He was the most poop scented because of his time studying to be a Poopomancer in Pooplandistan.

Nah, he was just a meme, even durîng his lifetime. All the cool kids would name drop him to impress people, like pretending Jaxon Polack was a good artist in order that people thought you were somehow sophisticated because you liked his talentless daubs. Emperor's new clothes.

Surely he was. He refuted the inversion of true knowledge of modern "philosophy" and returned all those with inclination towards knowledge- the pneumatics- to the right path.

Pretty sure Guenon's popularity here predates Guenonfag, because Guenonfag seems pretty ignorant about his actual work in general, and is fixated around a certain piece. Purportedly, this is because he's illiterate /int/ shitposter.
If you ever took a World Religions class, a very popular textbook for it was written by a man named Huston Smith (The World's Religions).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huston_Smith#Religious_practice
>Smith developed an interest in the Traditionalist School formulated by René Guénon, Frithjof Schuon and Ananda Coomaraswamy.
You can see the thread of the traditionalist school in a lot of his work.
