Julius Evola and the Sacred Verticality of Life

Julius Evola remains one of the most daring and controversial Traditionalist thinkers of the 20th century. His philosophical and esoteric vision of vertical ascent—the metaphysical struggle against dissolution and the recovery of inner sovereignty—finds strong echoes in my own work. In The Solar Warrior trilogy and Operative Traditions, I explore many of the same terrains: the crisis of modernity, the meaning of sacred order, and the call to overcome mechanized life through inner transmutation.
However, while Evola often cast his gaze backwards—toward ancient hierarchies and esoteric lineages—my work reorients the operative and transformative spirit toward the present and the future, integrating it with ecological awareness, embodied practice, and the technical realities of our time.
I openly distance myself from Evola’s political positions, focusing instead on the universal core of his metaphysical thought: the warrior who rises through ordeal, the act that becomes liturgy, the craft that becomes a mirror of cosmic order. My work channels this current into a form that can be practiced now, by individuals seeking meaning not in withdrawal or nostalgia, but in the act of regenerating matter, body, and earth itself as a spiritual path.

In Operative Traditions there are a total of 280references to Evola´s work, and in The Solar Warrior series there are 55 references.
