Summary/Abstract: This study presents a hermeneutics of the fantastic novel The Snake by Mircea Eliade in key of the problem of recovering the androgynous state of the couple Serge Andronic and Dorina. The mystical act is realized thanks to a profound experience of rediscovering the sacred and its inner experience, in a space that has become illo tempore. “Fallen” at the roots of the being, the characters face the numinous predicted by the other hidden me, “chained” by reality, so that only imagination guides them in the process of recovering a primordial state of totality both psychic in Jung’s sense and mythical, in the vision of the hermeneut Mircea Eliade.
