National-Bolshevism (Evola and Russian Traditionalism)


It remains to see whether or not the respective definition of
the 'left-hand path' and of the 'right-hand path' you refer to, and
which is closely akin to that of Western occultists, corresponds to
Evola's. For now, we limit ourselves to quote Evola, who, in 'Il
Cammino del cinabro', after having recalled that 'Lo Yoga della
potenza' ('The Yoga of Power') dealt with the 'wet path', that is to
say, the "assertion, the assumption, the use and the transformation
of immanent freed forces up to the awakening of the Shakti as
fundamental root of any vital energy and especially of sex", pointed
out that "'La Dottrina del risveglio' ('The doctrine of Awakening')
is about the 'dry path', that is to say, the 'intellectual' one, of
pure detachment'. Twenty years before, he made the same point in the
last chapter of 'La Dottrina del risveglio'.

In this book, everything shows that, to Evola, the 'right-hand' path
is that which is the most suitable for ascetics, while, in 'Lo Yoga
della potenza', the 'left-hand' path is considered to be of
a 'dionysian' nature. Please note that he referred the 'right-hand
path', not to the 'wet path', but to the 'dry path'.

This being said, this matter is complex.
