<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionalism is a philosophical school which has significantly impacted religious communities and political movements in the twentieth and twenty first centuries, yet it remains virtually unknown among scholars and the general public. Yet when Steve Bannon cited R\u00e9ne Gu\u00e9non and Julius Evola as key influences in formulating his political positions, this inspired new interest in the history and ideas informing the growing Alt Right. However, both Gu\u00e9non and Evola have been known within Pagan and occult communities for decades as esoteric theorists. Overall, the tenets of Traditionalism, which include Perennialism, the cultivation of an initiated elite, the notion of cyclical time, a past golden age and anti-modern sentiments, have increasingly impacted Pagan and occult communities, as some of these ideas are complementary to Pagan and occult aesthetics, values and practices.

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This special volume of The Pomegranate<\/em> would feature articles examining the ways in which Traditionalism has influenced Pagan and occult subcultures. Topics could include<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Traditionalism and Pagan or esoteric publishing.
\u00b7 The intersection of Traditionalist ideas with Pagan values and ethics.
\u00b7 Neofolk music.
\u00b7 Traditionalism and Polytheism, Reconstructionism and Heathenry.
\u00b7 Pagan and occult themes in Traditionalist theory.
\u00b7 The impact of Traditionalist debates in various orders, such as the O.T.O.
\u00b7 The impact of Traditionalism on historic individuals relevant to Paganism, for example W.B. Yeats or Kathleen Raine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that while papers may reflect the impact of Traditionalism
on the Alt Right or New Right in relationship to these topics, that we
would like to ensure that we focus on relevant philosophies and
frameworks explicitly inspired by Traditionalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
