Sinopsis
The Mithriac Ritual is a book written by G.R.S. Mead that delves into the ancient mystery religion of Mithraism. This religion was practiced in the Roman Empire from the 1st to the 4th century CE and was centered around the worship of the god Mithras. Mead's book provides a detailed analysis of the Mithraic rituals, beliefs, and practices, drawing on a variety of sources including inscriptions, artwork, and literary texts. He explores the symbolism and meaning behind the various elements of the Mithraic cult, such as the initiation rites, the seven grades of membership, and the role of the sun in Mithraic mythology. Mead also discusses the possible origins of Mithraism and its relationship to other ancient religions, such as Zoroastrianism and Christianity. Overall, The Mithriac Ritual is a comprehensive and insightful study of a fascinating and 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.

Biografía del autor
G. R. S. Mead, Hermeticist and scholar was one of the truly great researchers into arcane wisdom. At a time when the esoteric tended to mean little more than table tapping and mysterious phenomena, he was translating into English the gems of Neoplatonic and Egyptian philosophy. In works such as "Thrice Greatest Hermes, The Doctrine of the Subtle Body, Orpheus", and "Fragments of a Faith Forgotten", he almost single handedly reassembled the lost esoteric tradition of classical Athens and Alexandria and Gnosticism in general.
