Ya, I had never heard any of his speeches before some of them were posten on the VOR network. He was very intriguing and was refreshingly knowledgeable in the subtleties of western culture. He claimed that Julius Evola was a self described "Catholic Pagan", although I have yet to come across that in any of Evola's texts. Bowden also had some interesting ideas concerning religion, although they appear superficial when compared to his otherwise impressive erudition (I belive he once referred to himself as spiritual but not religious, and claimed that spiritual experiences are merely the result of heightened emotion). I was also impressed with his ability to analyze WWII from a sober and "objective" perspective.....his art on the other hand is an area I have yet to explore.....
