Re: [evola_as_he_is] Xmas, a (not too much) solsticial feast

We can assume Evola appreciated the Gnosticism because it was a Hellenistic translation (or even a preamble?) of the Christian message. In reality we know very little of the original Christianity.
By the way, even two Jewish authors, James Hillman and David Miller, noted that the myth of the dying and resurrecting God (as Jesus is) has always been typical of the polytheistic civilizations, and that it has been the first time that it appeared just in the most monotheistic and absolutistic environment (a typical upsetting of the Kali Yuga), adding that such a theology "in the name of God forgot the Gods", because "just through several divinities it's possible to ensure the return to the One".

I am unaware of any explicit statement of Evola's on Christianity or the figure of Jesus Christ from the post- Heathen Imperialism part of his writings, although I do remember several quotations from the gnostic gospels. Is anyone aware of a more explicit evaluation of the work of Jesus Christ, including any accompanying "esoteric" elements both in canonical and extra-canonical texts?

Even Evola, in 'Roma e il natale solare nella tradizione nordico-aria' (La Difesa della razza, 1940) made a little "lapsus calami" when he wrote that the 25...

Well, Julius Caesar must have had the same lapse, when he established December 25 as the date of the winter solstice in 46 BCE. Unfortunately, the date would...

Thanks for the contribution, Tony. Probably it's simply as you say, even if it seems that, before Aurelianus, and precisely under the emperor Licinio (308 -...

It seems that the difference between the solstice and the Natalis Solis Invicti has not to do with the calendar reformations, but as the emperor Julianus...

Obviously, by Julian's time the date for the Winter Solstice no longer fell on 25 December due to the inaccuracy in the Julian calendar. Do you have a reliable...
