Summary/Abstract: Thinking of Mircea Eliade, his work and his thought, for us, the young, the task of presenting such a huge momentum in the history of thought and ideas seems almost impossible. For there has always been held that conventional frames, generated by conventional signs are not enough for expressing the structure of religious thought or experience, because we live in a too conventional world, but the words of some special people remain as fragments of a revelation, if we are allowed to say, representing a perennial fountain of knowledge. It is the experiential, ontic aspect of the religious fact that we sought to depict in the reflections of this article.
