This video delves into the philosophical and esoteric realms of Julius Evola, focusing on the concept of 'Deification' or 'Becoming God' as a central theme in his work. Evola's journey, marked by a quest to transcend human limitations, is explored through his engagement with magic, Tantrism, and concepts of salvation and spiritual development. The discussion also touches on the broader implications of studying controversial figures like Evola in academic discourse, emphasizing the importance of critical evaluation and open inquiry in understanding historical and philosophical contexts. The video concludes by acknowledging Evola's contributions to introducing Tantrism, Alchemy, and Zen Buddhism to Italian audiences, and his influence on intellectuals like Mircea Eliade and Carl Gustav Jung. This episode is a part of Angela's Symposium, supported by viewers and dedicated to sharing peer-reviewed academic knowledge on esoteric subjects.

Dr Puca is one of the few people on this platform I would trust to cover this material - thanks for doing it!
Thank you so much, Dr Sledge! I truly value your trust.
I agree. Plus, I need professional women who are speaking to me, a female. The male dominant conversations and patriarchal organizations of religions that FOREVER have decided, defined and killed women for being women. I just can't allow 49% of the population define me.
There are plenty of people who do justice to his material, they're just, uh, big fans as well lol. His take on alchemy must really rustle your jimmies though, all that spiritual alchemy hooey but dialed up to 11
@@theeccentrictripper3863 Sorry, but if you are 'staying Yellow', that's not being a fan. That's called Jaundice and you need to see a doctor.
@@Magus_Union I wouldn't say they're being yellow, assuming you're meaning cowardly, they're fairly straightforward with what they believe and like about him, even if they're quite tongue-in-cheek, they just have questionable dogma.
I appreciate your channel so much! I'm 72 and in my long life I never was exposed to the subjects you cover. I've always been interested in the esoteric but information was not readily available. Blessings to you and UA-cam.
You are so welcome!
🔥 That was fascinating! Your disclosure at the beginning was very eloquently done and sums up exactly how I feel on the subject!
I appreciate that!
🔥And, yes, I completely agree with you, Dr. Puca, that no subject is taboo if we're to have the tools we need to understand existence.
Evola is one of my favorite authors, glad to see him getting some recognition
Dr. Puca please do a video on Vril
🔥Your clarifying and exemplary Disclaimer statement much appreciated and very necessary in the current cultural/political situation. Thank you.
Dr. Angela Puca is the main reason I stay on youtube. I always look forward to her latest segment.
🔥 Professional and unbiased. Thank you very much!
It is such a gift to this world, how bold, brave and from the heart you stand up for freedom of (academic) speech.
Such clear words!
The world would need a lot more souls who stand up in such a constructive way.
No idea, of you feel stronger again than in the last video. Yet, to listen to you, speaking from the heart, sounds like being very much in your power with deep knowledge and dedication.
Blessings and many thanks!
🔥 Thank you for this video. I have wanted to know more about Evola's contribution to Western Esotericism for a while but assumed that I would only find information on him from right-wing sources. It's great that you don't shy away from studying controversial people - I think it's important to do so, if only to show that one can read them and stay objective at the same time.
Thanks for doing a video on Evola might want to do a video on the U.R group
I really appreciate when someone can recognize and appreciate the interesting ideas of evola while also recognizing his problematic political views
I am confident you are not really aware of his actual political views.
🔥🔥😃 This episode is fascinating, Dr Puca! I love your speech on studying openly and critically! Evola's esoteric work is very interesting! See you next time! 😃🔥🔥
🔥 thank you. Another enlightened episode.
🔥 Dr.Angela Puca, grazie for encouraging me to delve into Julius Evola. As you requested I have sent you a fire emoji with my comment.
🔥Informative as always.
🔥Brilliant start for the new year,
Beautiful work. A must re-watch with my notepad. More books 😊❤️
Yay, thank you!
That was very insightful, thank you! 🔥🔥🔥
🔥 I didn't even know of Evola until now but his views on this subject seem to mirror my own, that we humans are essentially "gods in waiting" and all we need to do is walk the path to take the positions that are rightfully ours, intrinsic to our very beings. However, the path is difficult and very few have had the wherewithal to walk it. I for one am glad I walk it, even with all the hardships and challenges it brings.
Very few people outside of fascists have heard of him
@@UltraVioletKnight And because of that association academics and orthodox-upholders make a point of letting them keep that monopoly, to the detriment of everyone interested in education.
He also held the Hindu Caste system to be real and that different eras of political modes and history corresponded to the rulership of certain caste.
🔥Thank you for the presentation!
Excellent video Dr. Puca! Thank you so much.
You are very welcome
Awesome video once again, when it comes to topics like these it is important to recognize that like you said studying the philosophy of others doesn't have to be an endorsement for their wrong doings. Looking forward to whatever you put out next 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥
🔥🔥🔥
🔥 GREAT video today, Dr. Angela Puca! Evola is one of those that I’ve heard much of from others, but haven’t yet dove into myself. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing!!
🔥thank you as always for a fascinating discussion. peace to you.
🔥
🔥 This is the most fascinating topics I’d ever learn, I never knew nothing about self-deification until now, thanks Dr. Puca 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
🔥 good introduction. I honestly don't think that reasonable people have a problem with the critical engagement of authors like Evola. I've seen people try to claim that Evola was not concerned about race & I've seen people try to claim that he was not aligned with the nsdap - when people do that I see them as unreliable. It's very clear what his positions were on these matters & people shouldn't try to obscure those facts. I'm glad that you didn't. This is excellent work, thank you.
Although he did hold some controversial views on Race, his flirtation with the NSDAP ended quickly, he rejected the Party for not being Right Wing enough. He was not a “fascist” for the same reason. In fact, he wrote and entire book about it.
Excellent as always. 🔥
Appreciate that
You are on 🔥

🌶🌶
Thank you for maintaining academic rigor on such a controversial topic!
Great disclaimer. Brava! Would make a great essay.
@ 16:07 Very interesting words. To study one's self, and the meanings of words. Wonderful ideas indeed! Our language is our light.
Straight 🔥
🔥 The whole thing at the beginning SHOULD go without saying…but here we are.
I never really had a thing for Evola or the Traditionalist movement, but it is part of the contemporary western…tradition ( dang! ). 😆
We have had talks about him in my order etc ( and most members as far politically from him as one can get ).
Also, the idea that some things can not be studied is not only wrong from an academic view point, but from from an esoteric one too. It is a matter of how and why, not if it is ”permissable” according to the latest pet ideology…itself risking to repeat mistakes it refused to understand.
Good work as always! 🔥
Btw: We talk about Dr Puca at lodge too at times. 😊
Is he required reading in your order?
@@JiandiP Not required, but members are a curious lot and usually well read.
very educative😮
🔥really enjoy your videos, thank you
Thanks!
Welcome!
We can all become whatever we want. Through tireless physical discipline, study and virtues of conduct, we can also remember how to become God. The greatest misfortune and evil is not to be alone without family, compass, faith or as part of society, but to grow old and die without realizing the potential of what your body and mind can achieve.

Excellent video!
Thanks 🔥

Would like to see a video on Cagliostro
🔥Very interesting! I haven't done much study of Evola directly, though I am certainly aware of him and his fascist associations.
It would be nice if, someday, people would give the benefit of the doubt to religious studies, philosophical, and other academic engagements with the work of certain figures and movements that one is simply studying them as one would anything else, and is not automatically endorsing them and everything they ever stood for or thought. This happened with predictable regularity in my religious studies classes, when students would say, e.g., "I'd like to do my project on the Church of Satan, but I just wanted to check before I did if I would go to Hell for doing so." No one assumes a psychologist that studies criminals endorses murder, or that a biologist who studies poisonous reptiles wants everyone to die of snakebites, and we'd ridicule the idea that anyone would think such...so, why is religion or philosophy the supposed exception in the fears of so many people? Alas, we'll never know. :(
Well said! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If people read his work, then they may agree with it. This way of thinking threatens the power structure that exists now, so they demonize it.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
4:42 Brilliant 💯
🔥 Interesting stuff. The best videos always give me a lot to think about.
Glad to hear it!
Oh yeah, I forgot about Doctrine of Awakening. I wondered where I got the idea that he was more on the wisdom than compassion angle, with regards to Evola's assimilation of Buddhism. I think that was the 1st Evola book I read, when I had no idea what he was all about.
The book, The Power Of Yoga is very powerful and there is a transition of energy in it, for those who are sensitive and evolved enough to pick up on it. Very few books out there have that effect! Evola also brought out three excellent books, An Introduction To Magic, though they should have been called An Introduction To High Magic For Initiates, as they are very deep. Evola was the real deal, he knew what he was talking about when it came to esoteric arts. Essential reading to tune the consciousness into higher soul levels...if you are ready...
Wonderful show 😁✌️🔥🔥🔥🔥Shane Safriet Violet Flame
Could you look into the works of Christopher Hyatt ?? Thanks

🔥 Evola’s goal sounds similar to Crowley and Gurdjief, two other controversial esotericts.
🔥Did Evola ever write about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?
I don't use emojis, but I made it to the end. Superb video on Evola's esotericism!
🤘❤️🔥
🔥Thank you for this very informative overview!
What I would also find interesting: To what extent can his fascist, elitist, misogynist, and anti-modern views and activities be seen as linked to his engagement with magic and Western Esotericism? Is it at all possible to separate these things?
This would also lead to the general question whether such connections are inevitable - or if the continuation of these traditions can also happen within a generally pro-enlightenment framework that has no room for authoritarianist sympathies.
Also, of course it would be interesting to look closer at how his views actually developed and changed over time.
Trying to call someone a Fascist and Misogynist even when he speaks of the soul??? 🤣🤣🤣
Evola was right when he mentioned ppl like you: "When these people claim that they are misunderstood, the only answer one can give them is that there is simply nothing to understand about them - that, if a normal order were in force, it would only be a matter of curtly putting them in their place, as one does with children when their foolishness becomes annoying, invasive, and impertinent." - Bow and Club
@@YoLo-hx3cs Thank you for your comment, which however does not help with understanding my original question.
🔥 Very interesting! Are you familiar with the research of Dr. Jeffery Martin, Angela?
What would Evola think of theosis?
Not sure how to frase this into a question or remark exactly, but it reminds me of Schopenhauer. I think the similarities and difference are worth checking out.
It's ironic that someone with so much focus on spiritual autonomy would fail to extend the principle of personal autonomy into the political sphere. Fascism is the epitome of subservience to the external power of the state. I will have a publication on Left Hand Path Tantra coming out through the Become A Living God publishing company in a few months. One of the biggest dangers of tantric spirituality is ego inflation. In the process of "becoming a god" tāntrikas often identify with a deity as a means of identifying with the universal, transindividual Consciousness that is equal in all beings - but sometimes their individual power of self-identification attaches itself to the notion of being better than everyone else without going beyond the aggrandized self-image to truly realize and actualize the innate omniscience and omnipotence of Consciousness.
Excellent presentation. It's odd how many people talk crap about him and try to censor anything to do with his work, all without ever having read it. Yet people like Aleister Crowley continue to be lauded, even though he was a horrendously abusive person and a drug addict whose socio-political views weren't any more enlightened than Evola's.
🌬🌬🌬🔥
I read that Evola was actually against fascism anyway. He was highly critical of Mussolini and his fascist ideologies.
When asked about it, he said Mussolini isn't fascist enough and he called himself super-fascist. So, there goes that.
@@iachtulhu1420 thanks for the clarification
@@iachtulhu1420 Super-fascist as in above fascism, not "more fascist fascism"
@@catholicpog7183 It's still fascism nonetheless.
@@iachtulhu1420 I wouldn't consider Evola a fascist honestly.

@@WinChun78 OK, but there is also Qabbalah.
Great video, he's quite the goofball but Evola had some quirky takes worth consideration, if only for the sheer eclectic novelty of it. Sad you had to wax poetic over his spicier opinions, it's not as if the casual observer was going to see this video and see Fuhrer Angela but the potential cost of not casting the ward spells before the work are just too damn high it seems.
John 14:v6 JESUS said I Am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the Father except through Me
As someone with a morbid (and, as much as I can, scolarly founded) fascination for the slow creep of fascism in intellectual life around the 1930's, it's fascinating how someone who is genuinely a master of his trade and a litterary mastodont (Evola, but also Gentile, d'Annunzio or, in Germany, Heidegger, Schmitt, and I'd argue, a bit earlier, Nietzsche in his Ecce Homo) slips heinous stuff in an otherwise fascinating work.
Like, take for instance the bit on absolute personnal freedom without moral bounds: as someone who likes nihilists, anarchists and social theorists, I'd argue that indeed, most of the time, moral bounds are merely conventions that repress people's capacity to enjoy and explore themselves (queer people, POC and, of course, women... god do esoterists fetishize womanhood... and that without even taking into account the fascination for jewish kaballah combined with antijudaism/antisemitism in western culture... anyhow) and a thought of free one self from internalized prejudice (what I could read as Evola's "moral bounds" if I didn't knew better about his worldview) is desirable.
The itch is that... it's not hard to see how Evola *despises* "mundane" world (like Heidegger's critique of the "vulgar"), and seems to have no regards for other people. That is, in my opinion, the moment when an aristocratic disdain for people of lower status (intellectual or social: again, won't argue Evola and peers aren't mastodonts of their own rights), combined with a criticism of modernity (which in and of itself, isn't unfounded: as you said, free inquiry is essential for a sane academic environment), synthetizes, if not outright fascism (in the Umberto Eco's paradigm), at the very least a sense of aristocratic disdain for life that can fit well with the fascist obsession with control, providential leader, and the idea that the masses are a herd only good to be commanded and to die for a higher purpose.
Anyhow, fascinating case. I really want to dive into the social and historical study of those people environment, and how they tricked other people into buying in their narratives (I'm thinking of Marcuse for Heidegger and Jung for Evola, and later people like Agamben for Schmitt). This is a wreck, but it is also, sadly, our shared heritage as intellectuals and students of philosophy, history and the occult.
I was introduced to Evola through the alt-right back when that was a thing. The vast majority of people who were reading Evola back then had a very superficial understanding of his worldview. They liked the aesthetics of strength and sacerdotal tradition but couldn't follow the larger implications.
@@catholicpog7183 I personnaly have a hard time with the whole "becoming god" stuff.
Why do they all want to be responsible for the whole mess that is reality so bad?
@@arkusworldwalker9818 Evola's understanding of God is very different from the Abrahamic idea.
From what I can understand of Evola's more spiritual works, he interprets God as the being that gives meaning to matter and thus "creates" the world through assigning names and identities. The world without "God" would be all dead matter without consciousness.
@@catholicpog7183 It was kinda tongue in cheek, but yeah I got Evola's Idea.
I wonder if he was influencial on Mussolini?
😋🌹💚🔥🖖🏽

Anyone interested in Evola and the other Traditionalists needs to read Collin Cleary's criticism of them, showing how Heidegger utterly destroys their metaphysical assumptions.
The brilliance of the Magic Baron's esoteric exposition is that it eschews both the limitations of rationalist-humanistic academia on the one hand, and the delusive morass of occultist neo-spiritualism on the other. 'The Hermetic Tradition' is, along with Titus Burckhardt's book on the subject, one of the best treatments of Alchemy written in recent times (along with Rene Guenon's last masterpiece 'The Great Triad') It's been noted that his political polemical writings are much more hastily written than his esoteric works.
thoroughly enjoyed this and i also really appreciate the disclaimer, i am a Marxist and an antifascist who spends a significant amount of time reading fascist theory and the works of fascist a"thinkers", i think shying away from what fascism is and what it really means to those who are enthralled by it is critical to combating it, too many people attempt to fight fascism without the vaguest idea of what it is and i believe this gives the fash the upper hand in winning the support of persons who are politically naive
Why are most Satanist, practicing Wiccans and other Magic(k) practitioners largely pro queer Marxists?
If you want to know what Fascism is, learning about Julius Evola is not that useful. Who you should really be studying is Giovanni Gentile, Enrico Corradini, Sergio Panunzio, Edmondo Rossoni, and Michele Bianchi. I hope this helps you.
@@Captain_Eagle you can’t tell me gentile and evolas anti materialism and anti rationalism don’t come from pretty much the exact same place
@@gloriousasssquat1876 His point was that Evola's work was not very influential on Italian Fascism in his lifetime, despite his attempts to do so. His paganism, anti-populism, and occult beliefs were unpopular.
Also: if by the "exact same place" you mean Hegel (I'm not sure you do, so if not, please explain), then I have bad news for you regarding Marx.
@@slynt_ the place I mean is indignant rage persons of privilege experience when their lives are not as good as they think they ought to be, and I’m not talking about influence then I’m talking about influence now, evola is cited constantly among fascists in the modern era and his revolt against the modern world is a racist tirade that resonates heavily with losers world wide, its a perfect distillation of the delusion and central angst of fascists
pity you had to include that disclaimer, but such are the times we live in.
Apparently, Evola "was so conservative" even the Nazis regarded him with suspicion!! 🤣🔥
To be fair, many of the Nazis' enemies in Germany were conservatives.
Man is made in the image of God. Put the letters Yud Heh Vav Heh of the Tetragrammaton on top of each other and it makes the image of a humanoid figure. Represents the four worlds which may be found within each and every one of us, should we gaze and explore deeply enough.
CAN YOU SPEAK LAUDER?!!
I agree that history as a discipline needs to study and analyze events and people regardless of their moral stance. On the other hand, if someone is looking for advice or ideas for personal spiritual development, then I would advise avoiding people like Evola and Scaligero like the plague.
Agreed, not only for Evola's political views but because he really didn't know what he was talking about anyway.
Respectfully, I must disagree, Scaligero's 'Il Luce' and 'Practical Manual of Meditation' are exceptional and profound esoteric works and well worth studying.
@@NigelJackson did he become a fascist asshole before he wrote those works or after? And did he ever disavow his fascism?
It sounds like you have a very clear conception of what spiritual development ought to look like for other people. A bit fascist of you, if I do say so myself.
@@dallas7077 Again a somewhat sweeping dismissal - I'd be grateful if you might qualify your statement as to why you think Baron Evola to be so clueless as regards esoteric matters? In my view 'The Hermetic Tradition' evinces a much deeper grasp of Alchemy than the usual effusions of the occultist Anglo-sphere (along with R.Guenon's last masterpiece 'The Great Triad', an essential work).
Need to relate these ideas to his quasi-fascist ideology and despite his so-called "avant-garde" pretensions, he was conservative "traditionalist" in how he saw society/marriage/family. I can't say that Evola didn't write some things of value, but his proximity to fascism must be kept in mind.
It's like you didn't even watch this video. Or has technology really turned everyone's attention span and dialogue retention to that of my Grandmother, who has late stage dementia and can't even remember what she told me 5 minutes ago, bless her heart.
She has a legit neurological condition. I pray you don't have one too. Or worse, insult us by thinking we are all so American used that we just consume any information without a pro active critical filter and live a purely reactionary existence.
Careful, you'd better wear a mask while reading about him or you you might catch a case of fascism just like covid!
🔥I greatly appreciate your work Doctor; but i think it is -to be polite- somewhat flawed to present Evola's notions stripped from their context in and interaction with the rest of his social & political ideology (that is to say fascism, misogyny, & antisemitism). The approach he takes towards examining other religions (& in fact which he considers worthy of study) as well as the philosophy he produces are intimately entangled with his notions of racial & social hierarchies, militaristic politics, & lionization of violence death.
To present him like this... Well it whitewashes Evola to those who might be first running into him, & also kinda removes important context as to what the man means by deification.
It appears you wanted a political treatise rather than critical engagement with the material. Evola's politics were to enable his spiritual beliefs, not the inverse.
