"He is the man of glory. And he will be spoken of to the farthest reaches of time. They will speak of him because of his fame. It was a day in summer, the day of the storm. The clouds were black around Pelion, the lightning descended as bales upon the mountains, and the thunder rolled far and wide over the land. Then, he arrived. I heard that a mighty one was approaching, for the earth echoed and roared far away, and the Father of the Son rejoiced above. And with him came glory. Glory is what unites gods and men, and the demigod – the heroes are there for glory. What is the way that he came to me? The path of glory. He went into the unknown, into the untrodden. Into the uncultivated he went. As a seer he came into the unseen, one does not forget him. He is never forgotten. The boastless flowers of the field he trampled with strong step. When I heard the reverberation of his foot, when the earth thundered, I said to myself: The offender is coming. And my heart was frightened in my chest, it began to thump and pound like a hammer. It was not beating out of fear, for he came as a friend. It trembled in my chest because I felt that the end was near. What do the upper gods love in man? His light. They love what is glorious in him, for it is bright, sharp, cutting light."
~ Chiron on Heracles

"Hermes without the aid of Revelation, but through the use of reason, has come to the knowledge of God, and even of the Trinity.”

"Considering the history of man as isolated in some way from everything else is an exclusively modern idea, in stark opposition to the teaching of all traditions which, on the contrary, are unanimous in affirming the existence of a correlation necessary and constant between the cosmic order and the human one."
- René Guénon, Traditional Forms and Cosmic Cycles

"But friend, we come too late. It's true that the gods live,
But up over our heads, up in a different world.
They function endlessly up there, and seem to care little
If we live or die, so much do they avoid us.
A weak vessel cannot hold them forever; humans can
Endure the fullness of the gods only at times. Therefore
Life itself becomes a dream about them. But perplexity
And sleep assist us: distress and night-time strengthen,
Until enough heroes have grown in the bronze cradle,
With hearts as strong as the gods', as it used to be."
- Friedrich Hölderlin, Bread and Wine

"When the spirit manages to take steps towards heights or depths, freeing itself from the sphere of phenomena, this world of forms dissolves: the light becomes too strong, it has to retreat. All that is personal is equivalent to separation, to loan. There is a happiness greater than that implied in the personality, and it is self-denial. Here father and mother are one."
- Ernst Jünger, At the Time Wall

"Before him [Herodotus] there was something different, there was the night of the myth. This night was not, however, darkness, but rather dream, and the connection it knew between men and events was different from historical consciousness and its separating force. From here comes the auroral light that illuminates the work of Herodotus. He stands as if on the crest of a mountain that separates night and day: not just two times, but two ways of time, two types of light. ...

From the space of history, into which he had just entered, Herodotus turned his gaze back towards the space of myth. He did it with respect. The same respect is necessary today where, beyond the wall of time, future events are looming."

- Ernst Jünger, At the Time Wall

As we've established, it was a spiritual power that unified Europe in order to counter the Huns. It is no coincidence then that in legend the Grail appears to Percival and allows him to push back the Huns. It is said to bestow the powers of the Holy Spirit and reveal 'the beginning of all great deeds and the reason behind courageous feats,' or what can identified as inner awakening, purification of the self. Like alchemical fire it is a test, and terrible things fall upon the weak man who sets out to take it but fails. The Grail symbolizes victory in the inner war. Victory in battle, from the Catalaunian Plains to Las Navas de Tolosa to the Seige of Vienna, comes to those who first pass the test of the Grail. Those who fail the test, lose.

The Grail means more than a symbol of the inner war of course; it is also a romantic symbol. The full significance of the Grail is in the combined relation of both war and romance to spiritual fulfillment. As in war, outer love comes to those who first pass the test of inner love. As in war, it is a spiritual force that unites and empowers lovers and brings them true love, 'what a tongue could never express and the heart fail to realize.'

In this video Schwerpunkt tears down the Nationalistic/Socialistic liberal view of history and makes an example of that fateful Seige of Vienna to illustrate the traditional forces at play in that moment and elsewhere. There are many 'inconvenient truths' laid out for those who might be held back by fundamentally liberal perspectives.

To reestablish a conservatism with theological and aesthetic power one would first have to confront nihilism, and perhaps what would more appropriately be known as a curse, doom. To begin with: acknowledging our defeat, and only then may one move on to banish ugliness. We are, each of us, the Last Man – completely alone.
The conservative figure wants a paradise without law, not only the absence of God's restrictions but also the excesses.

To be illiberal is not enough, such positions can only open up the greater questions of democracy. Dead questions. We are no longer confronted by democracy but the catastrophe of an entire era, and every last one of its forms.
Democracy was providential, and its defeat even more so. Only in confronting this does a new time begin to appear.

“The idea of existence is inseparable from that of the Being, and it manifests itself to us as an effect, of which Being is the cause”
