Mircea Eliade Style

[Samovar McGee]

Mircea Eliade is one of my heroes. As quoted from Wikipedia:

Mircea Eliade (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈmirt͡ʃe̯a eliˈade]; March 13 [O.S. February 28] 1907 - April 22, 1986) was a Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago. He was a leading interpreter of religious experience, who established paradigms in religious studies that persist to this day. His theory that hierophanies form the basis of religion, splitting the human experience of reality into sacred and profane space and time, has proved influential. One of his most influential contributions to religious studies was his theory of Eternal Return, which holds that myths and rituals do not simply commemorate hierophanies, but, at least to the minds of the religious, actually participate in them

If that isn't enough, his stylin' self is also my avatar. What's more, he looked good in an ascetic's robe.

Mircea Eliade had drape before our species even knew what drape was. It was practically an archetype for him.
