i guess the book shows the dangers of taking the secret societies and big conspiracies like that too seriously, which is kind of weird to recommend, because both Guenon and Evola didn't take secret societies seriously, thought of them as modern deviations and not traditional at all, and didn't believe in conspiracies but in natural cycles of degeneration that civilizations suffer, not sure if some of the other authors fall for the conspiracy meme

and/or is it not a really big deal because the population generally splits and both ways of thinking and behaving have their 'natural' and un uses and worths.

She popped her cherry by penetration with a rose's stem, whose petals she used to sop up the blood. She then pressed them between the pages of an old Webster's and later sent them in a Clairefontaine envelope.

The blood fused white petals and dark ink, leaving the withered imprinted with nondescript lines of some Hebrew term.
