'...reveals the earliest sources on the traditions of Shiva and Dionysus [and] reconstructs the fabric of our ancient relationship with creation, restoring to vividness practices--at least 6000 years old--which were observed from the Indus Valley to the coasts of Portugal. Shiva and Dionysus are the gods of ecstatic sexuality, of magical power, intoxication and transcendence.'
