L’Home de la Mar A3 Poster

Guardian of the confines of the water, he sings with the swell. The ancients named him in many ways, but the Sumerians already knew him as Enki, lord of the sweet abyss, or Ea, he who dwells in the water. It was he who, emerging from the womb of the depths, brought to the surface the secrets that sustain the world: sowing and harvest, sacred geometry, the alchemy of construction. But even more importantly, the miracle of the written word and, with it, the power of immortality.

In moments of disorientation, when the soul is a ship without a rudder and the horizon seems to have been swallowed by the mist, it is he who offers rescue.

Local fishermen claim that every 23rd of June the conditions become favourable for those who know how to see, when the gentle shores of the Mar Vella of Barcelona open like a threshold to the invisible, and l’home de la mar reveals himself, just for an instant, between the shadows of twilight and the glow of the bonfires.

All his wisdom manifests itself in Arcana number 9 of the Profanus tarot.
