Sommario/riassunto |
|
Lightning has evoked a numinous response as well as powerful timeless references and symbols among ancient religions throughout the world. Thunder and lightning have also taken on various symbolic manifestations, some representing primary deities, as in the case of Zeus and Jupiter in the Greco/Roman tradition, and Thor in Norse myth. This book explores the symbolic elements surrounding lightning in their associated pre-Columbian religious ideologies. |
