Barcelona and Hermeticism

In his admirable and perhaps not well understood book Modelo de espaldas, Samoan writer Albert Hanover wrote his book in exactly seventy-three pages, which is the number of names of God according to the Kabbalah, including the secret name which gives access to the real world and true life and according to Hanover, can also be found hidden somewhere in the work of Cervantes, LXIIII chapter of the second part of the ingenious Don Quixote, in which he is defeated by the false knight of the white Moon, who had previously presented as a false knight of the mirrors on the beach of Barcelona Spain.

 

For Hanover it is not a coincidence that the fateful battle that took place in Barcelona, and he has no hesitation in supporting that fact on a rich analysis that introduces a full text book in the Renaissance Hermetic tradition in the telluric properties of Barcelona, favored without doubt because of its privileged location between sea and mountains, as described in prehistoric times through dolmens and megaliths carefully placed at points particularly suited for flows and electrical transmissions, and whose most unique modes of expression are streams groundwater that fed more than eight hundred wells that the city had.

 

Although the efforts of Hanover can be described as eccentric and parodic – despite the inveterate affinity of many of critics for interpreting the writer of Samoa, perhaps too literally – it is clear that Barcelona is given a wonderful path for all kinds of hermeneutical, prone to magic and mystery that insist on presenting it as one of the greatest cities on the map, painted with secret fire of the alchemical tradition. From the rare vitality of the secret of the Catalan Rosicrucian societies -connected with Gnostic cabalistic and traditions of the nearby Girona and Provence – the amazing symbolism found in modernism, reaching the sublime to the shocking bestiary and enigmatic and sinuous forms of the Gaudí architecture, to the intriguing octagonal design of the blocks of the Eixample designed by the franc-masón Ildefonso Cerdá. It is no possible to deny the arguments to support that Barcelona could seem hermetic for anyone.
