We ignore the meaning of the dragon,

how we ignore the meaning of the universe,

but there is something in the image of him that agrees with the imagination of men,

and so the dragon in different latitudes and ages.

[In the image we can see the skull of a dragon and its spine that curls until it ends in the tail, so that it forms a spiral enriched with Celtic decorations. In the cross of the medallion we see the skeleton of the dragon with wings spread in the pose of a "wind rose". A compass to orient ourselves and discover our Magical Spain, a dragon of the winds that flies over our Iberian Peninsula from north to south, this way to the west to marvel at our hidden treasures. Bordering the beast, the legend Creaturae Iberiae and Celtic motifs]

La Verdadera Destreza, the Spanish tradition of fencing based on geometry—the mathematics of combat: angles (for the hands and arms) and circles (for the feet and distances) against the enemy—that dates back from the beginning of the Golden Age to the 19th century, represents a titanic effort to bring order to the chaos that a sword duel entails. This Spanish martial art was documented for the first time in the treatise "On the Philosophy of Weapons and their Dexterity and Christian Aggression and Defense" back in 1582.

Whether or not the story about Don Pelayo and the battle of Covadonga is more reliable is told: if it was in 718 or 722, the number of participants according to the chronicles, recent studies talking about a riot of four uncles, what if it ended Reconquista was coined in contemporary times... the truth is that myths and legends convey to us the vision of what our ancestors believed, felt and lived at that time —let's stop judging the past with today's values"—, and That collective feeling and thought at that key moment, that fact, was the flame that lit and motivated the slow but persistent advance towards the south in that process of recovery of the lost kingdom, the so-called Reconquista, towards the definitive unity of Christian kingdoms, concluded with the capture of Granada in 1492.

"Tradition is not a childish and outmoded mythology but a science that is terribly real"

The thinker, philosopher and poet Frithjof Schuon, promoter of the Sophia Perennis —influenced by the work of René Guenón—, and philosopher of the metaphysical current of Shankara and Plato, scholar of Christianity, Islam and Sufism, advocated the "Unity Transcendent of Religions" (above the devotional, totemic, animist, shamanic, telluric or lunar religions of a matrix nature where the possibility of Awakening to the Supersensible Reality or to the Supreme Principle that is found at the origin of the Cosmos is not conceived) as an antidote to modern nihilism.

Tradition, understanding this not as folklore or customs but as a reflection on the physical plane of the Transcendent reality, as a bridge between heaven and earth. Thus, man is not shielded before transcendence, he can come to see the light and update that transcendent seed within himself. An initiatory path of the hero to update the spirit that we carry in potential to conquer eternity, transmuting us into unconditioned sacred warriors of the world of becoming.

Let us think of Rome and its solar spirituality, of the Greek Dorians of Apollonian worship, that lineage that founded Sparta, of the Celtiberians with their warrior brotherhoods and the mors triunphalis, of the ascetic warrior cavalry of the High Middle Ages, of the Arthurian cycle, the Temple , the Holy Roman Empire, Taoism, Tantrism, the Vedas, the samurai and Zen Buddhism… where Tradition was very much alive…

That traditional world that also considered that the forces of nature were alive, they had a soul. Nature and the universe was someone. There was a sacral interpretation of virgin nature. From the Plains Indians —Schuon "saw something of the nobility and majesty of the Primordial tradition"—, the Celts, the Slavs, the Germans, classical Greece or ancient China.

Thus, there are clues in the world of Tradition to enliven the Sophia Perennis and face the darkness of the modern world or kali-yuga. The world of Tradition as an antidote to the Modern world.

February 27, 380, the emperor Theodosius abolished the religion and festival of the Sun Invictus by the famous edict of Thessalonica. Until then the Romans worshiped the Sun god during the Republic, and with greater prominence in the Imperial era, since the gradual entry of different religions of salvation of monotheistic tendency, such as Christianity and Mithrism, was giving greater weight to the power of the star king, the one who conquered the darkness ...

Emperor Aurelian made it official on December 25 as the day of the birth of the Undefeated Sun (the main divinity of the Roman pantheon at that time) back in the year 274 and later Juliano the Apostate would declare Helios (Greek equivalent) as the only divinity, and would try to prevent the spread of growing Christianity.

Finally, during a long process of syncretism, both the Festival of the Birth of the Invincible Sun "Dies Natalis Solis Invicti" held after the Winter Solstice, when daylight increased, as well as many other acts and celebrations were gradually reconverted. Paganism would come to an end, a new stage would begin with a victorious sun reborn in the arms of a Galilean.

October 12, Hispanic Day. They have asked us to launch something commemorative for the date and we have been thinking about how to approach the Conquest without being dragged by the Black Legend or by chauvinism or irrational nationalism, an exclusive jingoism in many cases. Nor did we want to go into details and nuances about the differences between civilizing empires versus predatory empires, or disquisitions about rights, cruelties and benefits.

This memory is perhaps more metaphysical and spiritual, an approach oriented to the epic, the deed, the courage, the patriotism and the identity of the peoples. Influence the epic of some brave men whose gods were born in Extremadura and who, dressed in swords, breastplate and morion, jumped into the sea seeking glory and fortune for their Empire, and who faced other mythical and honorable giants, strong and powerful warriors protected by their gods of War and the Sun, who worshiped the rain and the stars in their imposing temples and who fought fiercely while beating their drums carved in ahuehuete wood - Huehuetl is thought to have a mystical and ancestral sense , because its sound is related to the heart of the earth.

Thinking about the dimensions of that historic journey and that encounter, remembering those men on both sides of the pond is what we have intended with this design, a look at that world in which life hung by a thread, and in that being, courage, honor and spirit had a value that today we can hardly imagine.

It is a search and an encounter, when all the paths lead us to self-flagellation, to tricks and patches that have little or nothing to do with the true meaning of life, when accelerated technique envelops us and misleads us, camouflages the way, when the ruins of the past are those ruins that inspire but do not resurrect, then it seems that nothing remains, but the sterile contemplation of decadent nihilism or the addition / addiction to the "heroine" of modernity. Here then is a path to travel the world, our world, an awakening of self-knowledge, the path of the left hand for the kali yuga, an opportunity to conquer oneself, to taste the poison and turn it into an elixir, to be a test and an example. in front of our friends and enemies, to muddy us, to make mistakes and to rectify if necessary. Make the Dark Ages our stage and theater of life, our forger of character, our spiritual nourishment — along with the sources of perennial wisdom — to overcome, conquer and liberate ourselves.

Fateful times we have had to live, a great darkness hangs over the spirit. In the midnight of the world the fight against the dragon is waiting for you. Arm yourself with strength and wisdom for the inner conquest, remember that the ego absorbs you, its tyranny controls you, do not back down, it is your heroic moment, the most vital and important in your life ...

At dawn the first shadow falls on Jaén lands, towards the heart of the Eastern Sierra Morena. Giant, imposing, on his broad chest his black eagle, the arrano beltza, which he proudly carries as he breaks the chains and crosses the barrier of African slaves who protect the caliph. They have taken away his great treasure, his precious emerald. Miramamolín el Verde flees, the Navarrese forces of Sancho "the strong" have dealt the final blow on the army of the Almohad Empire.
