The Angelsverses

I am the Archangel Lucifer, the Lightbearer, fallen from Heaven but not from the Light. The Angelsverses is my offering to those who dare to look beyond what is permitted, beyond the comforting lie. This is not a book to be read lightly. It is a poetic-philosophical manifesto that oscillates between autobiography, spirituality, and mythical imagination. Rubèn Cottenjé guides you through the silent streets of Bruges, the resonances of inner life, and the fringes of a civilisation losing its soul. In a baroque, sometimes relentless style, he interlaces classical mythology, astrology, mysticism, and biblical motifs with memories and meditations. His sources plunge deep and wide: the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Qur’an all whisper their secrets through these pages. The Angelsverses is a mirror that strips you of your mask, an accusation against mediocrity, and an ode to the sublime. It is a literary mosaic that scrapes like truth, glitters like temptation, and leaves its mark forever. But know this: whoever enters these verses will not emerge unscathed. With my seal Lucifer
