I like looking at an "Estate" as a spiritual thing. I've noticed for a while that the etherial comes before the material, like blueprints to a house, DNA to physical body, or a family to their home. A grand estate, referring to a physical building and beautiful grounds, is the result of the nobility of the nobles who originally built it. If that "upper crust" become degenerate, it's only a matter of time before their outer forms reflect the same.

Reading about Spengler's estates, especially the relationship between them in Faustian culture reminded me a lot of what Evola said about the Catholic church and the great chain of being from peasant to God. The Estates organised early Faustian culture to that end.

Interesting. I keep hearing the likes of Academic Agent talk about Evola. I should look into his work.

I think Morgoth did a video on this some years back as well, might be worth a check.
