In ancient legends and sacred myths, it wasn’t men but heroes who shaped the world. Among them stands the figure of the Solar Warrior—a radiant archetype of courage, fidelity, and spiritual clarity—who unites strength and virtue to illuminate the darkest corners of human existence. In this powerful opening volume of The Solar Warrior trilogy, Miguel A. Fernandez invites the reader on a sweeping journey through history and myth to rediscover this heroic force within ourselves and our culture.
From the dawn of civilizations to the mystical heights of the Knights Templar, Origins, Rise and Decline explores how the Solar Warrior once guided empires, philosophies, and sacred orders. But as time passed, this archetype faded. The book charts its decline in the post-Renaissance West—when the spiritual flame dimmed, and a soulless Techno-System began to rise in its place, driven by blind force and disconnected knowledge.
This volume offers not only a rich cultural narrative but a compelling philosophical lens through which to understand the modern world’s spiritual crisis. Drawing upon giants like Nietzsche, Roszak, Ellul, Mumford, and Evola, Fernandez reconstructs the forgotten lineage of the warrior-sage and sets the foundation for the upcoming volumes: The Eclipse and A New Hope.
At once visionary and grounded, this book is a call to remember: there is no future without first remembering the fire that forged us.
