Museu Palau Mercader in Cornellà de Llobregat (Barcelona Metropolitan Area, Catalonia).

This building was once the palace of a wealthy aristocratic family. It was built between 1864 and 1869 by orders of the Count of Bell-lloc to be their summer house, surrounded by gardens.

The building has three floors. The first floor was the entrance, with the horse carriage garages and stables. The second floor was where the noble family lived, and the third floor was for the service.

The noble floor is richly decorated with an eclectic style. Baroque and Arab-inspired styles are the most common ones, but each room is uniquely decorated. There are rooms that are baroque, rococo, renaissance, neomudéjar, neoclassical or Isabeline style (Isabeline is the style of decorative arts that flourished during the reign of Queen Isabel II of Spain, 1833-1868).

The house is decorated with historical objects that the counts brought from their other possessions, such as paintings, Flemish tapestry from the 16th and 17th centuries, furniture from the 16th to 19th centuries, and architectural elements from the previous century.

Since 1995, the Mercader Palace is a public museum.

academic art

Academic art, a style prevalent in the 19th century, adhered to traditional techniques and subject matter, often depicting historical, mythological, or biblical themes. It emphasized realism, precise draftsmanship, and idealized forms, aiming to elevate the viewer's moral and intellectual sensibilities. Led by institutions like the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, academic art set strict standards, which some saw as stifling creativity. Yet, its influence persisted, shaping the development of art education and laying the groundwork for later movements to rebel against its conventions.

Why is Demonology considered Religious?

And why is it most tied to Catholicism?

Demons aren’t inherently tied into abrahamic religion and faiths, so why is it considered religion studies?

I genuinely don’t understand why things that are generally encompassed have to be tied into specific religions. (Ie christianity)

I do not know how other eclectic practitioners choose the elements of different traditions they add to theirs,but I rather let elements to find their way in mine.Most people judging eclectic practitioners assume often not so correctly that the practitioner picked and chose whatever they pleased consciously ,just because they had to add new things to make their path more colorful and just because they felt like insulting the tradition of someone else.Yes,there are people who do that and do not back up ,when someone tells them that is not the way to go about things,but sometimes Entity,Deity or other type of spiritual being from certain path chose to work with you instead and let say they gave you different instructions to follow when worshiping them or working with them.What way will be more valid then the one that you have been given to practice or is it the way of those that worked for many years with the entity in question ?This is more related to the personal relation between the practitioner and the forces he or she work with ,but there is also the notion that on certain level we are all connected and that most paths/religions streamed from the same source ,but since humans are incarnated spirits their cultural background and their connection to their body demanded for certain taboos.

It is my position that there is a stream of consciousness from which all beings manifest from as a direct result of that consciousness becoming autonomous. We are all spirits and the spirits we think of as deities are the same as us without the manifestation into the flesh. We are all one, but I do not look at my neighbour and think we are the same. We manifest differently here and now and I believe this is the same for deities. They are all one, but when they operate in a manner that denotes specificity, they are manifesting as a particular being with very specific qualities and personalities.

Now the issue is that we seem to believe spirituality is a closed endeavour and always has been since time began. This is simply not true and eclecticism is not a modern concept. The Greeks and Romans are prime examples of this, the Greeks and Egyptians too. Look at the Greek Magical Papyri and you will see Jewish, Christian, Egyptian, and Greek deities all in the same spell!

The fact is when you are working with a spiritual current you can't help who knocks at your door. Sometimes it can be beings you don't have any connection to in terms of your culture or birth. Sometimes its beings you never dreamed of working with. Sometimes new relationships will form, sometimes they will not.

This whole issue of syncretism and adoption of practices from different cultures has become frowned upon in modern times due to issues such as cultural appropriation. Which, whilst a very real issue, is a term often used too widely and too freely. There are people for instance who believe if you were not born in Egypt you have no business working with Egyptian deities. I disagree with this, it is clear from history the Egyptians were keen to share their ideas. Now the issue is different when it comes to practices that are most certainly closed such as vodou.

If you are drawn to a being or practice that comes from another culture it is my opinion that you should do your research, preferably ask people who belong to the tradition or culture for advice, and make sure you perform it respectfully. Never perform spiritual activities regardless of their origin for purposes of entertainment or if there is no need to do so anyway.

Cultural appropriation is using a culture for entertainment or for profit. People working Ghuede and Leghba and dressing in skull attire parading the streets of a city blowing powders around to look 'spooky' is disrespectful not only to vodou practitioners but also the spirits behind the practice. They will not get far in the practice nor in life. Telling everyone you meet you summon Legba at the crossroads, or Hekate, or the devil and wearing black is not about your spiritual progress, it is about your vanity. It is often cultural appropriation.

It is my view that the spirits and your relationship with them is the only thing that should dictate your journey, however, if you begin to involve other humans in your journey and display such nonsensical actions and disrespectful attitudes to them, they are well within their rights to tell you that you are wrong.

I feel I am not making sense- if you are diving into other cultural practices respect, research, and communication are key. You cannot expect to get anywhere without them. There is a fine line between cultural appreciation and appropriation and sometimes we can all cross that line. It is important to speak to people who have grown up with these rites and traditions to ensure that 1)You are not offending them, 2) you are not offending the spirits and 3) this is a path open and available to you.

Eclecticism is not a problem. Spiritual pick and mix for popularity or 'because it's spooky' most certainly is.
