Myths, rites of the ancestral divine and symbols of eros are evoked by Luisella Veroli to dialogue with the imaginary. To relive the history of our origins, the author embarks on a journey in search of prehistoric places of worship which will lead her to rediscover the oldest forgotten sanctuary of the Moon Goddess in the Dordogne and, in the abandoned bed of a river, a Neolithic "'stone of the life”, as foretold by a dream. Thus she enters an initiatory path for women. While the masculine spiritual itineraries go from an initial getting lost in matter, in the dark, in the darkness to a tending towards the light, towards asceticism, here the path is reversed: from the radiance of Aphrodite to the descent into the shadow, into the womb of Mother Earth, until it touches the incandescent material from which we come. The work is accompanied by an iconographic itinerary that helps to approach the original works of art and the archetypes of the feminine.
