Beschreibung

Reading the works of Arturo Reghini - Pythagoricus Latomusque Insignis (Pythagorean and distinguished Freemason), as his tombstone is engraved in the Budrio cemetery - cannot fail to remind us how he was an absolute giant of Western initiatory thought, a giant whose memory today he is inexplicably clouded and neglected, also and above all in that free-masonry environment which would also have the moral duty not only to remember and rediscover him every day, but to treasure his studies and his precious teachings. But precisely in certain areas, which still owe him so much today, his figure is today considered “uncomfortable” or “cumbersome” and is therefore wronged by not remembering it, condemning it to a sort of tacit damnatio memoriae.
The short but profound and inspiring biography of Arturo Reghini that we present today to our English-speaking readers was written in 1947 by Giulio Parise, a close friend and main collaborator and disciple of the great Florentine initiate. It was published by Parise the same year in the magazine of initiatory studies Mondo Occulto ( Occult World), a few months after the death of its Master.

ARTURO REGHINI, A MASTER AND A GIANT OF WESTERN INITIATORY TRADITION

By Nicola Bizzi

As the Italian scholar Moreno Neri rightly stated in his books, it is always good to keep alive the memory of Arturo Reghini and it is even more excellent to re-propose his writings, as drinking water from Italic spring is not only healthy but decisive for to have the right point of spiritual orientation in one’s inner search.

Reading the works of Arturo Reghini - Pythagoricus Latomusque Insignis (Pythagorean and distinguished Freemason), as his tombstone is engraved in the Budrio cemetery - cannot fail to remind us how he was an absolute giant of Western initiatory thought, a giant whose memory today he is inexplicably clouded and neglected, also and above all in that free-masonry environment which would also have the moral duty not only to remember and rediscover him every day, but to treasure his studies and his precious teachings. But precisely in certain areas, which still owe him so much today, his figure is today considered “uncomfortable” or “cumbersome” and is therefore wronged by not remembering it, condemning it to a sort of tacit damnatio memoriae. But why does this happen?

Perhaps because Arturo Reghini, better than anyone else in his time, was able to attack a certain model of post-Enlightenment Freemasonry, a Freemasonry no longer having as its goal the perfection of man, of the single man (on the basis of a real individual initiatory process and interior), but the more generic one of humanity as a whole, of the human “collectivity”, a Freemasonry transformed into a reconciliation halfway between a ramshackle “army of salvation” or a charitable association, and a mere business circle more interested in political and social issues than in initiatory elevation. A Freemasonry in which, as he rightly denounced in his writings, «the perfection of the individual is inexorably placed in the background, if not neglected, forgotten and ignored».
