The mythic meeting of Cæsar Augustus with the Sibyl, of whom he inquired whether he should be worshiped as a god, was often depicted by artists from the late Middle Ages onwards. In the versions known to the later Middle Ages, for example the account in the Golden Legend, Augustus asked the Sibyl whether he should be worshipped as a god, as the Roman Senate had ordered. She replied by showing him a vision of a young woman with a baby boy, high in the sky, while a voice from the heavens said "This is the virgin who shall conceive the saviour of the world", who would eclipse all the Olympian Gods. The episode was regarded as a prefiguration of the Biblical Magi's visit to the new-born Jesus and connected Ancient and Christian Rome, implying foreknowledge of the coming of Christ by the greatest of Roman emperors.

"With the arrival of 1916, after the bloodbath at Verdun, the visage of war had changed. By that time the striking force of the great armies was either depleted or successfully held at bay by the opponent, forcing them to resolve to new means in order to sway the outcome of the battle in their favor. Mobilization became more intense, encompassing with no exceptions all the energies and organizational resources of national states. The Battle of the Somme had already shown that persistent combat for the edges of some little village or a patch of scorched forest demanded the strength of the entire nation, all the way down to the last woman factory worker."

"We now realize the existence of various danger zones which we can distinguish by the varying degrees to which they are menaced by destruction. Those zones where the interaction between manmade mechanics and natural elements is most intense, that is, where technical progress has advanced the farthest, as in big cities and highly industrialized regions; those are also the zones where destruction can have the greatest quantitative effect. The zones of greatest danger are the ones where the organization of work has produced the densest settlement, where the greatest mass of people has been brought together. For it is the masses especially who are threatened by destruction. We can see this already in the new war weapons that have been introduced, weapons whose technical progressiveness is expressed in their mass effect. War weapons of this sort, like poison gas, have a painful similarity to the methods employed by the exterminators of pests. Significantly, these new weapons are designed for total effect within considerable space. This means that their effectiveness is greatest in those spaces where human masses are concentrated."

"For proper understanding of these developments, we must consider the overall situation of modern man. What characterizes the situation in the mechanized war of the industrial worker or the soldier who is, in fact, a worker, as is everybody who lives in a state of advanced industrialization?
The situation of the worker is signalized by his dependence on machinery and organization. It is signalized by the absence of reserves on which he could fall back. He is reduced to the sale of his bare working capacity, and he must sell it unceasingly and unstintingly if he wants to live. He has no funds to guarantee him peace of mind, leisure, or even an extended vacation. This already existing pattern of so-called normal civilian life simply gets incorporated into the pattern of total war. In it all human and material resources are drafted, mobilized, and brought into action. Plainly, there is a reverse side to this process, namely, the total consumption caused by total war. Such a war is by no means a spontaneous, voluntary mass uprising where enthusiasm makes up for primitive technical equipment. It is a struggle between technically highly developed organizations which show all the mechanical, automatic features characteristic of an advanced stage of technology. That is why the most important goal of modern war is to smash the technical potential of the opponent."

"...thus war to the warrior held as his end, as well as the path for this spiritual realization. Thus he fought in a pure way, war itself was a good. The rhetoric of the 'battle of rights', 'territorial claims', sentimental or humanitarian pretexts and so on are altogether and wholly modern things, entirely alien to the concept of heroism."

On hire from Swiss or Sweden, be me Christian, be me heathen
The devil to the sabre I shall put
With a crack flanking maneuver, I'm an uhlan alles uber
Striking terror into regiment of foot
...
I knew my days were numbered when o'er the trenches lumbered
More modern machinations de la guerre
No match for rapid fire or the steel birds of the sky
With a final rear guard action I retreat
No match for barbered wire or the armored engines whine
Reluctant I retire and take my leave

"Dominique de Roux sent me a copy of A Visit to Godenholm. I have read it three times and each time I read it I find new beauty. The very noscript perhaps seems to say, if I am not mistaken, the house of the Gods or the roof of the Gods, and, in effect, is about the last initiation, that of death, suggested or sensed from the very first page…."

The caveat here is that the opposite scenario—when man became god, as Heracles did—is just the same attacked by modernity to its own grave peril. The danger in either case is the forgetting of a man's duty to fulfill his true divine nature.

The proper understanding is that the two are not actually opposite scenarios but the same event told from two perspectives.

On The Spiritual Problem of Great Replacement Theory. (rant)
What everyone seems to be ignoring is the spiritual side to the power dynamics of Great Replacement Theory. By that we do not necessarily mean that people ignore the frankly benign question of who is actually "behind it all", but rather the subtle reasons as to why it is even happening in the first place.
This is going to be wildly unpopular, because we are essentially going to say that if the white races are being replaced, then that is a problem for the white races to overcome, and nothing less.
Whites are on the whole today spiritually empty, hedonistically inclined, they are materialistic, ego-centric, nihilistic weaklings. If we are going to accept the fact of white replacement by the Yellow and Black races, then we must start by admitting that Whites are weak and degenerate, because surely if we are strong and healthy we would not be facing the onslought of racial squalour and spiritual degeneration, we would not be on a slow grind towards total replacement.
We are going to be engaging in racist victim blaming here, since our claim is essentially that, if you are being victimized, then this is squarely and solely the result of your own actions, you are a human being, and if you have even a shred of dignity then you should never for once pretend that your position of victimhood is anything other than what you yourself wished and desired for yourself.
God helps those who help themselves.
Whites being replaced is solely the responsibility of Whites. Although apparently Whites are being replaced by Asiatic and African races, as well as spiritually, culturally, and even politically degenerated by the Levantine-Semitic race, the reality is that none of this would be happening if the White races did not allow them to occur. The current state of things is in other words no ones but your own to put into order again.
This hints at the centrality of the racial position. An ethnostate is worthless if it is compromised of "ethnically pure" trailerpark degenerate trash, but priceless if it is governed by God.
To furthermore clarify the point; the Great Replacement is, like all positions of victimhood, the responsibility of the victim. If a woman is raped, this is the responsibility of her brothers and her man. Not only did you allow yourself to become the victim, you actively wished to be one, no matter what you might tell yourself.

This is the inconvenient truth that racist Europeans don't want to admit. It is not an Islamic conquest of Europe that is happening, or an Arab or African or any racial one at all. It is a swelling of the dark unnamed masses from the South, a march of unthinking zombies from the underworld. Their spirit is the same that has already taken hold of Europe. Daemonic, borne only of the earth, blind to all Heaven, and animalistically violent in their ignorance. They are essentially an anti-race, and that is why those who have abandoned their own peoples and homelands are flocking to the crumbling ruins of those who have also given up on their races and disgraced their homelands.
If the European had not turned his back on God, the godless masses would not think of themselves as welcome—would not be welcomed. If he had not declared himself king of the animals and nothing more, the animals would not have come to be with their own. And what a lowly thing that is for such a lowly form of hubris, to aspire to rule over an empire of beasts.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust; if all one is is an animal sprung from the dirt, then dirt is what one will become. When divine origins are forgotten, when race and home and life itself have been desacralized, the only result can be death.

Race is not enough to survive, one has to have a spiritual elevation and protection for this spirit. The problem with modern nationalism and the many forms of right-wing on the Internet is that they sacrifice their spirits for DNA. Nationalism sells one's soul to preserve one's survival. Most modern right-wing philosophy is identical to that of Dr. Faust, and for this reason most modern Right-wingers are completely modernists; And they are, as Spengler said: "der Faustische Mensch", the Faustian man.
