St. Patrick’s Day is near, the international celebration of all it means to be Irish. But what, precisely, does it mean to be Irish today? To not actually be Irish at all, if you can possibly help it—particularly not in terms of the nation’s once-dominant religion.

It is not so long ago that “Auld Ireland” was the most traditionalist Catholic nation in Western Europe, but that is no longer the case. (more…)

In Part 1, I laid out the historical significance of Christianity to European Civilization and the ultimate shortcomings that it undoubtedly has in retrospect. While this may have suggested a sort of anti-Christianity on my part, this could not be farther from the truth. The issue with Christianity was never that it could not produce a functioning society as a general system. (more…)

Today on the Right, there is much discussion of religion in the West, and for good reason. Whether we are talking about reactionaries who wish to wind back the clock to Protestantism, Catholicism, Paganism, or esoteric Traditionalism—or futurists looking forward to a new Nietzschean or vitalist dispensation—just about everyone on the Right has some position (or positions, often contradictory) on religion and its relationship to Rightist politics.

Another day, another article written in response to an act of desecration and vandalism perpetrated by those who seek to spoil whatever is left of that thing we once could call “Western Civilization.” Honestly, I was reluctant to write this.

I came to racialism in a curious way. There is a well-known singer in our country, Daniel Landa, who sang in the skinhead band Orlik and then went on to a solo music career, where he recorded many albums and composed several musicals. Landa is a role model for a lot of white guys in the Czech Republic: He’s a tough guy, a wrestler, a spiritual guru, a car racer, and a music composer. (more…)

Johann Christoph “Jan” Assmann, the world’s foremost Egyptologist and a profound religious thinker and cultural historian, died on Monday at the age of 85.

Assmann was born in Langelsheim in Lower Saxony and grew up in Lübeck and Heidelberg. After studying Egyptology, classical archeology, and Greek studies in Munich, Heidelberg, Paris, and Göttingen, as well as doing fieldwork in Egypt, Assmann was appointed professor of Egyptology at the University of Heidelberg in 1976, where he stayed until his retirement in 2003. Assmann then became Honorary Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Constance, where his wife Aleida Assmann taught English.
