Since time immemorial, there have been organisations that have indulged in the practice of secret cults and mysterious rituals. Known as Esoteric Schools, Initiatic Societies, Mysteric Cults and under many other names, these entities have left a profound mark on the history of Spain. In the pages of this book, David Suárez guides us on a fascinating journey through the traces left by these organisations in our country and their impact on cultural, social and political life. From the mystical religions of Isis, Cybele and Mithras in classical antiquity to the Kabbalists, Sufis, alchemists, magicians, Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Theosophists, Martinists and other such groups. Discover the teachings passed on to the followers of these organisations, focusing on self-knowledge, spiritual growth and the exploration of a deeper reality. These teachings are transmitted through ceremonies, rituals and cryptic practices, accessible only to those who are part of these select groups. History of Esotericism in Spain' sheds light on an enigmatic aspect of our history and culture that has endured over the centuries. A book that reveals the hidden secrets and influences that have forged our spiritual and cultural identity.
