same shit. don't get lost in semantics. there was an entire tradition of spiritualism that emerged in the 19th century very loosely linked to ancient texts and medieval esoterics. it was all, all of it, a big fat larp though there was a fuck ton of variation. theosophy is one of the more public and popular branches of a specific interpretation of history and spirituality which was sort of like a cultural commons in which other movements and larps participated, some quite secret that reached into the halls of power. like, the nkvd and the nazis both searched all over tibet for fucking agartha shit when the very idea of agartha was made up by some italian dude. it's fucking pathetic that jews were able to spin these literal gothic comic book tales for prussian aristocrats or gullible bolsheviks and have them prancing around the world. so when i call evola a theosophist, i only mean that he should be taken about as seriously, for mostly the same reasons. i suppose you thought i meant that i thought he was a literal theosophical acolyte.  for you to jump there as your immediate conclusions proves your illiteracy even wrt this thread.
