Hello,

"Christianity, whose external, non-Western and non-Aryan aspects have
already been pointed out by us, is a maimed and truncated tradition
of the hieratic-sacerdotal type which has managed to prevail over a
tradition of the heroic type which predominated in the most ancient
Mediterranean and, in general, Aryo-Western world.

But Christianity achieved this supremacy only insofar it adapted many
forms peculiar to traditions different from it, especially that of
Rome. It was more Roman Catholicism than Christianity which won in
the West and, in its turn, Catholicism had its golden age in the
feudal, knightly and crusading Middle Ages ; and, until it decayed
into mere spurious forms, the active and conquering contribution
found expression in the proselytising, missionary and supremacist
instinct that Christianity displayed, from its beginnings to
Protestantism and Calvinism.

The tradition to which the event in Palestine gave birth has thus the
character of an ambiguous and almost contradictory thing. However, it
is precisely to this contradictoriness that Christianity owes its
force ; it has given to it, until lately, the means to control races
congenitally inspired by a warlike tradition, such as the Western
one, before their complete secularisation and terrestrialisation.
If Christianity is a counterfeiting of a tradition of a really
sacred, ascetico-metaphysical, Brahmanic type, the 'modern world',
which from one day to the next is undermining what remains of the
Western religion, represents in its turn, in many respects, a
teratological counterfeiting of a tradition of a warlike type".

Thus spoke E(vol)a, on 'Action, Contemplation and the Western
Tradition', one of the numerous essays published in the "Ur and Krur"
review at the end of the 20's and which were compiled and published
in the 50's under the name of 'Introduction to Magic as Science of
the Self'. The text, which does not appear in its English edition
('Introduction to Magic: Rituals and Practical Techniques for the
Magus'), can be found at http://thompkins_cariou.tripod.com
