Gabriel André Aucler
French lawyer and pagan revivalist / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gabriel André Aucler[lower-alpha 1] (mid 1700s–1815) was a French lawyer who after the French Revolution adopted the name Quintus Nautius and tried to reestablish pagan religiosity with himself as its leader. He created religious clothing for himself and conducted pagan rites at his house. He published a book in 1799, La Thréicie, which presents his religious views. His teachings became the subject of an essay by Gérard de Nerval, included in Les Illuminés in 1852.
