Islam, though an “Abrahamic” religion, purports to “correct” the distortions and lies that the Jews and Christians have added to Allah’s pure revelation; rather than wallowing in smug “folly” like the Christians, the Arabs preserved and developed Greek wisdom; reasonably enough, they took over Greek pederasty as well as pedagogy.

Leaving aside the charges of child molestation, as “unproven,” Schuon on his own evidence seems almost to have, after moving to Indiana, come under the influence of fellow Midwesterner William Burroughs, devising a synthesis (despite Guénon’s condemnation of such “syncretism”) of Islam and Native American rites, which among other things required him to dance about clothed only in a “specially designed mini-loincloth.” One might even welcome him as a prototypical Wild Boy were it not for the hypocrisy of his animus towards homosexuality.

Is Whitall Perry “unqualified” as Evola calls his tormentors? Perhaps not; he is the author of some incisive essays, reprinted in Whitall N. Perry, Challenges to a Secular Society (Oakton, Va.: Foundation for Traditional Studies, 1996), as well as the editor of the monumental and invaluable Treasury of Traditional Wisdom: An Encyclopedia of Humankind’s Spiritual Truth (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1971; Louisville, Ky.: Fons Vitae, 2000). In the latter work, the titular excerpts of wisdom are arranged by topics, within an overall structure, not unlike Mortimer Adler’s A Synopticon: An Index to The Great Ideas, vols. 2 and 3 of Great Books of the Western World, 54 vols. (Chicago: Encyclopædia Britannica, 1952), while modern Traditionalists are quoted in the introductions, really mini-essays, to each topic, thereby avoiding the danger of seeming to elevate them to the level of revelation. However, curiously enough, Perry chooses to quote, along with the expected Guénon, Schuon, and Coomaraswamy—Daniélou! Thus, if Perry is qualified, then so is Daniélou, with the latter having the additional qualification of actual experience, of both traditional society . . . and homosexuality.

“As with most formal customs of etiquette, there are considered to be right and wrong ways to present and use a finger bowl, and these can differ. The acceptability of floating lemon or of using the finger bowl to wet the mouth, for example, are disputed. Unfamiliarity with this custom has led to many common faux pas, including drinking the water, eating the flower, or failing to move the doily with the bowl when shifting it off of the dessert plate.” Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_bowl.

The scene is recreated in Scarface (Brian de Palma, 1983) when Tony and Omar visit the Columbian drug lord Sosa. Tony is momentarily nonplussed but decides to eat the lemon. Omar pays no attention and uses it properly; I’m not sure if there was a point to this, but we already know Omar is a jerk-ass, and we are not surprised when he is soon hanging by his neck from Sosa’s helicopter.

It is interesting to compare what might be called the Family Values quotient represented by Jenner and, say, Baron Evola. Jenner, having married and fathered children, would seem to have fulfilled his duties to society, like any ancient Greek or Roman, and as with them any personal hobbies of his would not be any concern of the state. Evola, on the other hand, never married or, as far as we know, fathered any children. In fact, in his later works he heaps an elitist scorn on the whole idea (or “obsession,” he would say, thinking of Mussolini’s population policies) that a large and rising population is essential to, or a sign of, a rising and dynamic state; the examples of 19th century Britain and India should be enough to make his point. Jenner can also be seen to fit with the transition from the Householder stage to a—as we’ve said somewhat misunderstood and dangerously misapplied—version of the Forest-dweller stage of the Hindu tradition, where those who have married and raised children are allowed to abandon them and pursue ascetic disciplines (as opposed to the vulgar post-war American Dream—now inoperative anyway—of endless rounds of golf or whittling on the porch.

More likely, ephebophilia, which is well within the 16-year limit, but since no one wants to bother with such distinctions, we’ll let it stand. That a Roman pederast at this time would be romantic enough to be distraught at his boy’s illness is consistent with a shift in Roman culture under the influence of the Greeks. Conservatives and Traditionalists who purport to revere the Romans should take into consideration that traditional Roman culture really was essentially what feminists today call a “rape culture,” in which male c
itizens could basically do anything they wanted with women, slaves, or children. See Neil, op. cit.
