Our vision is to contribute to a world in which individuals reclaim their authentic nature, spiritual freedom, and sovereign relationship with Source.
We envision a future in which people are no longer defined by limitation, conditioning, fear, inherited beliefs, or imposed identities, but are empowered to consciously discover who they truly are and what they are capable of becoming.
Through the preservation, embodiment, and transmission of ancient wisdom, we seek to support the evolution of human consciousness and encourage a deeper understanding of both the visible and invisible dimensions of existence.
We envision Casa de los Santos as a living tradition and an international family of Houses dedicated to transformation, self-knowledge, community, and the preservation of authentic esoteric teachings for future generations.
Our vision is not merely to preserve ancient wisdom, but to ensure that it remains alive, relevant, and accessible to those who feel called to walk a deeper path of awareness, responsibility, and spiritual freedom.
Casa de los Santos fulfills this vision through education, community, initiatory practice, mentorship, and the living transmission of the Mara Palumbra tradition.
Our mission is to create a space where individuals can explore the deeper dimensions of themselves and reality through authentic spiritual practice, direct experience, disciplined inner work, and personal transformation.
Rooted in Western Esotericism, Ceremonial Magic, Middle Eastern Mysticism, Latin American spiritual traditions, and Afro-Caribbean currents, our work seeks to preserve, embody, and transmit wisdom streams that have shaped human spiritual development across cultures and generations.
Central to our mission is the understanding that authentic transformation does not arise through belief alone, but through experience, responsibility, self-observation, and the willingness to engage consciously with both the light and shadow aspects of human nature.
Our mission is not to create followers.
Our mission is not to create dependency.
Our mission is to support individuals in becoming more conscious, more authentic, more empowered, and more sovereign in their lives.
Ultimately, our mission is to support the journey from conditioning to consciousness, from limitation to freedom, and from fragmentation to wholeness.
Don Rodolfo Marasci is the founder, visionary, chairman, and Padrino of Casa de los Santos and the founder of Ordo Mara Palumbra, an integrated esoteric tradition dedicated to spiritual freedom, self-knowledge, transformation, and sovereignty.
For more than 35 years, Don Rodolfo has devoted his life to the study, practice, and transmission of esoteric, mystical, and spiritual traditions. His journey has never been confined to books or theory alone. Instead, it has been shaped through direct experience, initiation, disciplined practice, and immersion in diverse wisdom traditions across the world.
Driven by a profound search for truth, understanding, and the deeper mysteries of existence, he spent decades traveling through different countries and spiritual landscapes, coming into contact with a wide range of initiatory traditions, teachers, mystics, shamans, sorcerers, mediums, and spiritual practitioners.
His path led him through India, Nepal, Tibet, South America, Mexico, Cuba, and many other regions where ancient spiritual traditions are still preserved and practiced. In India he encountered traditions associated with the Left-Hand Path. In South America he worked alongside shamans and healers from Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia. In Mexico he encountered traditions of sorcery and consciousness development, while in Cuba he underwent initiatory experiences within traditions involving spirit work, ancestral practices, Palo, and Santería.
Alongside these international influences, Don Rodolfo also explored the ancestral dimensions of his own Indonesian and Italian heritage. Over time, the accumulated wisdom, initiations, and insights from many traditions led him toward a realization: no single system held the complete picture. This realization eventually gave birth to Mara Palumbra.
Throughout his spiritual journey, Don Rodolfo has also become known within certain esoteric circles by the name Senia Melchizedek.
“The purpose of Mara Palumbra is liberation. Liberation from limitation. Liberation from conditioning. Liberation from inherited patterns. Liberation from everything that prevents human beings from becoming who they truly are.”
— Don Rodolfo Marasci
Through community, guidance, initiation, mentorship, and personal responsibility, we seek to cultivate a living tradition that empowers people to awaken their potential, embody their truth, and consciously participate in their own evolution.
