In 'Revolt against the Modern world', Evola writes :
"The views of Bachofen, which are valid on many points from a traditional standpoint, are to be
rejected, or at least integrated, when, taking as reference the element which is linked to the
Earth and the mother and assuming it to be the original and most ancient element, they put forward
something like a spontaneous evolution from the inferior to the superior, whilst it is about forms
of crossing between the inferior (South) element and the superior (Hyperborean) element".
Therefore, as far as the Golden Age and pre-Aryan cults are concerned, contrary to what Bachofen
and, following on his footsteps, the Jungian school believed, Evola did not think that patriarchal
law and Apollinian consciousness developed directly from a primordial matriarchy (a process which
may have occurred during the Age of Bronze), but rather that solar and lunar civilisations met and
clashed, on a racial basis too.
There is something anti-traditional in thinking that consciousness is born of the 'ocean' of the
unconscious, just as it is anti-traditional to think, as does evolutionism in its most modern
developments, that humans 'come from the sea'. Once again the superior cannot come from the
inferior.
By the way, in 'Il mito del sangue' , XIII, Evola also writes : "The theory of race, or racism...
has to be understood as a 'myth'".

So, even considering Aryanism as a 'myth', as is assumed by a former
member of this forum, one should bear in mind that a myth is not just a vision, but a reflection
of a metaphysical principle as histories in which gods are apparently acting like mankind; myths
are at work and will be at work forever.
