Her relief sculpture found in Memphis reminds us that they are be both nurturing and powerful. Fuxi and Nuwa grace our journey with their presence—ancient Chinese deities who created humanity out of clay. Their painted silk depiction reveals how divinity intertwines with creation itself. Initiation rites portrayed in frescoes from Villa Dei Mysteri shed light on Dionysus' cult—the god associated with ecstasy and liberation. These rituals remind us that embracing our wild side is also part of experiencing divine energy.
