This book should be the starting point to Evola. Fate is in your favor. This book deals with an annalysis of the many version of the myth of the holy grail. It deconstructs it through comparative annalysis and the traditionalist method. The main point of the book is how this myth and its symbolisms should be interpreted and how it relates to esoteric christian movements. This book deals with themes that underlie many of his best works.
Reminder 1: Evola's beliefs about what constitutes the Tradition should be viewed as the result of his comparative annalysis of myths and symbolisms.
Reminder 2: I prefer Guenon. His views of the personality that characterizes the golden age being the sacerdotal instead of the warrior(evolas conception) are one of the reasons. The second reason is that Evola lived a very degenerate life, while Guenon was respected by those that knew him and treated them with equal respect.

This book is however very hard to read as he is contantly citing othet works. He makes more than 50 citations per chapter, that range from direct citations, commentaries, etymological questione and even a dialogue with his other works and thw works of Guenon.

I’d suggest starting with “The Mask and Face of Contemporary Spirituality” or “The Hermetic Tradition”.

Evola may be labeled as “right wing” and have a book entitled “handbook for right wing youth”, but viewing him with that mindset won’t get you far in learning mysticism from him. View Evola as the polar opposite of equality; one who believes in the hierarchy human soul.

You might feel meme'd on if you just dive into him without any preparation, as his writing is often very dense and cryptic. Maybe I'm just a brainlet though. Read Guenon first.

For the right reader, Evola will illicit a strong emotional reaction against mainstream society and the culture at large. This is intended to raise a persons consciousness above the primal level often observed and even encouraged in society. Evola writes for those who truly want to ascend humanity.

Nietzsche is not an 'antireactionary', his view of morality attempts to transcend revolutionary or reactionary dogmas. The quote there is very clearly shitting on the progressive or left wing desire for equality, that doesn't make him right wing, but it is still shitting on them.

Can someone explain to me Evola's book on magic? It seems very disorganized at least in ebook format and all over the place. Additionally, there is a new printing of it in two volumes as opposed to the old one that's on the chart. Which one do I get? I seems the new printing lines up with the old one in terms of the first volume, but I have no idea what the second volume has and if it's worth reading.

[Anonymous No.13225967]

>>13225639
It's a collection of magazine articles by Evola's UR Group thus the lack of clear organizatin. The second volume was only recently translated. The third is untranslated still. They are all worthwhile albeit esoteric.

Is this even worth reading? Evola himself says that magic in most cases is non-essential and just an instrument of the lower castes. I started reading some other book on magic by Elphias Levi and was extremely underwhelmed by the anti-traditional leanings of the book. Is Evola any different?

What's the best one for his non-metaphysical critiques of modern society? Something like his sections on Jazz and drugs in Ride the Tiger.

[Anonymous No.13228698]

>>13228545
For Evola, it's hard to find critiques without there being any metaphysical or surpahistorical assumptions baked in. The Recognitions, and The Bow and the Club are probably the best two books you will find with essays that are critiques of modern society, but there are still metaphysical essays peppered in as well. 'Negrified America' and 'The Tarantula's Bite' are pretty good.
