Inhaltsangabe

The Mithriac Ritual is a book written by G.R.S. Mead that explores the ancient cult of Mithraism. The book delves into the history, beliefs, and practices of this mysterious religion that was popular in the Roman Empire during the first few centuries CE. Mead draws on a variety of sources, including archaeological evidence, ancient texts, and contemporary accounts, to paint a vivid picture of the Mithraic cult and its rituals. He describes the initiation process, the role of the priest, and the symbolism of the various elements of the ritual, including the bull-slaying scene that was central to Mithraic worship. The book also examines the relationship between Mithraism and other religions of the time, such as Christianity and Judaism. Overall, The Mithriac Ritual provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known aspect of ancient history and sheds light on the beliefs and practices of an enigmatic religious tradition.Preamble; The Ritual; Comments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
