>Evola is a controversial figure in the Traditionalist school. Not because of his sentiments with fascism, but because he didn't choose a tradition to follow.
i think he also believed in personal initiation, for example using buddhist techniques, something that is nonsensical for someone like Guenon and i suppose most others traditionalists, for whom initiation is only possible if you link yourself to an unbroken chain of tradition that goes all the way back to a moment of divine intervention. it's a sort of deus otiosus worldview where god only intervenes in the world at certain points (at the beginning of a cycle) and then remain inaccessible the rest of the time, specially in the kali yuga

was guenon right about psychoanalysis being a form of pseudo-initiation and confusing the lowest for the highest?
