The story: lightning has captivated since the dawn of time and many cultures have associated it with a God, from Seth in Egypt to Thor in Norse mythology to the famous Zeus brandishing a lightning bolt. A symbol of enlightenment and power, it also marks a key moment in everyone’s life, a moment from which nothing is the same. In this respect, it is known for a more sentimental connotation, that of love at first sight: an encounter with one’s soul mate from which nothing will ever be the same again.
