Tradition and Traditionalism
Think hard, young men, and be prudent before committing your life. Continue reading
Vincit omnia Veritas
Those who will be successful in overcoming all these obstacles and in triumphing over the hostility of an environment opposed to all spirituality will doubtless be few in number. Confusion, error and darkness can enjoy no more than a specious and purely ephemeral triumph. Continue reading
On Lacking Credentials
You know when the living thought of a writer becomes fossilized when it turns into text for use by academics, particularly those who find it necessary to boast about their credentials before speaking. I would like to remind visitors that Evola refused to accept a degree in engineering, because he … Continue reading
Worlds Apart
It is a platitude to say that the men of our day no longer understand each other. This is nothing new since the Tower of Babel. But God had left a certain relation between men through the intelligence. Now it is this bridge which our day has just broken down.

Therefore, it can only be considered opinion and lacks the absolute certainty of metaphysical intuition. Continue reading
Absurdity in Discussion
Man comes from God; sin from man; ignorance and error, like pain and death, from sin; fallibility from ignorance; and from fallibility, absurdity in discussion. ~ Donoso Cortes Continue reading
All Things were restored to Order
Through the cross all who conquer gain victory; all who combat, strength; all who seek it, mercy; the unprotected, protection; those who are sad, joy; and consolation, all who weep. Continue reading
