As retarded as this guy and countless others.

am i correct in my understanding that families who descend from gods have a free get-out-of-mortality card from birth? for example, emperor akihito has already achieved immortality since he descends from amaterasu.
also, what would have to happen for some god to send a new divine family down to earth?

Leave Guenon to me.

Ride the Tiger.

anyone know of a place where evola or guenon talk about psychedelics?

Well, what the fuck was his problem?

Hey /lit/, i'm looking to read some of Julius Evolas works, but don't know where to start.

Has anyone else read his works?
Which book should I read first?

get a handicap sticket

I am curious what your opinions on Evola are, I am about 75% through Hermetic Tradition, and it is pretty interesting so far. I haven't gotten into his popular books yet, but I constantly see them shilled around here.

Are his views really worth reading or is he a meme? I'm not that interested in traditionalism, will I still learn anything good from him?

>"America ... has created a 'civilization' that represents an exact contradiction of the ancient European tradition. It has introduced the religion of praxis and productivity; it has put the quest for profit, great industrial production, and mechanical, visible, and quantitative achievements over any other interest. It has generated a soulless greatness of a purely technological and collective nature, lacking any background of transcendence, inner light, and true spirituality. America has [built a society where] man becomes a mere instrument of production and material productivity within a conformist social conglomerate."

>“Nothing is more evident than that modern capitalism is just as subversive as Marxism. The materialistic view of life on which both systems are based is identical; both of their ideals are qualitatively identical, including the premises connected to a world the center of which is constituted of technology, science, production, ‘productivity,’ and ‘consumption.’ And as long as we only talk about economic classes, profit, salaries, and production, and as long as we believe that real human progress is determined by a particular system of distribution of wealth and goods, and that, generally speaking, human progress is measured by the degree of wealth or indigence — then we are not even close to what is essential."

She looks like Evola.>>10109516
>>10109672

is it just symbolic of individuation—a reflection of the universal subconscious evident in myths from around the world?

Reading The Hermetic Tradition, is there any good companion literature to go with this?

What philosophers do I need to be familiar with before reading Evola? Asking for a friend.

What should I read first Revolt Against The Human Race or Ride The Tiger?
