Wrong, you're just too stupid to understand his book, which is why you can't answer my questions, because you don't actually know what Hermeticism is.

Rene Guenon is more raw and likely more interesting for you then, he was Evola's spiritual and philosophical inspiration, though he was different from him.

It's always telling to me that Evolafags suck Guenon's cock but Guenonfags really couldn't give any less of a shit about Evola.

The Hermetic Tradition is a fine book but lacks a lot of stuff, for example it doesn't mention the 7 and the 12 step processes, and is a bit confusing with it's terminology, when i started to read it for example Evola's Spirit and Soul are reversed, Thomas Aquinas' Soul is the one that contains the Ruach and Nepesh (Evola's Mercury and the Mercury with Aries above it's 'O') instead of Evola's system where Spirit has it.
It also seems to claim that the Planets can be found in water? When usually they are made of aether. It's better to read it when you are experienced so it's easy to contemplate on it and solve those issues by yourself but when you read it as a bigger it might do some harm.

You remind me of that guy who was here a few months ago who just jizzed all over the UR Group books lol


I stilo feel like Guenon is self contradictory, i really don't see what he finds lacking in Christianity.
And yeah fans of evola and fans of Guenon are two different groups, Guenon wasn't into magic and didn't really have many interests in common with Evola.
The Hermetic Tradition mentions in the beginning that Guenon wasn't into Evola's idea that Alchemy presented a fully fleshed out metaphysical system that started in late antiquity, moved to the islamic world and then reached western europe.

>the 7 and the 12 step processes
What are these?

You know the 3/4 step process of Nigreso, Albedo, Cintrinas (kinda) and Rubedo? Well they have a few expanded variants, one with 7 steps (planets) and one with 12 (zodiac signs)
I heard of them from Pat Zalewski's Inner Order Teachings of the Golden Dawm book.
