Finding Freedom through Shirley Collins’ Folk Music

Sebastian Morello April 9, 2023

The gifts Shirley Collins has given to us by her guardianship of England’s old folk songs should also be seen as an invitation to all peoples to recover their own folk music traditions.

Introducing the Iliade Institute: An Interview with Walter Aubrig

Hélène de Lauzun April 7, 2023

The best weapon for dealing with decline is integration into a community that offers an alternative to the artificiality and isolation that are increasingly affecting younger generations.

The Philosophy of Toxophily, Part I: Archery as civilisation

Sebastian Morello March 20, 2023

Archery takes that great inheritance of which we’ve been robbed and retrieves it in distilled and concentrated form.

We Need to Keep Calling Ourselves Conservatives

Sebastian Morello October 27, 2022

Names are important, and the name ‘conservative’ is important if we are not to forget who we are and what we strive for. Conservatives are not merely reactionaries. We affirm something. We affirm our civilisation and we want to conserve it.

Common Culture and Identity: On Surviving as a People

Sebastian Morello July 8, 2022

One of the terrible features of modernity is that we measure everything by the criteria of productivity and success. But we were not made to be productive, nor to be successful, at least not as our world understands such terms. We were made to flourish.

War in Europe: The Need for a Moral Rearmament

Jaime Mayor Oreja April 21, 2022

It is not possible for Europe to continue its transition into nothingness and decadence. We will not be able to meet the challenges—which are already violent today—if it remains ensconced in comfort, lies, a war on effort and excellence, gender madness, and the culture of death.

Martial Arts and the Heart of Civilisation

Karl Gustel Wärnberg April 9, 2022

The dawn of Western civilisation carried a strong focus on martial arts. In a world where war often lurked around the corner, it was paramount that one should be able to defend oneself. In our times, war again haunts our continent. It may be time to rediscover our martial roots.

A Choice for Europe: Between Beauty and Bigotry

Ed Husain January 25, 2022

In my country of Great Britain, I am worried by those Muslims who use the country’s liberties and laws to undermine our civilisation and heritage. I went on a journey across the country to understand modern British Muslim culture, but I kept one eye on the history of Islamic civilisation, too.

Give Us Back Our Lady!

Hélène de Lauzun December 5, 2021

The terrible incident of the Notre Dame fire should have been the occasion to renovate a church so damaged by the ravages of time, to make it even more beautiful. Instead, the sorcerer’s apprentices in charge of its destiny have preferred to indulge in their dreams of experimentation, as if a centuries-old cathedral were a creative laboratory subsidized by the Ministry of Culture.

On Believing Conspiracy Theories

Sebastian Morello November 22, 2021

We are, then, in a rather odd situation. It seems that conspiracies are deemed believable when they arise in fiction. It also seems that conspiracies are thought to have really happened, and are considered an essential component in even a superficial understanding of history. But anyone who suggests that we may be in the grips of a conspiracy now is a ‘conspiracy theorist,’ a pejorative term that denotes a person who does not assent to all he is told by mainstream media outlets.
