He's terrible at antrophology

he's trying to pull paganism into the currentYear, rather sucessfully imo

He misses things by margins of thousands of years

oops

I'm sort of a pagan too, but I'm realistic about paganism as well in a way

how so?

Well, Paganism isn't a substitute to faith

It can't possibly be

my faith is nature and consciousness. isn't that a pagan faith?

yes

hail paganism

Neo-Paganism is both folkish and racial

Obviously all European Pagan religions are one and the same, with varying degrees of methaphysical sophistication (we need that guy now)

Somewhere there are some of these texts in ebook form

Yeah Evola had point, but Evola is traditionalist

Sadly English only

i don't entirely agree with the characterization of "imprisonment in Nature"

for them, transcendence is real as a starting point

Is traditionalism bad?

i think "Nature" *is* transcendental

No, I consider myself a Traditionalist

ultimately it is a direct connection with the basic layer of existence

Recent writings on religion: http://www.amerika.org/science/evidence-versus-logical-fact/

the thing the Upanishads hint at

Nature is the logical system, like your operating system

But then the operating system has unexpected behaviors

Programs can run on it

Their actions are not always anticipated

I won't argue against Evola's point, I come to it in a way when i say I don't consider possible a Neo-Paganism as a faith
