>I am mostly concerned that people like Evola and Guenon and their followers suffer from a kind of elitism that you find a lot in the occult. On the one hand you have people like Crowley and Blavatsky, who surround themselves with symbols and rites and things of the sort, and on the other hand you have someone like a St. Augustine, who attains to the divine through profound resignation. Evola and Guenon seem to tend more towards the former.
i mean not sure about Evola but Guenon was against syncretism. He uses the symbol of the wheel where different traditions are the radius pointing to the same immovable center, but at the same time it makes no sense to mix components from different traditions because they work as a whole, not as isolated components to be consumed by modern isolated individuals
