Guenon and Hyperborea   Topic List   < Prev Topic  |  Next Topic >

Re: [evola_as_he_is] Re: Guenon and Hyperborea

Most of the idea of Guénon on the polar origin and the races/castes have been written under the name of 'Palingénius' in 'L'Archeomètre' on the magazine 'La Gnose', 1910-12, when he was very young. Differently from Evola, he thought oddly that before came the castes and only after the races, quoting also the four rivers of the terrestrial paradise as parallel. 
The quotation of Tilak about Hyperborea as Vedic Home is correct, naturally, and about the races, Guénon had strange ideas too, saying the Japanese are not exactly a yellow race ('Orient et Occident'), or writing something not nice about the Jewish influence but under the pseudonym of 'Sphynx' in "Réflections à propos du Pouvoir Occulte", La France antimaçonnique n.24-25, 1914. Growing old, he preferred to avoid these matters.
I too do not think that Evola has been influenced by Blawatsky or even Reghini...like I seem to remember also a R. Berkeley more loquacious than now suspected time ago, but anyway the juvenile experiences are only stages. Guénon wrote juvenile poems entitled 'Baal Zeboud, Samael, Litanies du Dieu Noir', etc...but nobody thinks he has been influenced by the Satanism.

Original Theosophy, Guenon and Evola all share the belief in the Hyperborean, polar origins of mankind and a subsequent solidification and devolution. The main...

Considering that both Evola and Guenon regarded Blavatsky as a dangerous fraud, surely neither one derived any of their beliefs from her. The idea of the polar...

As for Guénon's hypersensitiveness nothing could have been more rectified, than a good measure of the father's slipper, but apparently the father suffered the...

Gentlemen, I was only looking at this provocative issue last night regarding the hyperborean mythos. Guenon wrote a very good essay on the matter in "Symbols...

This matter has already been partly tackled on this list, as far as Evola is concerned. As early as 1928, in 'Critica del teosofismo', the third chapter...
