Expertise in Magical Thought and Storytelling

For over 30 years, I have passionately dedicated myself to the study and dissemination of European magical thought, spanning from the Neolithic to the Modern Age. This journey has involved:

  • Public Speaking: Delivering numerous talks and conferences on folklore, magical practices, and historical beliefs.

  • Media Contributions: Writing for prestigious magazines such as Año Cero and participating in acclaimed podcasts like Protagonistas de lo Insólito.

This deep understanding of human belief systems and historical narratives forms a solid foundation for my storytelling. It allows me to craft rich, emotionally resonant stories grounded in timeless archetypes and cultural insights.
