Frases de Cagliostro

Conde Alessandro di Cagliostro cuyo verdadero nombre fue Giuseppe Balsamo, hijo de una pobre familia de Palermo, cuyo padre falleció muy joven, quedando la familia a cargo de un tío, Marco, que trabajaba en las oficinas de correo de la ciudad. Se inició en una escuela católica, pero sus dotes para el fraude y el engaño hicieron que fuera expulsado. Así fue como cometía tropelías, siendo miembro de diferentes bandas mafiosas, a las cuales supo aprovechar con su innegable dote de estafador. Posteriormente, luego de engañar a un banquero, se escapa a Medina, con bastante dinero robado al aurífero, donde conoce a Althotas, quien lo introduce en la mística oriental y es con este, que poseía un método de refinar el lino, hasta casi hacerlo parecer seda. Así amasó una fortuna y luego aparece en Europa.

Con sus dotes actorales y avieso en el arte del engaño también fue alquimista, ocultista, Rosacruz y alto masón siciliano que recorrió las cortes europeas del siglo XVIII.

Cagliostro afirmaba haber nacido en una familia cristiana de noble cuna, pero ser abandonado al poco de nacer en la isla de Malta. También aseguraba que siendo niño viajó a Medina, La Meca y El Cairo, y al regresar a Malta, ser iniciado en la Soberana Orden Militar de Malta, donde estudió alquimia, la Kabala y magia. Fundó el Rito Egipcio de la Francmasonería en La Haya, donde al igual de lo que sigue ocurriendo en las logias masónicas de San Juan en la actualidad, se iniciaba a hombres y mujeres en la misma logia y tuvo influencia en la fundación del Rito Masónico de Misraim.

Cagliostro: Frases en inglés

“I quitted the Bastille, about half-past eleven in the evening. The night was dark, the quarter in which I resided but little frequented. What was my surprise, then, to hear myself acclaimed by eight or ten thousand persons. My door was forced open; the courtyard, the staircase, the rooms were crowded with people. I was carried straight to the arms of my wife.”

“Oh that the truly terrible example I have just put before their eyes, provoking in their hearts a salutary repentance, might save me the grief of having to lament their fate! Let them recognize their errors! Let them make one simple step toward justice, and my lips will open only to bless them.”

Cagliostro’s Letter to the English People (1787)

“Finding this quiet appropriation of my property a little too much, I took the liberty to ask for their return; they gravely replied that my diamond and other jewels were confiscated to the profit of Great Britain I returned sadly to my inn... I resigned myself, however, and slept the most profound sleep. I do not know what passed during the night; but the next morning, when I returned to the Custom House, I found the greatest change in manners and faces. The customs authorities spoke to me in the most respectful tone. They made a million excuses and gave me back my jewel box...”

“Alas, is it your fault, or that of the Creator? Why were you made the angel with the infallible gaze, by whose aid I should make the universe submit? Why is it that you are the one to read a soul through its bodily envelope as one may read a book through a glass! Because you are an angel of purity, Lorenza, and nothing throws a shadow upon your soul. In your radiant and immaculate bosom the divine spark may be enshrined, a place without sullying where it may fitly nestle. You are a seer because you are blameless, Lorenza.”
