de Naglowska: Open Letter to Pius XI & Initiatic Eroticism


Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

This video will include two chapters of Maria de Naglowska’s Initiatic Eroticism.

  • This book is a compilation of articles by de Naglowska from her paper “La Fleche” (The Arrow)
  • I found her because she is said to be a source for Evola
  • She also translated Randolph’s Sexual Magic.
    • The only version of this work is from her translation
    • According to Donald Traxler, the translator of her works, She added significantly to that work.
  • Randolph is said to be one of the sources for Thelemic Sexual Magick.
    • I have been reading Eulis! But it is hard going.
    • When I read his statements of “I am a doctor” combined with he assertions that abortion is unnecessary because the woman can push out the zygote by biting her thumb and blowing, it causes me to lack confidence…
    • Rather than reading it with an eye out for the false, I am now reading in hopes of gleaning something worthwhile.
  • The first article  will be from Page 139, titled “Open Letter to Pius XI”
  • The second will be from Page 146, titled “Initiatic Eroticism”
  • Overall, I found the book interesting and well worth my while, despite its overt religious and mystical slant.


So, a quick Video Log update and then on to the meat of the video.

I Spent some time writing another grab bag, but I just wasn’t feeling it when I was done, so instead, I’ll just mention them here and link them below.


  • First, there was the video “Why Do The Cult Of SJWs Hate Anti SJWs More Than Anyone [Super Collaboration Mirror]”
    • Answers range, but I think that the primary reasons are ressentiment and the uncanny valley/cognitive dissonance
    • The closer things are, the more likely we are to wonder if WE made a wrong turn in judgement
  • Second, That Japanese Man Yuta has a channel where he goes out and interviews Japanese people on the street.
    • The first video I want to highlight is “What Japanese Think of Feminism”
    • Next would be the more recent “Do Japanese Want Multiculturalism in Japan?”
    • Both are worthwhile, as are many other videos in his archive.
  • Thirdly, I highly recommend Zarathrustra’s Serpent’s recent Video “Zarathrustra’s Whip”
    • I think it summarizes quite clearly one of the points of intersection between Nietzsche and Thelema
    • There is a reason why Nietzsche is esteemed as a prophet/forerunner of Thelema
    • This helps explain why Nietzsche is in the list of Saints
  • Fourth are some articles
    • From the American Conservative, “Burning Man Staves Off Nihilism, If Only Temporarily”
    • And from Medium, “Micro-Religions” which looks at current social movements critically.


And in recent news, yes, it IS OK to be white.
I don’t know why everyone hates albinos so much.

Readings:

  • Page 139,  “Open Letter to Pius XI”
  • Page 146,  “Initiatic Eroticism”

So, I think it is quite apparent that de Naglowska was tapped into the early stirrings of the 93rd Current, another antecedent of Thelema. From this one work, I see strong correlations between Naglowska and Crowley. This may change as I read the other works, but for now I find it very compelling. I hope you enjoyed these excerpts.

Truth is found in the Rubble of Falsehood
Love is the law, love under will
