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

Re: The Polemicist and The Tale Teller

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 same obscure malady as his son,
which was probably added with a touch of parental molly-coddle. As
it stated in the Proverbs somewhere, "spare the rod and spoil the
child" and you're left with a milksop.

harsh polemic under the name of Sphinx that recently has been
resumed in a book of some kilogram of weight at 125 euros: 'L'énigme

Revue Internat. des Soc. Secretes, etc..

French metaphysician.

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...

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...
