Hesse’s Journey to the East (1951) in the fifties anticipated the occult revival of the late sixties. But who will interpret for us the amazing success of Rosemary’s Baby and 2001? I am merely asking the question.

About Mircea Eliade

Mircea Eliade (13 March 1907 {O.S. 28 February} – 22 April 1986) was a Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago. His most enduring and influential contribution to religious studies was possibly his theory of Eternal Return, which holds that myths and rituals do not simply record or imitate hierophanies, but, at least to the minds of the religious, actually participate in them.

Additional quotes by Mircea Eliade

Slăbiciunea noastră, a modernilor, e că în loc să gândim, gândurile ne gândesc pe noi. Noi stăm molâi, femei adipoase, lubrice, nesatisfăcute, și gândurile ne violentează, ne schingiuiesc, ne vând altora, iar noi nu protestăm, ci le lăsăm să ne stăpânească, să ne îndrepte pașii, să ne prostitueze oricărui adevăr care le satisface pe ele, nu pe noi.
