It’s the most basic thing in the world: You can look at a rock, think it’s a bear, and run away. Or you can glimpse a bear, assume it’s a rock, and get eaten. Over time, evolution will select for seeing bears, when in fact, 99 times out of 100, it’s just rocks. Then clever fools will come and say that believing in a bear infestation is primitive superstition, and that they, taught by “science” and “logic,” have surmised that there are no bears among the rocks. In fact, bears do not even exist. (more…)

Od okultismu k esoterismu
Guénon se narodil 15. listopadu 1886 do silně katolické rodiny z města Blois. V roce 1904, po vykonání pouti do Lurd, odešel studovat do Paříže. Ve studiích však postupoval jen velice zdráhavě: svou licence získal až ve svých devětadvaceti letech. O tři roky později pak neuspěl při agrégation z filozofie, když neobhájil doktorskou práci „Všeobecný úvod do studia hinduistických doktrín“. (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.”)

Parmi les gens de droite qui s’occupent de la relation de l’homme avec le reste du monde naturel, on trouve un certain nombre d’approches. Il y a les conservatistes anthropocentriques, qui promeuvent l’« utilisation sage » ou la gestion prudente des ressources naturelles pour les générations futures. (more…)

Οι ανήκοντες στη Νέα Δεξιά συνδέονται εν μέρει μέσω κοινών πνευματικών ενδιαφερόντων. Στον κατάλογό μου αυτών των ενδιαφερόντων θα κατέτασσα σε υψηλή θέση τα έργα του Μάρτιν Χάιντεγγερ και εκείνα της Παραδοσιοκρατικής [1] [2] σχολής , ειδικά του Ρενέ Γκενόν και του Ιουλίου Έβολα. Η δική μου δουλειά επηρεάστηκε σε μεγάλο βαθμό τόσο από τον Χάιντεγγερ όσο και από την Παραδοσιοκρατία. (more…)

From Esotericism, Religion, and Nature (Studies in Esotericism), ed. Arthur Versluis, Claire Fanger, Lee Irwin, and Melinda Phillips (Mankato, Minnesota: North American Academic Press, 2010).
Savitri Devi (1905–1982[1]) was born Maximine Julia Portaz in Lyons, France, of English, Italian, and Greek ancestry.[2] She was a highly gifted and eccentric child. Early on, she embraced vegetarianism and animal rights out of a strong aesthetic revulsion to slaughter and other forms of cruelty to animals. (more…)

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…)

Soon after the fall of Kabul, I witnessed an online exchange between a conservative and libertarian. The conservative commented that America had been weakened by her liberal stance towards degeneracy, whereas the Taliban were hardy, traditional men whose strength emanated precisely from their traditional approach to social matters.

V antropologických kruzích dnes převažují dvě základní teorie o zrodu moderního člověka. Tou první je hypotéza „africké kolébky“, podle níž se dnešní lidé vyvinuli z primitivní hominidní rasy, která před asi sedmdesáti tisíci lety začala ze své africké kolébky osídlovat ostatní kontinenty. V Evropě a Asii vytlačili tito pralidé násilným konfliktem a vyšší plodností původní neandrtálce. Následně se přizpůsobili svému novému prostředí a postupně se působením takzvané lokalizované evoluce vyvinuli v dnešní lidské rasy. (more…)

If we believe that we are living in the dark age, or Kali Yuga, then we must believe that things will only continue to get worse before they get better. We should therefore look for silver linings whenever we can find them. One such silver lining is that the traditional distinction between the Right-Hand Path and the Left-Hand Path has crumbled. This crumbling has positive implications both for esoteric initiation as well as exoteric politics, and has arguably created the possibility of a Third Path that is more suitable towards action than contemplation.
