BARCELONA 2014 146_edited.jpg

It is, that of Barcelona, one of the most unique and, at the same time, enigmatic cathedrals of all those metaphorical beacons of Culture and hermetic Knowledge, which, from well into the 12th century, began to shine, underpinning the vital spirit of a Europe was beginning to leave behind the darkness that followed the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the subsequent period of confusion and chaos that derived from such an event and is known as the Early Middle Ages.

In addition to also being one of the few cathedrals not consecrated to the figure of the Virgin Mary, it has, however, the added question, not exempt from buried esotericism, of having, in the facilities of its genuine cloister, a true Garden of the Goose, formed by an unalterable colony of these emblematic animals, which, always in number thirteen, would represent the wounds inflicted in the martyrdom of the female character to whom the cathedral is truly dedicated: Saint Eulalia.

Es, la de Barcelona, una de las catedrales más singulares y a la vez, enigmáticas de todos esos metafóricos faros de Cultura y de hermético Cocimiento, que, a partir de bien terciado el siglo XII, comenzaron a brillar, apuntalando el espíritu vital de una Europa que comenzaba a dejar atrás las oscuridades que sucedieron a la caída del Imperio Romano de Occidente y el consiguiente período de confusión y de caos que se derivó de tal suceso y que se conoce como la Alta Edad Media.

Además de ser, también, una de las pocas catedrales no consagradas a la figura de la Virgen María, tiene, no obstante, añadida la cuestión, no exenta de soterrado esoterismo, de poseer, en las instalaciones de su genuino claustro, un verdadero Jardín de la Oca, formado por una colonia inalterable de estos emblemáticos animales, que, siempre en número de trece, representarían las heridas infligidas en el martirio del personaje femenino al que verdaderamente está dedicada la catedral: Santa Eulalia.
