An overview of Mithraism, the ancient Roman mystery religion popular in the Roman Legions * Provides a comprehensive history of Mithraism, including its influence on Christianity and Islam * Includes rituals, meditations, and teaching tales for readers who wish to follow the Mithraic path * Studies the evolution and divergence of the Eastern (Persian) and Western (Roman) forms of Mithraism The Mysteries of Mithras presents a revival of the magical practices and initiatory system of Mithraism, the ancient Roman mystery religion that was immensely popular in the Roman Legions from the late second century B.C. until A.D. 400 and was taken to every corner of the Roman Empire. As the last pagan state religion in Europe, it was the most important competitor to early Christianity and heavily influenced Christian doctrine and symbolism. The parallels between Christianity and ancient Mithraism are striking--for example, the god Mithra was born of a virgin in a cave on December 25. Payam Nabarz reveals the history, origins, and spiritual and philosophical tenets of Mithraism and its connections to Christianity, Islam, and Freemasonry. He also describes the modern neo-pagan practice of Mithraism in evidence today and for readers who wish to adopt the Mithraic path, he includes seven of its initiatory rituals and meditations, as well as orations and teaching tales, that open the door to the seven Mithraic grades of passage.… (meer)

I am not a follower of Mithras, or likely to become one. I was intrigued by the startling similarities to the, later, story of Christianity.

The book is charming and Payam Nabarz is both persuasive and modest, this makes for an easy read. One is not continually fighting against the certainty of a believer. I enjoyed this book. ( )

A reasonable introduction to the Mithras story, though much more in the mode of how to worship Mithras than a scholarly work. It was amusing to read the ritual chants and learn how to build an altar to Mithras, but I would have preferred a little more philosophical and scholarly discussion of the Mithras cult. ( )

Like grapes, we have always accompanied the vat. / From the view of the world, we have disappeared. / For years, we boiled from the fire of love / Until we became that wine which intoxicated the world. - Sufi Pir and poet Dr. Nurbakhsh

Mithra is an ancient Indo-Iranian god who was worshipped in polytheistic Persia at least as early as the second millenium B.C.E., and who was almost certainly related to the Vedic Mitra worshipped in India.
