Over the past several months, I've had the privilege of narrating the audiobook of Julius Evola's "The Mystery of the Grail", and I'm pleased to announce that it is now available on Audible and other major platforms. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the deeper symbolism of the Grail tradition. Evola goes beyond the typical examination of the myths and legends of the Grail as a literary curiosity, a flattened religious allegory, moral lessons, or psychological symbolism. Instead, he approaches the subject as the expression of a genuine initiatic tradition whose roots reach far beyond the Middle Ages. Whether one agrees with all of his conclusions or not, it...

On this day 128 years ago, Giulio Cesare Evola, who would go down in history as Baron Julius Evola, was born in the eternal city of Rome. Philosopher, warrior, esoteric scholar and practitioner, artist, critic of modernity, and visionary of a Sacred European Empire — the indomitable Julius Evola was, is, and will remain a special source for a new European Renaissance. Since 2009, Arktos has been carrying forth Evola’s torch by bringing English-language translations of Evola’s works to generations of readers. One culmination of this is the recent publication of the first ever biography of Evola: Julius Evola: An Adventurous Life by Andrea Scarabelli. Also fresh off the Arktos press is...

"The Soul of Chivalry" is being screened at the Hermetic Film Festival in Venice, but they also have online screenings. It's running for another 3 days and there are some really interesting films in this festival that you probably won't be able to see easily elsewhere. All of the films have some kind of spiritual or esoteric angle, so maybe worth checking out if you are interested in that kind of thing. https://www.hermeticfilmfestival.com/home

⚡️BEHOLD! I will talk with Philosophicat tomorrow about astrology. I will ask her to explain how astrology works (beginner friendly), and how we can use it in our cosmic struggle to save our civilisation. We will also discuss the recent transit where high-thumos Aries gains influence (this is something that I have been personally interested in – so I thought to ask the expert and share the conversation with other aspiring mystics and sensitive young men!). We will stream for 1-2 hours, with some time to respond to questions at the end. Tomorrow, Monday, March 2nd, 20:00 CET on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/oLgKADuFGpE

Bhagavad-gītā 2.3 is where Kṛṣṇa chastises Arjuna for his indecision and lamentation. Kṛṣṇa says: “kṣudraṁ hṛdaya-daurbalyam,” meaning that Arjuna has allowed petty weakness of heart to enter and ruin his resolve. This word, “kṣudraṁ,” is worth noting. It comes from Śūdra, one of the Vedic varṇas. The Śūdras are forbidden from studying the Vedas. The word means “one who laments.” So Śūdras are filled with petty lamentations. These petty lamentations come from being unable to indulge in sense gratification, and in their lamentations they turn to other sense indulgences. We see this in society — the alcoholic, the prostitute-chaser, the drug addict — they all have some basic lamentation grou...

Happy Yule and Merry Christmas from the PhilosophiCats!

This is such a great review from Arktos on “The Soul of Chivalry” that it makes me want to watch my own film again!
