"The Hermetic Circle" is a juvenile work by a not yet politicized Serrano, but as far as I remember, C.G. Jung does not reveal unusual aspects in these conversations. The sentence of Evola, if authentic, sounds strange. Must we think that before he knew Jung mostly by hearsay? Impossible: he quoted the Jung's introduction to "Das Geheimnis der goldenen Blüte", "Psychologie und Alchemie", "Die Beziehungen zwischen dem Ich und dem Unbewussten" and the work with K. Kereny, "Einführung in das Wesen der Mythologie".

Coming back to 'Adolf Hitler : The Last Avatar', the following excerpt is worth quoting because of the reference it contains to a comment that was made by the Italian author to M. Serrano a few months before he died : "Evola was very anti-Jungian, being opposed to psychoanalysis which he considered to be Jewish. (A position with which I agree completely). As a letter of introduction I sent him from Vienna my book translated into German, "Meine Begegnungen mit C.G. Jung und Hermann Hesse," title that the Swiss publisher gave to "The Hermetic Circle." In it I refer, as is known, to my conversations with professor Jung and Hermann Hesse. Evola received me saying: "I read your book. In truth I am ignorant of those aspects of Jung you reveal." And he went on to recommend the magnificent Tantric work "The Metaphysics of Sex."
