We thought that some of the documents we have published, of which
that on the so-called 'liaisons dangereuses de Julius Evola', allow
the reader to understand why the Ur-group was not and could not be as
homogeneous as someone who is not really familiar with the writings
of that temporary and relatively contingent association of authors,
that is, with the whole of the writings, may expect. In addition to
this, it should be stressed that many criticisms to the theosophist
collaborators of Ur can be found in the various 'commentaries', and
that most of those 'commentaries' happen to have been written by
Julius Evola. This should be stressed because most of
those 'commentaries' were not published in the American edition of
the writings of Ur and Krur. Actually, the more we think about it,
the more it becomes clear to us that that American edition doesn't do
justice to Evola and does not reflect well the spirit of the group,
or rather the spirit of the leadership of the group, a leadership
which, let's remind it to those who have forgotten it and let's tell
it to those who don't know it, Julius Evola took over only after a
few issues.
We also thought that our comments to those documents showed how
puerile and artificial it is to try to link Evola with Theosophy on
the mere grounds that he once collaborated to and then edited a
review to which some Theosophists also collaborated. Even though
there is no evidence whatsoever of any influence of Satanism on
Evola's work, a scholar has managed to produce, by hint of
insinuations and waffles based on purely conjectural preposterous
associations of ideas which betray in part a pathology which was
precisely examined in an essay in Ur, six pages on that subject. Who
knows, a PhD student on LSD could come up with a 800-page thesis on
it.
From 1925 to 1931, Evola collaborated to a paper founded by the
Baptist faculty of the Baptist Theological School of Rome,
namely 'Bylichnis', for which he wrote studies on the 'mystic of
blood in the new German nationalism, on 'purity' as a metaphysical
value and others, of which 'Scholasticism and the Spirit of
Modernity'. Does this make him a Christian? There is no trace of
theosophist or Christian influence in Evola's work. Full stop.
Once again, let's be serious, serious and aware that the vicissitudes
and the necessities of life sometimes lead to more or less unnatural
associations, temporary and superficial, which are not dictated by
elective affinities, but by contingencies.
