“Keep the satanic towers in sight, for the signal will come from there.”

Thus the devil in person, in his liturgical book, hints at the existence of satanic towers from which his malefic influence radiates across the world.
This subject was also addressed by René Guénon, who mentioned the devil’s towers in passages of his works. In his essay René Guénon et les Sept Tours du Diable, Jean-Marc Allemand traced the references to this theme found in Guénon’s writings. On this basis, the author also draws a map showing the locations of the seven towers, which form the shape of the Great Bear (Ursa Major), being situated in Sudan, Nigeria, Syria, Iraq, Turkestan, Western Siberia at the mouth of the Ob River, and on an island in the Kara Sea.
Connected to each of these towers is a counter-initiatory power analyzed in Allemand’s study: the manifestation of evil alludes to the revolt of the warrior caste against the priestly caste. As for the towers of Sudan and Nigeria, they are linked to the satanic attributes of the Egyptian god Seth and refer to the conflict between the sedentary population of Northern Egypt, based on agriculture, and that of Southern Egypt, where groups of nomads who lived by plunder swarmed.
Traditions speaking of these southern populations tell of werewolves and secret societies that practiced witchcraft and cannibalism.
Furthermore, Seth was represented with the head of an ass, and the sinister aspects of this animal would become a theme destined to span the centuries: in the Middle Ages, the feasts of the ass became a sort of exorcism to ward off evil.
The tower located in Syria is linked to the proverbial skill of the Phoenicians in deception and fraud. The history of this people, entirely founded on the commercial aspect, almost seems to anticipate the demonic developments of capitalist economy, which in our day celebrates its final victory!
The tower located in Iraq is the biblical Tower of Babel: a striking metaphor for modern globalism and its boundless hybris.
The towers located in Turkestan and Siberia are said to refer to shamanic practices aimed at black magic and the evocation of demons.
After surveying the places that form this infernal geography, Allemand retraces Guénon’s theses on the degeneration of Western culture, with particular reference to the events surrounding the Templars: for Guénon, the destruction of the Order of the Temple by the King of France is the most evident manifestation of the revolt of secular power against priestly authority. This path of spiritual death would continue with the Protestant Reformation, the French Revolution, democracy, and communism, all the way to the current globalized apocalypse that concludes the long series of anti-Christian epiphanies, marking the triumph of counter-initiation.
Reading Guénon is extremely illuminating for interpreting events that are only disseminated under the sugary guise of “official history,” and the theme of the satanic towers is one of the most fascinating among those treated by the French esotericist.
If it is true that the devil is the counterfeiter par excellence, ideological modernity is truly the Kingdom of Satan! How else can one explain the impressive phenomenon of collective autosuggestion that induces the masses to take the most absurd lies for truth and has transformed people into psychic corpses?
