About the author
A controversial philosopher and critic of modern Western civilization, Julius Evola (1898-1974) is considered one of the foremost authorities on the world’s esoteric traditions. He wrote widely on Eastern religions, alchemy, sexuality, politics, and mythology and published many books, including

Additional text
“Evola offers real information about initiatic traditions. The information he presents resonates credibly with my accumulated knowledge from other sources and from my personal experience. From Pythagoras, through Christian Mysticism, Hinduism, and Hermeticism, Evola spells out the roots of traditions that spawned currently-popular “New Age” practices. Essentially, he is telling readers how to elevate “astral” curiosity into spiritual growth that transcends the boundaries of the physical plane from generation to generation.”
