Enfant survivant de la défaite des Géants contre les Asgardiens, le fils de Laufey (première apparition B.D en octobre 1962) était adopté par Odin et élevé dans la cour asgardienne. Mais il ne parviendra pas à s'intégrer dans cette société, du fait notamment d'être systématiquement dans l'ombre de son demi-frère Thor dont il ne possédait pas les qualités. Apprenant la magie noire et affectant la duplicité, il est surnommé le dieu de la trahison puis par la suite dieu du Mal lorsqu'il deviendra de plus en plus cruel. Tentant en vain de détroner Odin, il s'en prend par la suite à Thor (récent pensionnaire de la Terre) et provoque accidentellement la formation des Vengeurs...</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Comme dans <em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier</em>, l'histoire débute directement après <em>Avengers : End Game</em> mais à une différence près et de taille. Tué par Thanos au début d'<em>Avengers: Infinity War</em> (le volet 2), Loki est en fait vivant mais dans une réalité alternative. Après avoir volé le Tesseract, il est arrêté par le Tribunal des Variations Anachroniques (TVA, <em>Time Variance Authority</em>). L'agent Mobius (Owen Wilson) désire sa collaboration afin de retrouver une version alternative... de Loki.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><img id="media-6280843" style="float: left; margin: 0.2em 1.4em 0.7em 0;" title="" src="http://eklektik.hautetfort.com/media/01/02/2754206494.jpg" alt="TVA,time variance authority,michael waldron,gugu mbatha-raw,sophia di martino,loki,avengers,vengeurs,disney+,marvel,marvel studios,owen wilson,tom hiddleston,asgard," />La série marque un tourant essentiel dans l'univers Marvel puisqu'elle introduit explicitement la notion de multivers, permettant au passage de faire la jonction avec les récits des prochains long-métrages signés Marvel Studios (notamment Doctor Strange et Ant-Man). Nous ne serons pas longs cette fois-ci. Invétérés de feu Philip K. Dick, nous n'avons pu qu'adorer cet assemblage réussi de science-fiction, dystopie, mondes parallèles et délires spatio-temporels. La présence du bavard Tom Hiddleston (que nous avions déjà remarqué, il y a longtemps de cela, dans la série <em>Rome</em>) et du laconique Owen Wilson participe également de la grande réussite de ce récit décalé.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tandis qu'une saison 2 est prévue, nous plaçons déjà celle-ci dans notre TOP 3 des séries Marvel (avec <em>Legion</em> et <em>WandaVision</em>).

I’ve been trying to read, and then review, the contents ever since, but found it difficult. Not because of the writing — Wulf is admirably clear and free of both “scholarly” stodginess and “occult” rigmarole — but precisely because of its dense content of interesting and important ideas. Almost every page gives one something to think about, a source to look up and perhaps reconsider, a inspiration to a new connection made for one’s self.</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">Why I should have been selected for this privilege is plain from the contents. <em>Loki’s Way</em> covers the whole range of topics we’ve explored on this blog, outside of the more pedestrian political and economic ones, from the <em>Männerbund</em> to mystery traditions to runes, from Nietzsche to Evola to Colin Wilson. I am above all grateful for Wulf’s freeing me from the mild guilt I have felt about all the topics I haven’t done to adequate length, as well as my regret that the late Alisdair Clarke did not live to produce a similar treatise from his path breaking blog, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/Aryanfuturism.blogspot.com" rel="external"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Aryan Futurism</span></a> <sup>[3]</sup>. Constant Readers of this blog will find <em>Loki’s Way</em> to be essential reading.</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">But first let Wulf define his subject:</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">Loki’s Way is an adaptation of the Left Hand Path or sorcery for the Kali Yuga. This tradition has taken many forms throughout the centuries, in the modern age it must be updated to deal with new discoveries in science and psychology. [62]</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">The last part there also brings up another reason I’ve had trouble writing about this book. I have grave reservations about much of the material in the first third, and thus, as Wulf expresses it here, in a sense his whole project. I would prefer that he take Guénon’s advice and forget about “reconciling” science and Tradition and especially “updating“ the latter by the former. Not only should the process be reversed, judging Science by the timeless principles of Tradition, but the process is necessarily unending, as Science by contrast is the realm of the amorphous and ever-changing, requiring the “synthesis” (really, as Guénon would point out, syncretism) to be redone over and over — although I’m sure the publishers appreciate that!</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">In particular, I think that Wulf’s claim that “the esoteric is the physiological,” i.e. the “discovery” that what esoteric Tradition has been talking about in guarded language can “now be revealed” (as the New Age publishers would shout) as being techniques for manipulating the endocrine and other bodily systems, is really just a misreading of what Evola among others has described as the starting point that remains when all dogmas and theories have been tested and abandoned, in the alchemical abyss:</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">But then the individual finds himself confronting his body, which is the fundamental nexus of all the conditions of his state. The consideration of the connection between the ego principle in its double form of thought and deed and corporeality . . . and the transformation of said connection by means of well-defined, practical, and necessary acts, even though they are essentially interior, constitutes the essential core of the Royal Art of the hermetic masters.</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">Evola adds:</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">The latter will be directed first of all to the conquest of the principle of immortality, and then to the total stable nature, no longer transitory or deteriorating . . . by which the human manifestation is established within the realm of becoming. (<em>The Hermetic Tradition</em>, pp. 98-99)</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">Immortality! Yes, indeed:</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">Loki’s Way gives us the opportunity for individual immortality. It means using the very structures that are in place to satisfy the replicators and which sustain collective immortality for our own benefit. We are literally making a u-turn; the very things that sustain the immortality of the collective must be used against the norm to achieve a permanent, discrete and individual self.</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">This, of course, is extremely difficult and confronting and accordingly the path to immortality is one that only a few will attempt and less will achieve. It is hard to conceptualize just how radical such a process must be. The best way is to seriously consider that absolutely everything you believe, feel and think could be wrong. Your tastes, choices, preferences, likes and dislikes are all conditioned. Nothing about your life is authentically real. It is as though you were conditioned as a government agent and everything you believe to be true about yourself, your life, your career even your family is simply brainwashing. The truth about the human condition is really that terrifying. Most will find such a scenario so frightening and so personally confronting that it is easier to look away and find fault with this book than to wake up and smell the coffee. (p. 58)</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">What Evola calls alchemy or The Royal Art Wulf calls . . . sorcery:</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">What is sorcery? Sorcery is a means by which an individual is able to wretch control of the evolutionary processes to become individually aware and immortal. He or she becomes a discrete, isolate intelligence which exists beyond the confines of the collective processes of eternal re-occurrence. . . . Within Loki’s Way this change is the transformation of human to post human through the focusing of the Will. (p. 61)</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">The bit about the Will reminds us that Evola was compelled to treat Crowley with some respect, despite his deplorable life and personality, as someone who Knew Things. Wulf goes Evola one better and brings in Crowley explicitly.</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">Another thing he brings in explicitly, and much to my heart, is the <em>Männerbund</em>, which Evola only relatively briefly discusses. Wulf connects the dots between the historical <em>Männerbund</em> and the esoteric path to individual immortality followed by the elite — in contrast to the common fate in store for the followers of the Vedic “path of the fathers,” Evola’s realm of society beneath the State, my own contrast of Family Values and Wild Boys. For Wulf it’s replicators versus Sorcerers.</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">The <em>Männerbund</em> or Warrior Band is the origin of the esoteric path, because the latter is, <em>au fond</em>, a battle; which Wulf explains, typically, in equal parts Sufism and Dawkins:</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">Memetic eugenics is the process whereby we weed out unworthy memes and replace them with memes which will help us evolve. This is what Loki’s Way is all about. We dissolve conditioning and replace it with memes which are conducive to our own process of godmaking. This book is a meme, bringing esoteric traditions in line with science and hopefully awakening the small number of people with the potential to become more than what they are.</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">Sorcery is found in many ancient traditions. In the Norse we can see that the warrior ethic was an expression of the battle against the flawed aspects of the emotions and psyche to achieve a true Self which would enter Valhalla. The berserker or warrior is a great “type” of the seeker for the Overman. An even more intriguing example is in Sufism where the concept of Jihad is interpreted in a unique way. The outer form of Jihad is a just war but the inner form of Jihad, the more significant, is against the false and flawed aspects of the personality. This model of the internal battle where we wage a sacred war against genes, memes and frames to achieve a Self is an expressive and poetic way to represent our sacred quest. (p. 66)</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">So, paradoxically, only the Warrior Band, the Group, can provide the context for true individuation:</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">This is one of the reasons cell, unit or <em>Männerbund</em> work is so significant, it keeps you grounded and stops the fragments of the ego from influencing your worldview. A good group of fellow working sorcerers can bring you to earth quicksmart! (p. 95)</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">This warrior elite, devoted to realizing a higher principle, is the origin of the Traditional Aryan State, which is oriented to a transcendent principle, in contrast to the common herd and its promiscuous “wants” and “needs” (think: peasant frivolity vs. the Templars) and thus also the social stratification characteristic of Aryan society (p. 72):</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">The sorcerer and warrior both have the potential to become Overman via different means or by combining paths. Loki’s Way is the modern equivalent of [Georges Dumézil‘s] first function combined with a warrior ethic. It can be applied via the mode of the lone wolf, with a blood brother or in a Männerbund. The teaching level of the sorcerer and warrior is esoteric and left hand path. (p. 74)</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">At this point, the story takes a turn that may give the average reader a turn himself, but not our Constant Readers:</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">As organic and social memes are dissolved new forms of sexuality and emotional bonding needs to be created. Every man has androphilic potential, it just has to be activated and directed. Since the transition to the Overman is unnatural and works against the normal evolutionary process which favours reproduction then the focus must be on same-sex bonding. (p. 112)</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">I am not suggesting that every screaming queen or muscle-mary is a spiritual warrior or engaged in Platonic love. I am suggesting that to cultivate a unique form of androphile friendship based on esoteric ideas is the highest form of relationship and for the Overman naught else will do. (p. 109)</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">Which leads to chapters discussing both historical traditions from India to the Norsemen, and modern theorists from Edward Carpenter to Hans Blüher to Jack Malebranche. Especially important are his careful dissection of the various “models” of homosexuality that have gone into creating the modern notions of “homosexual” and “gay,” and analyzing their usefulness for the Left Hand Path.</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">The [Uranian] model was popularised by both Ulrichs and Hirschfeld and ultimately proves wanting. It confuses intersex and transgenderism with homosexuality. While this is not surprising due to the early period of their work it is still a view popular today. It seems an ongoing slur in a culture which devalues women and sees them as “less than men” to associate men who take the passive sexual role as female. It could be argued that this identification has its roots in misogyny and was later fed by Judeo Christian thinking. Many also believe that the idea of seeing a homosexual as a woman in a man’s body led to the medicalization of homosexuality which continued right through to the 1960s.</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">The Intermediate Sex model [Carpenter] is significant as the shaman, priest and androphile warrior existing outside the normal structures of the society. At the same time I think we need to be careful using the term third or intermediate sex as it infers a state which is not quite one or the other, rather than as one which is both. The masculinist model of Brand and others (it is also found represented in the work of Jack Malebranche today, <em>Androphilia</em>) is appealing and certainly relevant.</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">Personally I we think we need to develop a new model for our sexuality hence terms like Androphilia and the <em>Männerbund</em> need to be understood in a new way. This is especially significant since we are talking about same-sex relations in terms of a unique goal not as an everyday preference. For the <em>Männerbund</em> androphilia is a special form of “sacred” bond which is expressed between warriors; it is also initiatory.</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">All comrades have a male and female side and clearly since they are working to transcend human restrictions would have no problems exploring passive or active sex roles. The genders within us, so to speak, represent a great source of power and we may use cross dressing or passive techniques for Seidr work but also have no issue with being warriors for Galdr (active runic sorcery) or even in battle. (p. 129)</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">I think Wulf is on to something important here. All of the existing ‘scientific’ and especially “historical” models seem skewed against the correct understanding of the telos of esotericism being to transcend by uniting male and female, active and passive, etc.</span></strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">[P]rohibitions against same-sex relations hence the fear of homosexuality comes from an alien desert religion and has little to do with our traditions. . . . Many of these same phobias were passed down into Christianity and Islam. Many traditions had a very different attitude to same-sex relations prior to their infection by Christianity. Japanese Buddhism had a strong homoerotic element as did the Samurai, it was only Christian missionaries that did away with such traditions. Sadly many of the Eddic references to same-sex relations are negative but that is to be expected considering they have come down through the hands of Christian scribes! (p. 219)</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: small; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: #c0c0c0;">One could add here Daniélou’s similar comments on the importation of Victorian and modernist prejudices into Hinduism, as we have frequently quoted on our own b
