In the Barbie sequel, Ken—the avatar simp of Western man’s collective unconscious—emerges into the physical realm to claim his birthright.
In the Christian narrative, all nature was placed under the jurisdiction of the devil following man’s fall from grace. The wilderness is not where the cathedral is found but likely where a hive of demons awaits.
The Albanian Democratic Party seeks to preserve our nation, the family, our cultural traditions, and religious diversity.
Camus rejects the idea that le grand remplacement is a conspiracy. It’s not a conspiracy; it’s an observation.
Instead of filling the void left by the loss of belief in truly extra-terrestrial beings—the angels and saints—with sci-fi inventions, we should strive to “re-enchant” the world with the content of Christian revelation.
If you want to understand the many-symptomed sickness that has overtaken modern culture, and begin finding our way to a cure, there is perhaps no better secular guide than Iain McGilchrist.
A historic Hungarian community on Ukraine’s western edge considers its future in times of war.
The men of Europe are suffering. Due to the lack of recognition of what male depression actually looks like, and the lack of male professionals equipped with the tools to help men, we should expect this suffering to continue unabated.
Witness the rise of the NPC: we take a look at a fresh example of how a terminally-online generation is being fed to the all-monetizing void of the Internet.
From the descriptions of Greek philosophy found in the research of both Pierre Hadot and Anton Dumitriu, we are confronted with a startling emphasis on the ‘practical,’ that is, the ‘experimental’ dimension of philosophy.
The powers-that-be dislike inherited forms, like the feminine woman and the masculine man, whose roles and relationships escape their control.
FROM THE SUMMER 2023 PRINT EDITION: We need to educate people to understand that the culture they have is a product of human history and choice, and to see that, beyond gratitude to their ancestors, they also have obligations to those who will come after them.
Christ alone can rescue His Church, but we have ousted Him in a diabolic effort to divorce Bride from Bridegroom. Perhaps the sacred magic of Hermes Trismegistus is what’s needed to banish the black magic of Enlightened man.
The bullfight will long continue to fascinate, as well as shock, upset, and mesmerise. Hemingway wrote, “Anything capable of arousing passion in its favour will surely raise as much passion against it.”
The spirit of modern Western man is like a faulty pressure cooker that’s going to explode, and every attempt to fix the problem pushes him further into false and malignant solutions of individualism, statism, transhumanism, and all the deceitful promises of the technological age.
“Some have questioned the importance of remembering our painful history. To those who believe that the youth should not be burdened with the past, let me say: a nation without memory is like a ship without a rudder and compass.”
It seems to me that the paradigm of rationalism—with all its chaotic relationships, ugly architecture, shallow sentimentalism, fetishization of abstractions, legal positivism, and blindness to persons—to which the institutional Church has conceded so much moral territory, must be overcome if we are to recover the primacy of the mystical in the life of the Church.
The advent of scientific ‘progress’ and the marginalisation of the farming world have given the illusion that we can do without them. Climate change has put things back in their proper place, and we are seeing the return of rogations and processions in our countries.
Never in human history has it been easier and cheaper to amass an enormous personal library of the greatest literature produced by our civilization (and others)—and never, perhaps, has it been more important to do so.
FROM THE SUMMER 2023 PRINT EDITION: In Europe, populists were permanently marginalised—or so it was claimed by hostile observers. However, since pandemic policies ended, unresolved problems have returned to the forefront of political debate, giving a boost to right-wing populist parties everywhere.
The message Monteverdi wants to deliver is clear: “I master all techniques and styles, from the most learned ‘stile antico’ to the most modern styles.” Not surprisingly, a contemporary described him as “the greatest composer in Italy.” As far as I am concerned, he could have added: “of all time.”
We must rediscover the principles that—in as many forms as there are Western nations—founded each of our countries and the West as a whole.
Women are facing many forms of reprisals—including censorship, loss of employment opportunities, loss of income, deplatforming, and threats of legal action—simply for daring to question the transgender movement.
Under Spain’s Democratic Memory Law, the Francoist nobility was collectively singled out for extirpation, and its heads of family found themselves officially ‘disennobled.’
Christ is the salvation for the shipwrecked. Clinging to Him will keep us afloat in a shipwrecked world. The order He brings gives the martyr the ability to lay down his life, the sorrowful to find hope, and the grieving to find peace that the world can never give.
The good news is, the Sarum Rite and ample commentaries on how to offer it remain in existence. It’s all there, waiting to be brought back to the Sceptred Isle once more.
By writing about my favorite Italian composers, placing the greatest Italian masterpieces in their historical context and listing the finest performances known to me, I hope to pass on the best of myself as a music scholar and concert organizer.
It is as if in this global chaos, a new era of empires is looming and small European nations with a strong sense of identity will have to reaffirm their unwavering commitment to freedom.
St. John’s Day, June 24th, is a high point of medicinal magic; the assembling and sealing of diverse ointments and oils, gels and gums, to be used throughout the year.
Dugin, far from being the champion of Christianity against modernity, in reality promises Satanic ‘divinization’ through acts of demonic evil.
