The Foundations of Zamolxiana New Religious Movement An Introduction to Romanian Reconstructionist Native Faith
Mircea Eliade, the well known Romanian scholar of studies in the history of
religions, in his work Diario portugués (1941-1945),1 made a personal confession
that reverberated with me over the years. Eliade wrote, under the date 5th of
September 1942:
Basically, the tragedy of my life can be reduced to this formula: I am a pagan – a perfect
classical pagan – trying to make a Christian of myself. For me, cosmic rhythms, symbols,
signs, magic, sexuality – exist more largely and more “immediately” than the problem of
salvation. The best part of myself I’ve devoted to this problem, but without being able to
take one step forward.2
