>Guenon and Evola believe in the complete annihilation of the Self after death. It's basically esoteric atheism. I'm not saying that there isn't value in their work, but their mode of thought kind of defeats it's own purpose in that it's approach to death is satisfactory for most that are interested in spirituality

I knew I was right. He added the “Aryan” element in another book somewhere but here are the first three:
>Overall, according to the common perception (which, as a starting point, is correct), the medieval civilization was shaped by three elements: Northern-pagan, Christian, and Roman. The first played a decisive role in regard to the ethics, lifestyle, and social structure. The feudal regime, the knightly morals, and the civilization of the courts, the original substance that engendered the crusading spirit are inconceivable without a reference to Nordic-pagan blood and spirit.
>Thus we may speak of a state of an involutive latency of the Nordic tradition. But as soon as contact with Christianity and with the symbol of Rome occurred, a different condition ensued; this contact had a galvanizing effect. In spite of everything, Christianity revived the generic sense of a supernatural transcendence. The Roman symbol offered the idea of a universal REGNUM, of an ‘aeternitas’ carried by an imperial power. All this integrated the Nordic substance and provided superior reference points to its warrior ethos, so much as to gradually usher in one of those cycles of restoration that I have labeled “heroic” in a special sense.

Occultism in the eyes of orientalist/interesting characters? Everyone knows people like Evola and Guenon were into occultism, my question is why are their takes largely discredited by the occultist community? Nobody recommends Guenon or Evola to people wanting to get into occultism or even eastern thought and largely regarded as having misunderstood a lot of what they write about. Why is this?

>Introduction to Magic
>The Doctrine of Awakening
Which one should I read first to get a good idea of the traditionalist views?
