That's Calogero. The man is a case study in pseudo-initiation: a New Ager who fancies himself a fedele d'amore while spending his days obsessing over Evola's table talk, dabbling in the failed gymnastics of Anthroposophy, and treating occultist grimoires like Introduction to Magic as legitimate sources.
The chasm between this kind of activity and an authentic path is made clear when you contrast the pitiful state of these Christian "initiates" with the life of the Sheikh, Abd al-Wahid Yahya (PBUH). Guénon (PBUH) didn't just read about tradition; he mastered its languages and was recognized as a realized master within the highest circles of the Shadhiliyya and by the scholars of Al-Azhar. His entire life was a testament to the principles he wrote about, culminating in his death:
>At precisely eleven o'clock on the evening of Sunday, January 7th, 1951, the Sheikh (PBUH) lay stretched out on his bed... his two wide, blue eyes shone in his pure white face... His soul passed away—as told by those present at his death—as he repeated the singular, all-encompassing Name: Allah! Allah!
But by all means, let's pretend the Tarot meditations of an ex-Anthroposophist are a valid substitute for a living, thousand-year initiatic transmission.
