Guenon was not one to destroy the edifices of a belief or doctrine without also expounding the real teaching of which it is a distortion or corruption.
Guenon saw that within the Kali Yuga these teachings were becoming debased and that these traditions were loosing their link to the perennial wisdom, as such they were becoming atrophied and even, in some cases, becoming counter traditions.
