Featured Articles

Rostros Alienígenas: huellas imborrables de una convivencia con los humanos quedaron plasmados en piedra por diferentes culturas del México antiguo

This article by Eulogio Soto Mahe explores the idea that UFO phenomena and encounters with non-human beings have been part of human history since ancient times. It suggests that ancient art, sculpture, and writings from various cultures, particularly in Mexico, depict beings that could be interpreted as aliens. Examples cited include biblical accounts like Jacob's ladder and descriptions of figures resembling gods, dragons, or winged serpents. The article also mentions historical accounts of strange aerial objects and suggests that these encounters have left indelible marks on human culture and belief systems.

La primera guía de enigmas y misterios de la provincia de Huelva (1)

This section introduces a new book by Ignacio Garzón González, titled "Tarte4404 a Marte: Guía de Enigmas y Misterios de la Provincia de Huelva (1)". Published by Romero Libros, the book contains 27 articles investigating and divulging provincial enigmas and mysteries. It covers phenomena in the sky and on earth, Marian apparitions, ancestral rituals, natural enigmas, historical mysteries, and alleged satanic cults.

The accompanying text describes the plot of a novel by Javier Sierra, "El Ángel Perdido" (The Lost Angel), which begins in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The protagonist, Julia Álvarez, becomes involved in a search for two ancient stones, "adamantas," which are key to rescuing her husband, a climatologist who disappeared near the Turkish-Iranian border. These stones are sought by powerful figures in the US and a sect from Armenia. The narrative follows Julia on a journey filled with hidden messages and ancient myths.

Yetis y Osos: la lucha por el hábitat

Written by Javier Resines, this article reports on an unusual conflict occurring in the remote Siberian interior between bears and yetis. The displacement of yetis from their habitats, attributed to forest fires in Russia, has led them to compete with local bears for territory and food. The article cites an expedition that concluded that yetis have moved into the Kuzbass region, initiating a conflict with the bears. The cause is linked to forest fires that occurred the previous year, forcing many animal species to migrate. The article also touches upon the belief in forest spirits or "duendes" in local folklore, which are said to command respect from all animals, including bears.

Criptozoología: La expedición de este año, la tercera a dicho lugar, contó con participantes de renombre como el director del Centro Internacional de Hominologia Igor Burtsev...

This section, continuing the theme of Yetis, details Igor Burtsev's expedition in Siberia. Burtsev, director of the International Center of Hominology, claims that yetis are competing with bears and are often winning due to their strength and rudimentary intelligence. He suggests that yetis create "strange constructions" of logs and branches, possibly as territorial markers or communication points. The article also mentions local accounts of humanoid beings and the popular belief in forest spirits. It notes that the Russian publication "The Voice of Russia" has suggested these ancient beliefs may have a basis in reality. The text further discusses the possibility of yetis being telepathic and their ability to mimic human sounds, suggesting a new species of hominid. Recent witness testimonies are mentioned as providing hope for anthropologists at Kemerovo University.

Lo sagrado y lo patológico

Authored by José Antonio Plaza Rincón, this article likely explores the intersection of sacred beliefs and psychological or pathological conditions.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the unexplained, the paranormal, and the mysterious. There is a strong focus on UFOs, alien encounters, and cryptozoology, often drawing on historical accounts, folklore, and personal testimonies. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and investigative, presenting various theories and evidence without necessarily endorsing a single viewpoint. The magazine also seems to have a commitment to exploring local mysteries, as evidenced by the article on Huelva. The recurring theme of ancient connections between humanity and potential extraterrestrial or unknown entities is prominent throughout the issue.

This issue of "Misterios" (issue 135) delves into two primary, yet disparate, topics: the ongoing mystery of the Yeti in Siberia and the often-overlooked 'hidden face of football.' The magazine explores the cultural and scientific efforts to understand these phenomena, blending anecdotal evidence with historical context and societal impact.

The Siberian Yeti: A Persistent Mystery

The article begins by recounting recent alleged sightings of 'Yeti' creatures in the Shoria desert region of Siberia. One account details a man named Afanasi Kiskorov who claims to have encountered a large, agile creature covered in red and black fur, which appeared to be in distress after falling into a mountain river. The creature is described as being about 2.30 meters tall.

In an effort to legitimize and advance the study of these phenomena, officials from the Kemerovo Administration and local university experts are hopeful about proving the Yeti's existence. The establishment of an official research institute is seen as a logical step. The article notes that around thirty Russian scientists are reportedly dedicated to studying the 'abominable snowman' phenomenon. The Darwin Museum in Moscow is even mentioned as having a department dedicated to studying this creature.

Historically, the Soviet Union had a 'Commission for the Snowman' active from the 1950s into the 1980s, which collected information on the subject. Despite these efforts, the article points out the lack of photographic evidence to confirm the Yeti's existence, with only hair samples and large footprints being found. The interest from authorities is questioned, given the region's other pressing needs.

Some media outlets in the region express skepticism, suggesting that Siberia's limited entertainment options might foster fantasy. A similar case from the Caucasus region, involving a 'Yeti of the Caucasus,' also failed to produce conclusive evidence.

However, the potential for tourism is recognized as a significant driver for this interest. In November, the governor of the Kemerovo region, Amán Tuleyev, offered a reward of one million rubles (approximately 23,700 euros) for the discovery of the abominable snowman. He humorously stated that the prize winner would get to meet the Yeti. Tuleyev appears to be actively promoting tourism in the mining region through this initiative. This effort is complemented by a significant investment of 200 million rubles (about 4.8 million euros) in tourist infrastructure, including a ski resort and hotels.

The Hidden Face of Football

The second major section of the magazine shifts focus to the world of football, exploring its less visible aspects, from its historical roots to the deep-seated superstitions and rituals that surround it.

Historical Origins

The article traces the origins of football back to ancient China and Japan. In China, during the 25th century BC, the imperial army trained with a game similar to football, using a ball made of leather and filled with hair. In Japan, the game developed differently, with a focus on ritualistic and sometimes mortal contests.

The game evolved through various cultures, including the Romans, who played a game called 'haspartunt.' In Gaul (modern-day France), a game called 'soule' was played, which was eventually banned due to its violence. In classical Greece, a game called 'episkyros' was played, which may have influenced handball and rugby.

The 'Gioco del Calcio' in Italy, particularly during the Medici era, is highlighted as a precursor to modern football. Pietro Medici is credited with gathering skilled players, possibly as a means of social distraction.

The Modern Game and its Evolution

The development of modern football is largely attributed to efforts in England. In 1846, attempts were made to standardize the rules. In 1863, the Football Association (FA) was founded in London. The creation of the FA Cup was proposed by Charles Alcock. British soldiers, sailors, and officials played a key role in spreading the sport globally.

Magical Sport: Rituals and Superstitions

The magazine dedicates a significant portion to the 'magical' or mystical aspects of football. It describes the intense emotional atmosphere of stadiums, where fans project their hopes and fears onto the game. The article suggests that this collective energy might even be detectable from afar.

It details various rituals and superstitions observed by players and fans:

• Rituals before games: Players may make the sign of the cross, recall pleasant memories, or visualize the ball's trajectory. Some players, like Hristo Stoitchov, had specific routines, such as always stepping onto the field with their right foot first. Others avoid stepping on lines or perform religious gestures.
• Rituals after goals: Players often kiss their wedding rings, point to the sky to dedicate goals, or celebrate with teammates. Some, like Roberto "Bebeto" Gama de Oliveira, have celebrated the birth of a child by cradling an imaginary baby.
• Jerseys with messages: It has become common for players to wear shirts with messages underneath their official jerseys, often for personal reasons, solidarity with teammates, or to support causes.
• Rituals for winning or losing: In Colombia, teams have reportedly hired shamans or indigenous healers to ward off bad luck. In Spain, some teams have performed exorcisms or 'cleansing' rituals in stadiums and locker rooms.
• Lucky and unlucky numbers: The number '9' is considered lucky by some, and the number '12' represents fan support. However, the number '13' is widely seen as unlucky.
• Exchanges of jerseys: At the end of matches, players often exchange jerseys, believing they can absorb the opponent's strength or luck.
• Coin toss: The coin toss to decide ends is seen as a ritual symbolizing life's randomness.
• Referees: The article touches upon controversial refereeing decisions, citing an example from the 1934 World Cup in Italy where the refereeing was perceived to favor the home team.
• Player idols: Footballers are often elevated to god-like status, with players like Pelé being described as immortal.

Stadiums and Their Legends

The magazine highlights the mystical significance of football stadiums, describing them as 'places of power.'

• Stadiums with esoteric influence: Some stadiums have altars for celebrations or offerings.
• Stadiums with 'Gafe' (bad luck): Several stadiums are described as being cursed due to tragic events that occurred there. Examples include the Le Mans stadium (France), the National Stadium in Lima (Peru), the Heysel Stadium (Belgium), and Hillsborough Stadium (England), all of which have been sites of major disasters.
• Teams with catastrophic experiences: The article recounts the tragic air crash that killed the entire Torino football team in 1949, and the similar fate of the Alianza Lima team in the 1980s.

Psychological Pressure on Players

In South American countries like Argentina and Brazil, football is more than a sport; it's a way of life, offering a path out of poverty. This intense passion creates immense psychological pressure on young players, where a single mistake, like Escobar's own goal in the 1994 World Cup, can have fatal consequences.

Goalkeepers: The Solitary Figures

The role of the goalkeeper is emphasized as a position of profound solitude, requiring immense concentration and psychological fortitude. Legendary goalkeepers like Ricardo Zamora, Lev Yashin, and José Luis Chilavert are mentioned.

Curious Deaths and Unusual Incidents

The article lists several unusual deaths of notable footballers, including Matthias Sindelar, who died by suicide with his wife, and Juan Gómez 'Juanito,' who died in a car accident.

It also mentions the use of 'psychic power' and 'strategy telepathy' among teams, with coaches demanding mental projection and precognition from their players. The field itself is described as a place of power, with specific zones having symbolic meanings.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of the extraordinary and the mundane, whether it's the possibility of cryptids like the Yeti or the deeply ingrained, often irrational, beliefs and practices surrounding a popular sport like football. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry, presenting anecdotal evidence and historical accounts without necessarily endorsing them as fact, but rather as phenomena worthy of investigation and discussion. The recurring themes are mystery, the unexplained, the power of belief, and the cultural significance of both folklore and popular sports.

This issue of "Misterios" magazine, identified as number 135, features a prominent cover story titled "OVNIS: Una explicación personal" (UFOs: A Personal Explanation), presented as the second part of a series. The magazine delves into a variety of esoteric and paranormal topics, with a significant focus on UFOs, extraterrestrial contact, subterranean civilizations, and ancient legends.

Article: Ángeles O EXTRA TERRESTRES ... ¿LO MISMO?

Authored by Oscar L. Ferreyra Sosio, this article explores the concept of extraterrestrials, equating them with 'ángeles.' Sosio defines extraterrestrials as dimensional beings not originating from Earth, serving as messengers and providing pure, intelligent information. These beings are described as luminous, capable of manifesting 'ships' that resemble human constructions, and operating on mental and astral planes. They are said to adapt their appearance and communication to individuals or groups, having been observed more frequently in biblical times but now appearing to more people due to increased population and a 'crucial era.' Sosio suggests that while some may be perceived as ghosts, aliens, or gnomes, they are all dimensional and luminous. He posits that they manage information and are aware of human knowledge, influencing ideas through mental means. They are described as 'FORMS AND NO FORMS,' embodying mental, astral, and spiritual energy. Their existence is linked to 'LUZ' (light) and 'ONDAS' (waves), occupying inter-atomic and galactic spaces, and traveling at speeds approaching infinity.

Article: OVNI: IMPACTO EN LA CONCIENCIA

This section discusses the impact of UFOs on human consciousness, referencing Jacques Vallée's 1970s assertion that UFOs are a 'tuning of human evolution.' It traces the growing awareness of alien life since Arnold (1947) and H.G. Wells' 'The War of the Worlds,' suggesting that humanity is evolving towards interstellar travel. The article questions the purely physical nature of the cosmos, proposing that space might hold unknown and infinite energies. It suggests that exploring the psyche can lead to discovering the man's essence, which is akin to an 'angel,' and that the UFO phenomenon represents a new challenge shaping human consciousness.

Article: OVNIS: CONCIENCIA Y EVOLUCIÓN

This part of the magazine asserts that UFOs have always been present, observed as luminous objects throughout history. It attributes the lack of widespread recognition to less evolved human consciousness in earlier times. The text suggests that 'they' (referring to UFO entities) were perceived as 'phantoms' or 'apparitions' in certain eras. It defines UFOs as anything that 'IMPACTS like a light,' not necessarily in the sky. The article references the biblical vision of Ezekiel, interpreted by engineer Blumrich as a spacecraft, highlighting how different eras and perspectives interpret the same phenomena. It calls for a union of science and religion to understand the emergence of a new, more conscious humanity that perceives beyond the conventional. The section concludes by quoting Paul Eluard: 'There are other worlds, but they are in this one.'

Article: La otra cara de las revelaciones del Monte Shasta

This article, subtitled 'Una mirada crítica' (A Critical Look), focuses on Mount Shasta in California, a site known for its mystical significance and reverence among indigenous peoples. Its notoriety increased in the 1990s with the rise of the New Age movement and 'channelers.' The legend of Mount Shasta is linked to lost treasures, vanished civilizations, UFO phenomena, and unusual cloud formations. The article highlights the concept of a subterranean world and its connection to the 'hollow earth' theory. It mentions Dianne Robbins' book 'Telos: original transmission from the subterranean city beneath Mt. Shasta' (1996), which introduced the idea of Telos and its inhabitants, including Adama, who acted as a subterranean mentor.

Article: Crónicas Subterráneas (Subterranean Chronicles)

This multi-part series delves into various accounts and legends of subterranean civilizations. It begins by discussing the concept of 'Telos,' described as a city built to house two million people, with only 25,000 surviving a cataclysm. The article introduces 'Agartha,' a confederation of subterranean cities based on principles of light, love, and non-aggression. It mentions specific cities within Agartha, such as Shonshi (beneath Tibet) and Shingla (beneath the Gobi Desert), and refers to Atlantean cities like Poseida.

The text then recounts the story of Dianne Robbins and her book, which was inspired by a newsletter about a woman named Sharula, born in Telos. Sharula reportedly emerged in 1960 and was known as Bonnie. Robbins claims telepathic contact with Adama, a 'Master Ascended' from Telos, who guided her in channeling messages about subterranean cities. The article notes that Sharula Dux is a key figure, though Robbins is credited with publishing the messages. It also mentions Sharula Aurora Dux, who was presented as a native of New Mexico and part of the 'World Ascension Network,' claiming to be 236 years old but appearing 30.

Further sections of 'Crónicas Subterráneas' explore the writings of George Hunt Williamson ('Sacred Places of the Lion'), who described a tunnel leading to a subterranean city with hieroglyphs and artifacts, believed to be Lemurian. The article also references James Churchward (Mu), Nicola Tesla, and Edgar Cayce in relation to ancient knowledge and technology. It touches upon the story of J.C. Brown, who explored a tunnel near Mount Shasta in 1904 and claimed to have found evidence of a Lemurian city, but later disappeared. The text also mentions astronomer Edgard Lucin Larkin's observation of a 'golden dome' near Mount Shasta.

Article: Nocturnia Serenitas: Cómo parir un poema

This section presents a poem titled 'Nocturnia Serenitas: Cómo parir un poema' (Nocturnia Serenitas: How to Give Birth to a Poem), attributed to 'El Príncipe Contrahecho.' The poem uses evocative imagery related to time, memory, nature, and emotion, exploring themes of melancholy, lost moments, and the elusive nature of inspiration.

Article: Dos Mentes, Idea y Media.

This piece, written by Mirta Rodríguez Corderi, is a narrative titled 'La fantasía entró por el portón de hierro negro' (Fantasy Entered Through the Black Iron Gate). It describes a protected house and its elemental beings experiencing a period of melancholy and stagnation. The narrative contrasts the initial harmony with a subsequent sense of inertia affecting both the house's interior and its surrounding gardens. The arrival of 'fantasy' is depicted as a turning point, bringing renewed life and hope, though the narrator expresses skepticism about the permanence of this change.

Article: Los Rosacruces desvelan el secreto

This is a promotional piece for a publication titled 'Los Rosacruces desvelan el secreto' (The Rosicrucians Unveil the Secret), presented as a 'New Arrival!' from the 'Consejo Supremo de' (Supreme Council of). It features a stylized image of a seal and lists various orders and historical references related to Rosicrucianism, such as 'Antigua y Mútika Orden de la Rosa Cruz' and 'Antigua y Mítica Orden de la Rosa Cruz Antigua y Mítica.'

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of hidden knowledge, ancient civilizations, extraterrestrial contact, and spiritual evolution. There's a strong leaning towards presenting speculative theories and legends as potentially factual, particularly concerning subterranean worlds and UFO phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, encouraging readers to consider alternative explanations beyond conventional science and history. The recurring mention of 'Misterios' (Mysteries) in the title and section headings reinforces this focus on the unexplained and the esoteric.

This issue of "Misterios" magazine, number 135, delves into a diverse range of intriguing subjects, from the historical medical breakthroughs of René Quinton to contemporary UFO sightings and the enigmatic prophecies surrounding the Maya calendar's 2012 prediction.

The Legacy of René Quinton

The magazine dedicates significant space to the life and work of René Quinton, a scientist whose knowledge of sea water is being transmitted through word of mouth. Despite efforts by multinational corporations and institutions to erase his name and wisdom, his legacy persists. The OMDIMAR Association continues his work, promoting his teachings and practices with sea water. Quinton, though not a medical doctor, was a sage whose research demonstrated that sea water could cure and prevent chronic diseases and combat malnutrition, a primary cause of death worldwide. He established dispensaries and marine oases where highly nutritious plants, like Salicornia and Portulacasia, were irrigated solely with sea water, providing essential food for humans. His experiments proved that blood could be replaced with isotonic sea water, and he established the 'Law of Marine Constancy,' which led to the 'Law of Thermal Constancy,' 'Law of Osmotic Constancy,' and 'Law of Lumina Constancy.'

His work, presented in 1904 to the Academy of Sciences, had a profound impact, influencing scientific, philosophical, moral, religious, and political thought. In 1905, he saved hundreds of malnourished children using sea water. In 1906, during a cholera epidemic, he achieved a 100% survival rate among treated children. By 1912, his method was being applied in Egypt, where he established a dispensary in Alexandria and successfully treated children with injections of sea water.

Despite the initial respect and recognition, Quinton's work and dispensaries were systematically erased from history after his death. His books were destroyed, and his laboratory closed. The magazine laments this "true assault against wisdom" and questions who benefited from hiding this discovery and why scientists have not brought it to light.

UFO Alert: El Atazar Reservoir, Madrid

The issue also features a report on a UFO Alert event that took place on May 26, 2012, at the El Atazar reservoir in El Berrueco, Madrid. This area has a history of UFO sightings and alleged humanoid appearances dating back to the late 1970s. The author, Fernando García Rodríguez, participated in the event, organized by Dimensión Insólita and Misterio Infinito. During the night, participants observed several lights that were difficult to explain. While some were identified as aircraft, others displayed irregular trajectories, changes in direction, and luminosity, leading to speculation about unidentified flying objects. Photographs were taken, capturing some of these phenomena, including small spheres and objects flying over the reservoir. The event is described as a crucial moment for strengthening friendships and fostering future investigations.

2012: Enigmas of the Maya Apocalypse

Another section explores the theories surrounding the 2012 Maya apocalypse, as analyzed by journalist Javier Pérez Campos in his book "2012, los enigmas del Apocalipsis maya." The book examines the connection between Maya beliefs and the supposed end of the world at the end of 2012. According to the Maya Long Count calendar, December 21, 2012, marked the end of a 400-year cycle (the thirteenth baktún). While the Maya viewed this as a time of celebration and transition, it has been interpreted by some as an apocalyptic event.

The article notes that many people believe in signs heralding catastrophic events, such as mass animal deaths, earthquakes, and hurricanes. However, it suggests that these phenomena often have natural or anthropogenic explanations, such as climate change, rather than being harbingers of the apocalypse. The piece also touches upon the commercialization of the 2012 phenomenon, with companies selling products and tours related to the event. Pérez Campos is quoted as saying that humanity has survived over 160 prophesied apocalypses and that the concept of the end of the world is often misinterpreted.

Prophecies of Benjamin Solari Parravicini

Finally, the magazine briefly touches upon the prophecies of Benjamin Solari Parravicini (BSP), an Argentine prophet who received over 700 psychographed messages from his guardian angel. These prophecies, written from 1936 onwards, have been gradually fulfilled over 70 years, with some being easily understood and others remaining cryptic. One notable prophecy from 1938 foretold the fall of "the heart of the world" and its connection to Germany, potentially alluding to World War II. Another prophecy from the same year predicted "a new system of communication in the world by artificial planets," which is interpreted as referring to artificial satellites.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the power of natural remedies (specifically sea water), the enduring mystery of UFOs and unexplained phenomena, and the fascination with prophecies and end-of-the-world predictions. The editorial stance appears to be one of championing unconventional knowledge and historical figures like Quinton, who challenged established scientific paradigms, while also exploring contemporary mysteries and ancient predictions with a critical yet open mind. There is a clear emphasis on uncovering hidden truths and questioning official narratives, particularly concerning scientific discoveries and historical events.

Title: Misterios
Issue: 135
Cover Headline: El Símbolo de la Nueva Era
Publisher: fernandogarcia.org
Country: Argentina
Language: Spanish

This issue of Misterios magazine, number 135, delves into the enigmatic world of Benjamin Solari Parravicini, an Argentine artist and prophet whose 'psicografias' (psychographic drawings) are presented as containing profound prophecies and symbolic messages. The cover, titled "El Símbolo de la Nueva Era" (The Symbol of the New Era), sets the tone for an exploration of esoteric themes, future predictions, and the intersection of the spiritual and the psychological.

Benjamin Solari Parravicini: Prophet of the New Era

The central focus of the magazine is the life and work of Benjamin Solari Parravicini (1898-1974). The articles highlight his prolific output of 'psicografias', which he claimed were transmitted to him by divine or extraterrestrial sources. These drawings, often accompanied by cryptic texts, are presented as foretelling significant global events, technological advancements, and spiritual shifts.

One of the most striking aspects discussed is Parravicini's alleged prediction of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The magazine reproduces drawings from 1939 that are interpreted as depicting the destruction of the Twin Towers, complete with imagery of explosions and the Statue of Liberty being attacked. The text quotes George W. Bush's reaction to the attacks, emphasizing America's role as a beacon of freedom, a sentiment that the magazine links back to Parravicini's prophetic warnings.

Parravicini's prophecies extend beyond specific events to encompass broader themes of societal transformation, the dangers of materialism, and the evolution of human consciousness. His writings often express concern about the "domestic vision" being distorted by mass media and consumerism, warning of a future where people are "desnaturalized" and controlled by superficial influences.

Artistic and Symbolic Interpretations

The magazine examines some of Parravicini's specific artworks, such as "La idea fija" and "Sentencia de muerte," which were donated to museums in Santa Fe, Argentina. "La idea fija" is described as featuring a star, the Eye of God, and Masonic symbolism, while "Sentencia de muerte" is presented as a more ominous piece. The article questions the artist's motivations for donating these works and speculates on their deeper meanings.

Parravicini's drawings are rich in symbolism, often incorporating religious, mythological, and astronomical elements. The magazine illustrates various 'psicografias' depicting flying saucers, extraterrestrial beings, celestial events, and apocalyptic scenarios. These images are analyzed in the context of UFOlogy and the broader New Age movement.

Cultural and Psychological Dimensions

Beyond Parravicini's prophecies, the magazine includes articles that explore related themes in anthropology and psychology. One section, "Paleontología," examines the complex relationship between the sacred and the pathological across different cultures. It discusses how phenomena like shamanism, witchcraft, and various forms of psychosis (such as the Whitico syndrome among Inuit and the 'Susto' or soul loss among Quechua) are interpreted and treated within their respective cultural frameworks.

The article highlights that what might be considered a psychological disorder in one culture could be viewed as a spiritual calling or a magical act in another. It touches upon the role of shamans and priests in addressing these perceived afflictions, often through complex rituals and exorcisms. The concept of 'magia contaminante' (contaminating magic) in Afro-American traditions, particularly Voodoo, is also explored, detailing how symbolic rituals can allegedly lead to psychological distress and social ostracism for the victim.

The magazine also touches upon the phenomenon of lycanthropy (werewolfism), citing the historical case of Manuel Blanco Romasarta, who was tried for his alleged crimes committed under the influence of a curse. The article suggests that states of 'madness' are closely tied to cultural environments, collective consciousness, and the symbolic narratives of a society.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes throughout this issue of Misterios are prophecy, esotericism, the paranormal, and the psychological underpinnings of belief systems. The magazine adopts a stance that presents these phenomena as worthy of serious investigation, often linking them to a hidden or emerging "New Era" of consciousness and global events. The editorial approach seems to be one of exploring the fringes of accepted knowledge, presenting controversial ideas and historical accounts that challenge conventional scientific and historical narratives. The focus on Parravicini suggests a belief in the validity of his 'psicografias' as genuine premonitions rather than mere artistic expressions or coincidences. The magazine aims to inform and intrigue its readers about mysteries that lie beyond the ordinary, encouraging contemplation of the unknown and the symbolic language of the universe.
