In the land of my forefathers, I explore key sites related to speleology, searching for what Mircea Eliade describes as a religious experience of autochthony. This sense of divine intuition allows one to feel part of something that stretches across time and space—something that transcends both scientific knowledge and theology, and deepens the bond with one’s native land and with Mother Earth.
While focusing on analogies between the human psyche and geological matter, I find solace in understanding the chimeras that appear in our dreams, revealed through the cartography of the caves. The pathways they show help us understand and connect to our deep psychic life, to our deepest traumas and fears.
