. När jag nu i mitt livs slutskede står inför oerhörda hot mot mitt franska och europeiska hemland, känner jag emellertid att jag måste handla medan jag har styrka att göra det. Jag anser att det är nödvändigt att uppoffra mig själv för att bryta den apati som hemsöker oss. (more…)

    The Careful Gardener

    117 words

    Durer-aquilegia-vulgarisThe garden has been left unkempt. Now thorn
    and thistle thrive, burr, bramble and stinkweed.
    The path that led to tulips, once well-worn,
    is overgrown with wort and crabgrass seed.

    What grand and stately gardens — Egypt, Greece
    and Rome, though under the same sun and clouds
    they perished. When great civilizations cease
    existing their bleak ruins are but shrouds.

    Oswald Spengler was born on this day in 1880. For his contributions to the philosophy of history and culture, Spengler is one of the most important philosophical influences on the North American New Right, largely by way of his disciple Francis Parker Yockey. Spengler is often wrong, but even when he errs, he does so magnificently. (more…)

    Céline’s Journey to the End of the Night

    Celine81,654 words

    Translated by Greg Johnson*

    Louis-Ferdinand Céline’s extraordinary “pamphlets” — Trifles for a Massacre, The School for Cadavers, A Fine Mess — may have caused many admirers to forget that our recently-minted prophet first surfaced in the literary world as a novelist. It seems to me that Journey to the End of the Night — illustrious though it may be, and as unforgettable as the arrival of a cyclone — is still neglected in accounting for the makeup of the prodigious artistic phenomenon that is Céline.

    Parsifal & the Possibility of Transcendence

    hacker4,392 words

    In 1878 Nietzsche sent a copy of his book Human, All Too Human to Richard Wagner. At the same time Wagner sent Nietzsche a copy of the verse for his opera Parsifal. Nietzsche was later to write that when received this text, “I felt as if I heard an ominous sound – as if two swords had crossed.”[1] (more…)

    Louis-Ferdinand Céline was the pen name of French novelist, essayist, and physician Louis-Ferdinand-Auguste Destouches, who was born on this day in 1894. Céline is one of the giants of 20th-century literature. And, like Ezra Pound and so many other great writers of the last century, he was an open and unapologetic racial nationalist.

    1,537 words

    In a very good Jewish film about Depression-era Irish American gangsters, Road to Perdition (2002), English actor Jude Law played a creepy Irish crime photographer-cum-hit man named Harlen Maguire. Maguire lovingly shoots pictures of dead bodies (including his victims’) at crime scenes.

    Though a composite, Law’s character is based in large part on real-life Jewish crime scene photographer “Weegee,” born Ascher Fellig in Austrian Galicia (present-day Ukraine) in 1899. (more…)

Men i mit livs efterår, foran de store farer mit franske og europæiske fædreland står overfor, føler jeg behov for at handle, mens jeg stadig er i stand til det. Jeg tror, det er nødvendigt at ofre mig selv til at bryde med den apati, som plager os. Jeg ofrer hvad liv der stadig er i mig for at protestere og for at vise en grundlæggende modstand. (more…)

    The following text is an excerpt from Plato’s dialogue Eythydemus translated by Benjamin Jowett. Here Socrates seeks to convince Cleinias, the son of Axiochus, who is something of a “dumb jock,” and thus a tough sell, that wisdom is of paramount importance to the good life and that philosophy, as the love of wisdom, is thus the noblest of pursuits.
