Krur was a very important Italian esoteric magazine founded and directed by Julius Evola in January 1929. It arose after fierce internal clashes within the Ur Group, a magical and occult fellowship active in Rome in the twenties. The context and the birth The split: In 1927 and 1928 the group published the magazine Ur. After a rupture between Julius Evola and the Pythagorean Arturo Reghini, Evola took editorial control of the project. The new name: He replaced the old masthead by founding Krur in 1929. The name retains the same mysterious root linked to power and the initiatory fire. The closure: The magazine ceased publication in December 1929. With the last issue, Evola declared the end of his esoteric, strictly operative phase. Contents and aims of the Group Science of the Self: The articles offered instructions for spiritual awakening and magic conceived as high inner realization. Ancient traditions: They rejected modern spiritualism and Theosophy. They favored Hermeticism, Neoplatonism, and the ancient Roman tradition. Use of pseudonyms: The authors (including Evola himself, who signed as Agrippa or Ea) wrote under false names to give importance to ideas rather than to people.
