Description

The linking of sexuality and spirituality is as old as mankind itself. Evidence from many very different cultures suggests that man has always found in the visual expression of sex a means of symbolizing the great conflicting forces of the universe. From creation myths to explanations of the heavens, from the delicate renderings by Taoist artists of the sexual act as a symbol of cosmic balance to the brutal assertions of male power in Celtic statuary, this text leads us through a show more multiplicity of beliefs and depictions of the world's mysteries. show less
