Status Updates From Смерть богов. Юлиан Отступник

The book is also a reactionary work , written in times of spiritual crisis. Falls into a dichotomous portrayal of good old paganism and destructive Christianity, which I find pretty uninteresting.

I feel like it’s one of those occultist cliches that misunderstand hermetic philosophy and medieval magic and occultism. In a very modern way … very reactionary too. I sense that they were a bit traumatized by Christianity. It’s not reflective of deep metaphysical realities , but promethean sentimentalism.

Russian symbolists have a peculiar theme where they are a bit obsessed with shifting to the other side .I think they romanticize him a bit because in both the Fury angel and The death of the Gods , the protagonist is asked to denounce Christ and after he does, he is told that to serve God he must serve Satan .
