Its name has to do with the “power of the Fire-the Ur of the Mediterranean magical tradition,” which “is also called slancio agita-numi (god-stirring impulse).” Its most famous member is Julius Evola (1898–1974), a leading thinker of the Traditionalist school, who learned many of his most important ideas from this group. Introduction to Magic is a three-volume collection of articles by members of the UR group, who were Italian esotericists writing mostly in the late 1920s. ![]() A genuine beginner in occult magic would find it difficult to swim through this collection. ![]() 453 pp., paper, $29.99.Īlthough it is an accurate translation of the Italian original, the title of this book cannot be taken at face value. ![]() Julius Evola and the UR Group translated by Joscelyn Godwin ![]()
