To my delight, Evola's response IS included in the recent English translation by Fulgur Press. I will be incorporating his comments into my essay. While Carrouges mythologizes Breton into an occult master, Evola identifies Surrealism as more or less a secular larp.

Happy Sabbath

Rimbaud has such a way with words

Helene Smith was Andre Breton's favorite medium and "The Muse of Automatic Writing" of the Surrealists. She claimed to communicate with Martians, produced a Martian Script through automatic writing, and began painting the Martian scenes she saw in her visions.

There is an interesting parallel between Dali and Breton in the first few pages. Both may have been "replacement" children named after their deceased brothers and both felt haunted by it. Charles Duits recalled Breton speaking about, "the phantom that hounded him. 'Robert, his name is Robert. (Robert is Breton's middle name) I see this person every night. He's my brother, you know. My brother Robert. No, I never had a brother. But that's precisely why these dreams are so abominable...'" Dali spoke about his brother much more openly. Here is just one of many occurences: "Throughout the whole of my childhood and youth I lived with the perception that I was a part of my dead brother. That is, in my body and my soul, I carried the clinging carcass of this dead brother because my parents were constantly speaking about the other Salvador."

«This royal path has long been trod By righteous men, each now a God: As Abra’m, Isaac, Jacob, too, First babes, then men, to gods they grew. As man now is, our God once was; As now God is, so man may be, Which doth unfold man’s destiny.» — Lorenzo Snow

Apparently Breton also corresponded with Julius Evola for his survey on "Art Magic," but as far as I'm aware Evola's response is only available in French editions of L'Art Magique. I am tempted to buy it to see what he said since Evola, like Breton, was once a Dadaist.

«By 1930, after having furiously and methodically composed my novel ... I was visited almost daily by Loplop, Bird Superior, a private phantom very much attached and devoted to me.» «Loplop is a peculiar phantom attached to my person, sometimes winged, invariably male.» «I am visited almost daily by the Superior Bird Loplop — my private phantom. He gives me a heart in a cage, two flower petals, three leaves, a flower and a young girl.» «And Loplop, bird superior, has transformed himself into flesh without flesh and will dwell among us...» — Max Ernst

«Max Ernst dies the 1st of August 1914. He resuscitated the 11th of November 1918 as a young man aspiring to become a magician and to find the myth of his time.» — Max Ernst

«Modern man, instead of attempting to raise himself to truth, seeks to drag truth down to his own level.» — Rene Guenon

I wasn't familiar with your game Dali...

«Down on his knees, the mystical artist will see, as fruit of his inquisitorial virtue, exercised from the moment of sleep as far as the Lilliputian phosphenes brought about by the slightest digestive mishaps, he will see, singing with joy.» — Salvador Dali

«Surrealism is the sign of the times, and Robert Desnos is its prophet. A man exists who dreams out loud, without sleeping.» — Andre Breton «I have absolutely not controlled my prophecies. I have written what this unknown breath that carries me has dictated to me. Whatever happens, you never go wrong spirit, breath, inspiration.» — Robert Desnos
