The Esoteric World of Federico García Lorca. Only Mystery Makes Us Live

Federico García Lorca was described by those who knew him as a magical man, medium, chosen one, confidant of goblins, friend of witches, and of cosmic nature. It was said that he possessed paranormal abilities, telluric faculties, and a sixth sense that defied logic. There was an "other Federico, the one from beyond," whose esoteric and occult dimension this book explores rigorously and based on direct sources.

Ismael Ramos Jiménez examines Lorca's connections with esotericism present in his life and his poetic, theatrical, and visual work. The text is aimed both at people interested in the figure and creation of the poet and in esoteric themes, addressing for the first time in a monograph his occult facet and deciphering cryptic meanings in his writings.

Among its pages are spiritualist practices, secret doctrines (theosophy, freemasonry), esoteric philosophies, superstitions, clairvoyance, fantastic beings, rituals and death exorcisms, unsettling premonitions, and extraordinary narratives, always with mystery and the inexplicable as a backdrop.
