Abstract: As a historian and philosopher of religions, a gifted narrator and talented essayist, with a fascinating work of articles, studies and research volumes, Mircea Eliade must be discovered and decrypted in a religious key, leaving aside the confusion ethnic – aesthetic. Thus, Eliade affirms his own credo, writing that inside the same ethnical mass, the culture is produced not by the ethnic fibre, it is produced by a bouquet of nuclei developed spiritually, most of the time by religion ... the mystic experience – the functional actualisation of the religious reality – being the only effective one. In this context, his friend Petre Ţuţea, wrote that Eliade must be thought/understood inside the existential triangle God-human-nature, a triangle ruled by the category of the archetypal sacred and of the symbol, meaning the All-including Real, the unique cause of all things.
