“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.
