“We see movies in which people are represented as being in love who never talk with one another, who fall into bed without ever discussing their bodies, their sexual needs, their likes and dislikes. Indeed, the message received from the mass media is that knowledge makes love less compelling; that it is ignorance that gives love its erotic and transgressive edge. These messages are often brought to us by profiteering producers who have no clue about the art of loving, who substitute their mystified visions because they do not really know how to genuinely portray loving interaction.”

Glycon (Γλύκων), a snake god of mid-2nd century created by the Greek prophet Alexander of Abonutichus, echoes the macedonian snake cult of fertility (Olympias often appears as a snake worshipper and priestess) as well as the cult of the healing god Asclepius, he also brings to mind the minoan snake goddess image representing both fertility and gnosis of the occult mysteries. The snake, a powerful symbol was also associated with the orphic religion and the god Phanes. Goddess Athena’s protégé or perhaps son, Ericthonius was also half-man and half-serpent inheriting Athena’s wisdom and skills. The journey of the serpent power, encoding and strong symbolism is endless as it seems. Late 2nd-century statue of Glycon. (National History and Archeology Museum,  Constanța, Romania)
