Title: Opus Magicum: The Esoteric Power of Magical Chains
Tags: #Ritual #SpiritualWarfare #Tradition #Hierarchy #Initiation
1. Collective Fluid Force – A chain synthesizes individual powers into a greater, unified force, accessible to all participants through syntony, whether intentional or spontaneous.
2. Syntony & Ritual Law – Chains form via vibrational correspondence, adhering to traditional norms of timing, ritual, and symbolic alignment—even among unaware participants.
3. Astral Entity – The chain coagulates astral light into a psychic figure, tied to its tradition’s symbols. Outsiders invoking its forms may trigger inexplicable phenomena.
4. Hierarchy & Leader – The chain’s force is centralized under a Leader, with spiritual worth determining rank. Superiority is innate, acquired, or conferred—never democratic.
5. Recognition of Rank – True hierarchy demands conscious submission to superiors and authority over inferiors. Contamination by egalitarian motives voids legitimacy.
6. Transmission & Tradition – A chain’s power persists beyond physical interruption, residing latently in symbols and rituals, reactivated by rightful successors.
7. Geometric Formations – Triangles (3) or circles (odd total) orient eastward, with the highest at the vertex/center. Women alternate with men; motion and direction follow strict codes.
8. Double/Triple Circles – Layered circles (male/female, inward/outward faces, opposing motions) amplify vibrational complexity for advanced operations.
9. Triple Vibration – Physical, astral, and spiritual planes synchronize via identical rites, symbols, and rhythmic invocations, evoking and intensifying fluid sympathy.
10. Purpose & Ignification – Chains serve illumination, initiation, or practical ends. Some employ violence or orgiastic rites to transmute astral light—mirroring solo ascetic techniques.
"The chain is the weapon of the invisible war."
Opus Magicum: Chains
The aim of magical chains is to harness a collective fluid force, surpassing the individual power of each link, accessible to every participant.
A chain arises through the "syntony" of its elements—whether by identity or correspondence—governed by the law of numbers, inner disposition, or shared ritual practice. Participants may operate together or apart, even unknowingly, provided the prescribed timing and rites are strictly followed. A chain may be deliberately formed through ceremonial means, with its purpose and ritual defined according to tradition. Yet, spontaneous chains can also emerge, drawing in individuals unconsciously, bound by a resonance of subtle vibrations that transcend time and space.
The collective force of a chain crystallizes into an astral entity, shaped by the symbols and formulas of its tradition. Merely performing traditional gestures or invocations—even by an outsider—can trigger inexplicable phenomena: illuminations, apparitions, or realizations.
In a consciously forged chain, the collective fluid force is hierarchically ordered, with the Leader at its apex. Spiritual hierarchy follows natural law: the most worthy ascend, while the merely strong remain below. "Dignity" may be innate, acquired, or conferred through consecration.
Hierarchical recognition is a conscious act—free from common opinion—whereby one acknowledges superiors and inferiors. If discernment falters, the Leader imposes order. The Head may transfer his power or yield it to a greater being. The chain’s leadership is ultimately tied to the highest spiritual hierarchy.
A chain enduring across generations embodies a living tradition. Its power persists even if transmission is interrupted, remaining latent until reactivated by those who resume its rites with rightful intent.
Forming the Chain
When multiple individuals operate together, the chain manifests under these conditions:
- Three participants form a triangle, the highest at the vertex, facing east.
- More than three form a circle, the highest at the center (or with two chosen assistants), also oriented eastward.
- The total number must be odd; surrounding operators must be even.
Variations in Formation:
- Participants may join hands or avoid contact.
- They may face inward, outward, or alternate.
- Movement may be static, circular (clockwise or counterclockwise), or rhythmically shifting as directed.
Double and Triple Circles:
- Outer/inner circles may segregate sexes.
- Directions may alternate (one circle facing in, the other out).
- Movements may synchronize or oppose.
Vibration and Syntony:
The chain’s energy operates across three planes—physical, astral, and spiritual—unified through identical ritual regimen, shared symbols, and synchronized invocations (spoken or sung). The collective vibration intensifies through sympathy.
Purposes of the Chain
- Illumination (collective or individual).
- Practical realizations.
- Initiation, where the Leader induces higher states via the chain’s power.
- Astral Ignification—transmuting forces through violent (e.g., flagellation) or orgiastic means, mirroring solitary practices.

The Initiatic Tradition in the West
The second point of contention concerns the supposed Christian character of Western tradition—specifically, the assumption that any legitimate initiatic tradition in the West must be Christian.
Such claims rest on implicit presuppositions:
1. That the West was fully and authentically Christianized.
2. That Christianity preserved the sacred tradition intact, with a priesthood capable of true spiritual understanding.
3. That Christianization eradicated all pagan remnants, severing any continuity with pre-Christian mysteries.
4. That the West remained impervious to non-Christian influences after the rise of Christianity.
The argument we oppose has both a negative and a positive aspect: it denies the existence of any non-Christian initiatic tradition in the modern West while affirming an esoteric Christian one. However, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence—especially in matters of esotericism, which by nature remain hidden.
A Christian initiatic tradition, if it existed, could operate openly, consistent with Christianity’s missionary ethos. A pagan tradition, however, would face hostility, necessitating secrecy. The Church’s enduring hatred of paganism—evident in sectarian polemics—proves that paganism was never fully extinguished. This hostility alone would justify a pagan tradition’s concealment.
Historical evidence confirms the existence of pagan initiatic centers (e.g., around Apollonius, Plotinus, Maximus, Julian) in the late Roman era. After Christianity’s triumph, pagan initiates likely pursued one of two paths:
1. Withdrawal into deeper secrecy—akin to Eastern initiatic centers facing Western encroachment.
2. Infiltration of the Church—preserving esoteric elements under Christian guise.
Their primary duty was to ensure the tradition’s survival—keeping its knowledge pure, its understanding intact, and its center alive, even if hidden.
To the profane mind, the idea of a pagan initiatic lineage surviving fifteen centuries in secrecy may seem absurd. Yet for those aware of initiatic methods, such continuity—even under extreme adversity—is entirely plausible.
The question cannot be settled by historical analysis alone. External traces may suggest its likelihood, but only direct experience can confirm its reality.
“Christians, after a lifetime of submission, guilt, and rejection of the natural order, they are granted an eternal reward—childlike devotion in an illusory beyond.”
Me:
Chthonic cults (from the Greek χθόνιος—"of the earth") were religious practices centered on deities and spirits associated with the underworld, the earth, fertility, and the dead. As a warrior for the true spirit of the Earth, you recognize these ghouls for what they are.
"Christianity, however, will endure."
Me:
Christianity—a chthonic cult of guilt and submission—perverts the natural order, promising its adherents an eternal infancy in a false paradise. Yet it persists, like all subterranean forces, its ghouls forever bound to the earth, resurrected as priests of an underworld creed.

Washington, D.C. (Symbolic Esoteric Interpretation)
While D.C. is the political center, from a Hermetic-Evolian perspective, its Masonic and occult-inspired architecture (e.g., the Washington Monument, Capitol building, street layouts mirroring esoteric symbols) could be seen as a degraded modern echo of sacred geography.
Evola might critique it as a "counter-traditional" parody of true sacred kingship, given its democratic and materialist foundations.
Metaphysical part:
### The Two Paths in the Afterlife
Traditional teachings distinguish between two possible destinies after death: one leading to true immortality, the other to dissolution into ancestral forces. Unlike the modern belief in universal soul-immortality, Tradition recognizes a hierarchy in postmortem existence, corresponding to the spiritual stature of the individual.
#### The Naturalistic Order: Dissolution into the Totem
For ordinary men, death brings the disintegration of the ephemeral personality, leaving only a "shadow" destined for eventual dissolution—the "second death." The vital principles return to the ancestral manes, lares, or totem—the subpersonal, chthonic force behind a bloodline. This force, often symbolized by the serpent or the genius (generative power), binds individuals to the cyclical rebirth of their stock.
In this inferior path, the deceased become sustenance for the manes, perpetuating the natural order rather than transcending it. Greek myths (the Danaïdes, Ocnus) and Vedic symbolism (the lunar, ancestral path) illustrate the futility of this existence—a meaningless repetition of mortal life.
#### The Heroic Path: Olympian Immortality
A higher destiny awaits those who conquer death through spiritual transformation. The "heroes," demigods, and sacred kings achieve an incorruptible body (sahu, "body of glory"), escaping dissolution. This immortal body, forged through sacrificial rites, embodies transcendent power, uniting soul and form in divine permanence.
This "solar path" (deva-yāna) leads to the Olympian realm—Valhalla, the "House of the Sun," or the Vedic "door of the sun." Unlike the chthonic fate of Hades, it represents triumphant immortality, symbolized by crowns, myrtle, and the Roman dies natalis (birth into divinity).
#### The Ritual Struggle Against the Infernal
Traditional civilizations upheld rites that liberated men from subjugation to ancestral forces. The aristocratic cults—opposed to telluric, lunar worship—oriented the soul toward supernatural victory, breaking the cycle of rebirth. Neglect of these rites meant regression into the "way of the Mother," binding man to the infernal and the collective.
The sacred fire, central to Indo-European cremation rites, symbolized this transformative power—consuming mortal remains to awaken the "fulgurating form" of the immortal. Thus, true Tradition preserves the heroic imperative: to dominate the totemic forces and ascend to the divine.

Title: Reclaiming the Divine Self: A Path to Liberation
Tags: #Evola #Traditionalism #SpiritualDevelopment #SelfRealization #Esotericism
1. Reject the Illusory Self: The first step on the Way is to discard the limited, habitual self-image. True self-awareness transcends space, time, and power, aligning with the inner imagination of the "I."
2. Reclaim Inner Reality: Modern man diminishes himself, trapped in self-imposed limitations. He must awaken to his true nature, shedding the chains of thought and action that confine him to a lesser existence.
3. Transcend the Medusan Gaze: Man petrifies the world around him, reducing nature to laws and hypotheses. He must break free from this reductive view and restore the living, dynamic essence of the universe.
4. Man as Cosmic Center: The human being is the axis of the universe. A shift in his consciousness holds more weight than the material cosmos. His body’s limits are illusory; his essence extends into the cosmic expanse.
5. Liberate the Petrified World: Man must free his surroundings from their frozen state, recognizing the conscious energies within earth, water, air, and fire. These forces are extensions of his own divine substance.
6. Embrace the Mystery: Beyond beauty, man must intuit the hidden reality of things. The unknown must be affirmed and felt, for it is the source of true power and creativity.
7. Rhythmic Contemplation: Spiritual development requires a rhythmic, periodic engagement with esoteric concepts. These must be felt, not just understood, to penetrate the subconscious and transform the self.
8. Cultivate Greatness and Power: Contemplation of one’s being and the world generates a sense of grandeur. This feeling must be retained and internalized, becoming a force that liberates and elevates.
9. Integration of Vision: The new vision of reality must flow into the subconscious, gradually becoming a lived experience. What begins as a concept evolves into a palpable force, marking the dawn of liberation.
10. Break the Shell of Limitation: Daily life forms a restrictive shell around the individual. To progress, this barrier must be shattered, allowing the new, liberated self to emerge and build a life aligned with the divine.
The first step for a man seeking the Way is to reject the habitual image he holds of himself. He can only begin to say "I" when this word aligns with the inner vision of self-awareness, free from the constraints of space, time, or power.
Man must reclaim the sense of his true reality. Currently, he diminishes himself, feeling smaller and more limited than he truly is. Every thought and action adds another bar to his prison, another veil over his vision, and another denial of his power. He confines himself to the limits of his body and binds himself to the earth, like an eagle choosing to crawl as a snake, ignoring its wings.
Man not only ignores and distorts himself but also reenacts the myth of Medusa, turning everything around him into stone. He measures nature with weights and rules, reducing life to petty laws and explaining mysteries with trivial hypotheses. He freezes the universe into a static unity, placing himself timidly at its periphery, as if he were an insignificant accident, devoid of power or hope.
Yet, man is the center of the universe. The vast material masses of the cosmos pale in significance compared to the slightest shift in his consciousness. The limits of his body are an illusion; he does not merely rest on the earth but extends through it into cosmic space. When he moves his thoughts or actions, the world moves with him; countless forces converge in a creative gesture, and his daily acts are but faint echoes of the divine energy flowing toward him.
Thus, he must free his surroundings from their petrification. Before understanding, he must imagine conscious energies in the earth, water, air, and fire, recognizing that natural forces are extensions of his own substance. It is not the earth that gives life to the plant, but the forces within the plant that draw life from the earth. Beyond the beauty of things, he must sense their mystery—an obscure yet intuited reality. The unknown must be boldly affirmed and felt in its full power.
A special attitude is essential for this perspective, as with any esoteric path. What matters is to initiate a rhythm: presenting a concept periodically and rhythmically to consciousness, so it is grasped not just as a thought but as a feeling. Contemplating one’s being and the world in this way generates a sense of greatness and power, which must be retained and deeply internalized.
Through this, a relationship of realization with this new vision will form, first flowing into the subconscious and then gradually integrating into feeling. A new condition will emerge: what was once a mere concept will become the presence of a force, leading to a state of liberation upon which a new life can be built.
All inner development exercises will fail unless one breaks the shell of limitation formed by daily life, which persists in the subconscious even after a shift in perspective.
Metaphysical part:
According to the alchemical Taoism, the condition for immortality is the actual construction of a subtle form to replace the gross body, achieved through a process of sublimation that returns the body to its "ethereal" state, the source from which all things emanate. This involves extracting and concentrating the immortal and nonhuman elements that form the foundation of ordinary life. In this tradition, as in Western Hermeticism, which similarly opposes mystical tendencies, immortality is tied to the concept of "condensation" or "coagulation." It is not a matter of simply turning a light on or off but rather a return of the self to a state of individualization.
It is worth emphasizing the positive aspect of physical regeneration in these traditions. A modern Hindu alchemist, Narayāna-Swami, articulates this clearly, noting that the same teachings often underlie the symbols of ancient Western Hermetic literature. He describes the life force that, phase by phase, evolves the physical and psychic organization of man, much like a plant growing from a seed. This power, once fully developed, underlies every function and pattern of the organism. The goal of Hindu alchemy is to infuse consciousness into this vital force, integrating it fully, and then to retrace and reawaken all phases of development, achieving a creative connection with the completed form of one’s body. This regenerated state allows the individual to directly engage with the innermost source of corporeal life—the force behind the heartbeat, breath, and higher physiological functions.
When this transmutation is complete, it signifies a shift from mere physical transformation to a change in functional essence. The regenerated individual’s relationship with their body is fundamentally altered, marking a new existential condition. As Jacob Boehme suggests, when the ego is merely attached to the body, it is as if the body generates and shapes the ego, which then rises and falls with the organism. However, when the center of the body is rooted in the life force—the generative and sustaining power behind the body—the dynamic changes entirely. This life force transcends the body it animates, capable of moving from one form to another like a flame jumping between logs. Those dominated by this force, which exists beyond ordinary consciousness, remain largely unaffected by bodily dissolution or death. Death does not touch them, just as the capacity for speech is not lost when words are left unspoken or interrupted, remaining ever-present and ready to be expressed.
Civilizational declines occur when the spiritual collapses and is supplanted by the material. This reflects the involution from higher, transcendent principles to lower, degenerate forms—a hallmark of the Kali Yuga. True civilization rests upon the sacred, the hierarchical, and the eternal, not the profane and ephemeral. When the spiritual axis is abandoned, the inevitable descent into chaos and materialism follows. Only a return to Tradition—rooted in the supra-rational and the aristocratic—can reverse this decay.
Metaphysical part:
In the traditional caste system, particularly within the Hindu varna framework, the human body serves as a sacred symbol of hierarchical order—reflecting the natural and spiritual stratification of society. This concept originates from ancient Hindu scriptures (e.g., the Purusha Sukta of the Rigveda), where the cosmic being (Purusha) manifests the four primary castes, each corresponding to a distinct bodily function:
1. Brahmins (Priests/Sages) – Head/Mouth
- The highest caste, embodying intellect and sacred knowledge, governs spiritual and metaphysical wisdom.
2. Kshatriyas (Warriors/Rulers) – Arms
- The martial elite, representing strength and authority, upholds order and sovereignty.
3. Vaishyas (Merchants/Cultivators) – Thighs/Stomach
- The productive class, sustaining society through commerce and agriculture.
4. Shudras (Laborers) – Feet
- The foundational caste, supporting the organic whole through service and manual labor.
### Key Principles:
- Hierarchy as Divine Order: The body metaphor affirms the sacred and immutable nature of caste roles.
- Exclusion of the Outcaste: Those outside the varna system (e.g., Dalits) exist beyond this organic structure, reflecting a necessary separation.
- Interdependence with Inequality: Each caste has a fixed, unequal yet complementary role—rejecting egalitarian dissolution.
This framework aligns with the perennial view of society as an organism, where true justice lies in fulfilling one’s ordained duty (dharma) within an asymmetrical but harmonious whole.
HOW ROME'S RICH MERCHANTS DESTROYED THE REPUBLIC
The Rise of the Equites: The Merchant-Class Usurpation
For Julius Evola, the ascent of the Equestrian Order (Equites) in the Roman Republic symbolized a critical stage in the degeneration of traditional hierarchy—a shift from sacred aristocratic rule to plutocratic materialism.
1. Who Were the Equites?
Originally a cavalry class of wealthy landowners, the Equites evolved into a commercial and financial elite separate from the patrician aristocracy.
- Economic Role: Tax collectors (publicani), bankers, merchants, and provincial businessmen.
- Political Role: Gained influence through wealth rather than noble birth or sacred duty.
For Evola, this marked the intrusion of bourgeois values into Rome’s warrior-aristocratic order.
2. The Equites as a Corrupting Force
#### (A) The Erosion of the Patrician-Senatorial Elite
- The Equites were not bound by tradition—they prioritized profit over mos maiorum (ancestral customs).
- Unlike patricians, who (in Evola’s idealized view) ruled with a sacred duty, the Equites were mercenary, exploiting Rome’s expansion for personal gain.
#### (B) The Triumph of Mercantile Over Martial Values
- Early Rome’s strength lay in its warrior ethos (e.g., Cincinnatus, the farmer-general).
- The Equites introduced finance and speculation, turning conquest into a business venture (e.g., tax farming in the provinces).
#### (C) The Equites and the Death of the Republic
- Alliance with Demagogues: The Equites often backed Populares (like Caesar) against the Senate, accelerating the Republic’s collapse.
- Moral Decay: Their wealth fueled corruption (e.g., bribery, luxury) and eroded Roman virtue.
Evola saw this as part of a broader metaphysical decline—the replacement of qualitative hierarchy (patricians) with quantitative wealth (Equites).
3. Parallels to Modernity
Evola drew direct links between Rome’s Equites and modern bourgeois capitalism:
- Capitalism = The Equites’ Triumph – A world ruled by merchants, not warriors or priests.
- Democracy as Plutocracy – Just as the Equites manipulated the Republic, modern elites control democracies through finance.
- Spiritual Bankruptcy – The Equites lacked the sacred legitimacy of kings or patricians, just as modern rulers lack traditional authority.
4. Was There a Solution? Evola’s Reactionary Ideal
Evola believed the only antidote to such decay was:
- A return to aristocratic rule (rejecting both mob democracy and merchant oligarchy).
- A new elite embodying warrior and priestly virtues (as in early Rome or the feudal orders).
- Caesarism as a Temporary Fix – Augustus curbed the Equites’ power, but Evola saw even the Empire as a compromise with decay.
Conclusion: The Equites as Harbingers of Modern Decadence
For Evola, the rise of the Equites was not progress, but decline—proof that when money replaces blood and tradition, civilization rots from within. His critique mirrors his disdain for liberal capitalism and democracy in the modern world.
The mobile obeys the immobile.
