IN THE FIRST Stephen Edred Flowers on "Integral Culture," Joscelyn Godwin on the Italian esotericist Julius Evola, French philosopher Alain de Benoist's interview with "new comparative mythologist" Georges Dumezil, Nigel Pennick on the "Spiritual Arts and Crafts," Steve Pollington on the Germanic war god Woden; Michael Moynihan on divine traces in the Nibelungenlied, Collin Cleary on the anti-modern television series "The Prisoner," Joshua Buckley's interview with Ian Read of the English heathen music group Fire + Ice, and much more.
Collection of essays from various authors that mostly have an anti globalist/mass culture and pro folk culture and euro pagan theme. Highlights for me were Markus Wolfs essay on German "volkish" writer Hermann Lons, along with the included bit of Lons writing, Anabel Lee's "Dark Side of the Mountain" article, Michael Moynihans "Divine Traces in the Nibelungenlied", Steve Pollingtons essay on Woden called "From Lore-Giver to Law-Giver" and Nigel Pennicks "On the Spiritual Arts and Crafts" which talks about the value and spiritual side of being able to make things with your hands. Lots of great stuff in this. There's a #1 on this so I assume and hope there are more of these in the works.
The essays here are thoughtful and well researched, providing a great introduction to the basic threads and concepts of Radical Traditionalism. I'm intrigued.
