Because paganism is actually life affirming and shows us how we can order our lives to reach for transcendence in earthly life. Abrahamism focuses on the “separation” of the worldly and divine, and concludes that we’re inherently bad and should feel guilty for existing

Genesis is about the seperation of Man and the Divine (the Fall), but this is always seen as a bad thing in Abrahamic religions, no?

That’s an interesting thought actually, that the “fall and redemption” story could be a spin on the “golden age>kali yuga>repeat” cycle. I just feel like Christianity spoils easily when it strays from its esoteric/perennial roots, and I find Gnosticism to be a better alternative

Surely, every tradition spoils when the esoteric is lost
