Christian Chensvold

Christian Chensvold is a college fencing champion, third-generation astrologer, and lifelong connoisseur of the Belle Époque (1880–1914). He is the author of the Decadent Chronicles column in Arktos Journal, which has also featured his essays on Julius Evola and the French Occult Revival. His previous books include Dark Stars: Heroic Spirituality in the Age of Decadence and The Philosophy of Style. From 2004–2025 he ran Dandyism.net, taking inspiration from Charles Baudelaire’s assertion that dandyism was “the last stroke of heroism in times of decadence.”
