Aki Cederberg

He has written books about Indian religions and European modern paganism, including Journeys in the Kali Yuga (2017) and Pyhä Eurooppa (lit.

[1] Interested in spiritual matters from an early age, he explored Western esotericism and the works of Aleister Crowley before moving into European modern paganism, which he defines as having a mythopoetic view of the world.

[3][4] Cederberg uses this to argue that humans need a sense of sanctity and significance in life, which he contrasts with materialism and exploitation.

The book discusses how European cultural and spiritual heritage has become associated with nationalist and far-right politics, something Cederberg renounces.

[3] Ville Hytönen [fi] of Turun Sanomat highlighted and complimented the book's argument about a human need to connect to previous generations, which both capitalism and the Soviet Union have been unable to fulfill.
