ON THE NEED LIST.

Sergius Golowin (geb. 1930) . Born on 31 January 1930 in Prague (Tschechien). Librarian, Volkskundler, myth researcher and writer. If 1933 came into the city Berne, animates today in Allmendingen.

Golowin lies within that range, which we call today in an extensive sense “Esoterik”. Better however probably the designation than myth researchers with a slope is to the magic one with it. The term of the Esoterik as term by the hiding and/or the teachings (secret knowledge), hidden of, becomes understandable with its literature-archaeological journeys. Golowin belongs to the most important writers of that generation of Esoterikern, which worked themselves out v.a. in the course of the ecological movement from the pure Esoterik and became socially active. So Golowin was also politically active: of 1971-1981 as a member of the Bernese large advice (today: Government advice). In the history of art it (occasionally) is assigned to a fantastic realism (see also: magic realism in the literature of South America). That he wrote also important volkskundliche writings (among other things over Jeni in Europe), shows Golowins meaning beyond the range of the pure Esoterik. Its place he also earned himself here, as important collecting tanks of old legends from the alpine region. With its way to regenerate and to the present and future transfer the past in certain ranges (rather hidden), it stands in the coming tradition of a post office-modern Integralitaet. Because the present is always connected with the past, from which it followed, and which future, into which it flows. From Golowins work one can also derive that time consciousness (in addition to space consciousness) is an important factor of the post office-modern Integralitaet.
