Baron Giulio Cesare Andrea Evola was born on May 19, 1898 in Rome. Along with René Guénon, Evola is one of the writers who has most influenced the metapolitical outlook and project of Counter-Currents, which is reflected in the fact that Evola is one of the most-tagged writers on this website. In commemoration of his birthday, I wish to draw your attention to the following resources. (more…)

King Charles III has won plaudits lately for his official trip to America, during which he gave a speech “subtly” condemning Donald Trump’s war in Iran, seemingly without Trump even realizing the fact, because that would have entailed Trump actually listening to someone properly for once. But was the true reason for the British monarch’s distaste for US actions in the Middle East that he is an undercover Muslim? (more…)

Edward Dutton
Shaman of the Radical Right: The Life and Mind of Jonathan Bowden
Imperium Press, 2025

It has just over one year since the publication of Edward Dutton’s biography of orator and activist Jonathon Bowden. As of March 29th, it has now been exactly 14 years since its subject matter passed away at the tragic age of 49, an event that Dutton’s well-researched biography sheds new light on.[1] The book itself was a timely affair. Bowden has progressively morphed into an online cult figure who, like many of his heroes, obtained greater fame posthumously than while alive; his distinctive bellow haunts the dissident internet with riveting soundbites taken from numerous intense and spellbinding lectures.

The Soul of Chivalry, produced by Cat Weiss (aka Philosophicat) is what I hope is the first of many videos introducing the world of Tradition to new audiences. It is primarily based on the chapter in Baron Julius Evola’s Revolt Against the Modern World by the same name while drawing heavily on other works by Evola, such as Eros and the Mysteries of Love, The Yoga of Power, and The Hermetic Tradition.

Desno trećesvjetaštvo tendencija je među pristašama široko shvaćene desnice (nacionalistima, novim desničarima, itd.) pristajanja uz stranu „Trećega svijeta”. Oni Treći svijet shvaćaju drugačije od izvornoga značenja, koje se odnosilo na zemlje koje su za vrijeme Hladnoga rata bile nesvrstane. (more…)

René Guénon was born on November 15, 1886. Along with Julius Evola, Guénon was one of the leading figures in the Traditionalist school, which has deeply influenced my own outlook and the metapolitical mission and editorial agenda of Counter-Currents Publishing and North American New Right. (For a sense of my differences with Guénon, see my lecture on “Vico and the New Right.”)

Savitri Devi was a philosopher, a religious thinker, and a tireless polemicist and activist for the causes of animal rights, European pagan revivalism, Hindu nationalism, German National Socialism, and — after the Second World War — pan-European racial nationalism. She also sought to found a religion, Esoteric Hitlerism, fusing National Socialism with the Traditionalism of René Guénon and Julius Evola. All told, she was one of the most extraordinary personalities of the 20th century. (more…)

1,646 words

James J. O’Meara has a book out, Mysticism After Modernism: Crowley, Evola, Neville, Watts, Colin Wilson, and Other Populist Gurus, published by Manticore Press. The book is about where mysticism intersects with culture and politics, rather than being some purely academic look at mysticism and the occult. It is also about thinkers who used magic to enact real-world change.

Much of the Right is dismissive or derisive of the occult, their criticisms ranging from conspiracy theories about evil Illuminati occultists to dismissing the New Age scene as being solely for Left-wing hippies. Regardless, there is a lot of crossover appeal and syncretic occultism. (more…)

Rightist third-worldism is a tendency among people of the broadly understood Right — nationalists, New Rightists etc. — to take the side of the “Third World.” The Third World is understood by them very differently from its original meaning — that is, referring to those countries that were not on either side of the Cold War).
