"The Grail essentially embodies the source of a transcendent and immortalizing power of primordial origin that has been preserved after the 'Fall', degeneration and decadence of humanity." - Julius Evola
“There is only one thing that the Grail and its secret virtues will not tolerate in you: countless desires.” - Julius Evola, The Mystery of the Grail
“Julius Evola once told me the writings and legends of the Grail suddenly disappear with the destruction of the Templars in the Thirteenth Century, as suddenly as the Magdalenian wall paintings after the sinking of Atlantis.”
— Miguel Serrano,
“In his The Mystery of the Grail (1937), Evola discarded Christian interpretations of the Holy Grail and wrote that it "symbolizes the principle of an immortalizing and transcendent force connected to the primordial state ... The mystery of the Grail is a mystery of a warrior initiation."[135] He held that the Ghibellines, who had fought the Guelph for control of Northern and Central Italy in the thirteenth century, had within them the residual influences of pre-Christian Celtic and Nordic traditions that represented his conception of the Grail myth. He also held that the Guelph victory against the Ghibellines represented a regression of the castes, since the merchant caste took over from the warrior caste.”
