> tfw when you, as a Frenchman, do the most utterly untraditional thing a Frenchman at the time could possibly do (convert to Islam) and 90 years later, people on internet message boards call you a "traditionalist"

Looks like the top of his forehead was loped off at the hair line in a swift and precise blow. His scalp then fell onto perfect alignment with the skull below and magically healed without much fuss.

Is forehead is actually the right size. It's the middle of his head that's weird - the distance from brows to nose is more than than the average person's

He was an interesting writer for those who are into Orientalism. Don't understand why these faggots are bringing up shit about his facial structure whenever someone makes a post about Guenon.

his splanchno/neuro-ratio is fucked up. thats his only problem.
tiny neurocranium (think shrek) looks comical by itself, but combine it with a face (/splanchnocranium) largely devoid of any masculine or robust features and it just looks "off" af

he didn't literally mean "following previously held customs" when he wrote about the Tradition you retard, pick up a book for once

Guenon was smarter then virtually ever poster ever on /lit/, was a auto-didact genuis, phenomenal with languages, knew his philosophy and math as well as anyone else not to mention esoteric primordial metaphysics. If you even for a moment make the mistake of thinking there is anything that one could possibly critique him for it's only because you didn't read or understand him. Guenon is the most important European writer in the entire 300 years of the 18th-21st centuries, you're talking about a literal God. Fucking pseuds

He predicted it was likely Islam would spread to Europe unless it found its own renewed spirituality. He said if that was the case, the spread would be marred with violence.

people with similar facial ratios are often touted as the archetypal specimen of stupidity. don't take it all personal-like, renny.
