Some may say that we are exaggerating: but it is difficult for Cesaro’s friend [Evola himself] to demonstrate here that Cesaro’s premises, i.e., those of Steiner, rigorously thought out, are sufficient to lead to so much. We don’t want to be considered tendentious and therefore we will emphasize that in … Continue reading

Middle Earth Once More
“By way of such aspects, we see—it is clear—in the Middle Ages an awakening of the true forces already acting in Nordic-Aryan Romanity, of its true solarity, propitiated from such a resurgence or rebirth from a new contribution of Aryan blood…” Gornahoor translating Evola, on Cesaro Indeed, a tremendously sophisticated … Continue reading
The Hidden History of Rome (5)
In fact, we see Christianity becoming Roman with Catholicism: purifying itself of its original anarchic, universalist, and humanitarian aspects, and giving rise, in the Middle Ages, to a civilization that is characteristic of the type we articulated: hierarchical, tied to traditions of caste and blood, interspersed with initiatic elements Continue reading
The Hidden History of Rome (4)
Now at this point, those issues must be raised, that spiritually—our friend Duke di Cesaro will permit us to be sincere—have a subversive character. We said that in such a placement the very meaning of the opposition between the Olympian and telluric elements remains distorted, since Olympian spirituality is not … Continue reading
Mythos and Logos
We want to substitute faith for law, mythos for logos… will for pure reason, the image for the concept, and home for exile Therein lays Alain de Benoist’s creed, which he takes seriously and every reader of New Right literature also needs to take seriously.

Here, instead, only the highlights can be mentioned, which are … Continue reading

We could also say it ended with Charles Maurras, whose thought dominated the French right for decades yet is arguably the … Continue reading
How Keats May Have Died – in memory
Came he among the whispering wood, or in the golden meads, Still he holds the cypress crown, which gold Apollo gave. Walked he in stormy wind about or in the laze of noon, Yet still he sings the song around, eternal end too soon. He rose above the blue sky … Continue reading
The Hidden History of Rome (2)
The more or less obscure intuitive perception, translated into images provided by a particular attractive force of such a mystery, is the true essence of the legends of the origins. Therefore, Cesaro continues: Legend and history are strictly connected; the former proceeds through interiorization and is deployed by means of … Continue reading
On the Hidden History of Rome
Whether purely under dramatized form, they actually and truly represent the history of the beginnings of a nation, but the history not of events brought about materially on the earth, but rather of spiritual processes that have brought to birth, amidst other peoples, a new and different people through culture and civilization: history, so to speak, of its prenatal period, of its “mystery”.
