AGR Book Reviews | On Being A Pagan by Alan de Benoist
We are reviewing Alan De Benoist's seminal work: On Being A Pagan. Benoist, a member of the "deplorables" of the New Right, was at once a man of great insight to the core metaphysics of the two great religious traditions of the West: The Christian and the Pagan.
Many of those who read poetry today, are considered to be somewhat "romantic", But this was simply not the case for the most hardened and effective soldiers that the ancient world would ever produce: The Spartans

Let's discover the connection between lsd and the Eleusinian Mysteries:
There was a road in ancient Athens that led to Eleusis, where the famous and sacred Eleusinian mysteries of the Greek world took place. So begins our journey to rediscover Ancient Greece through this first episode of the Ancient Greece Revisited series.
For the centuries following their eventual end, the Mysteries of Eleusis managed to remain what they always were ... a mystery. Until, that is, a Swiss chemist experimenting with the medicinal properties of the "ergot" fungus, stumbled upon a compound destined to change the world ... LSD. After ingesting a minute quantity of his new substance by mistake, and experiencing its miraculous effects in the first recorded "trip", Albert Hofmann went on a quest to find his "child's" distant relatives, until, like the goddess Demetra who founded the Eleusinian mysteries ... he reached ... Eleusis.

Thanasis Kleopas plays on his lyre and sings a Hymne to the Muse Calliope.
Calliope is the Muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry; so called from the ecstatic harmony of her voice.

It has become a "controversial topic" to ask: "What is the West" today, and most push their answer to certain extremes as a mere reaction. On one side, we have the adamant bravery and self-sacrifice, that was best displayed in the 300 Spartans who fought against the Asian invaders of Persia. On the other: the liberal culture of the European Enlightenment, as displayed in the great comedy writers like Voltaire, but just as often... bending and soft, unable to pose a fair resistance to less-than-tolerant cultures. But what if the West is even better displayed in the life of a warrior-poet, who held both sides in his hands and verses, and showed the world what the West truly is ..!

The adventure of Jason and the Argonauts in four parts:
Part 2
Following where we left off, Jason and the Argonauts are in the warm embraces of the women of Lemnos, who, in a fit of jealous rage had previously killed their treacherous husbands... only to discover loneliness. For Joseph Campbell, our guide on this Hero's Journey, this point is one of the most crucial, because while the worst parts of the adventure are yet to come, he observed how most of us are not only content but proud to stay within the confines of our culture, symbolised by Lemnos, an island paradise for the weary sailors on board the Argo. But heroes are not your everyday man. And Jason, the leader of the Argonautic Expedition, is not one to be seduced by homely comforts...

Why has the Right has lost the battle of ideas? Our guest, Romain d'Aspremont, writer of "The Promethean Right" will take us on a journey from early Christianity to late post modernity in validation of his answer: that except from Italian Fascism, the Right has utterly failed in providing a positive vision of the future.
