Race and Death
In this short segment on death and race from Sintesi di dottrina della razza, Julius Evola returns to traditional doctrines. As expected, he makes clear that personality transcends race, i.e., the person creates race, but the race does not create the person.

The Solar and the Demetrian Races
The ancient symbol of gold always had connections with this form of spirituality. In the political forms of the origins, it acted as the substrate to sacred, or divine, regality, i.e., to the union of the two powers, of the regal and priestly function. Continue reading

Race and Death
Since we now have 50 people in the entire world interested in reading more of Evola, I am releasing another section. It may be of value to compare it to Mircea Eliade’s description of the Legionary movement, from which the following quote is taken. Being a profoundly Christian movement, justifying … Continue reading
Greater and Lesser Battle
Just to give readers something to live for today. The battle differentiates, distinguishes, and creates hierarchy, especially when — to use some traditional expressions — it is not the small battle, but the great battle. It is not the battle of man against man or against the environment, but the … Continue reading
