About the Author

Julius Evola (1898-1974) was one of the leading authorities on the world’s esoteric traditions and hermeticism. Among his other books published by Inner Traditions are Ride the Tiger, Revolt Against the Modern World, The Hermetic Tradition, and the three-volume set Introduction to Magic.

Reviews

“Anyone seeking a literary initiation into the world of deep thought and practices can do no better than to start with Evola.”
*Institute for Hermetic Studies*

“Evola . . . had a clarity of mind and a gift for explaining tremendously diffcult concepts in nonacademic language.”
*Gnosis: A Journal of the Western Inner Traditions*

“One of the most diffcult and ambiguous figures in modern esotericism.”
*Richard Smoley, author of A Theology of Love*
