Death and Warrior Cults


Recommended Posts

I assume we must therefore cite Mithras, though this is a cult of the Soldiery (in particular) with a ceremonial of a symbolic death (possibly in uncomfortable , actual ritualistic inhumatory ceremonial) and a similarly symbolic re-birth to "gnosis" (though I do not suggest the Christian term for direct knowledge of the Deity).This is a simplistic, but not inaccurate article :

(The UNRV site l already contains considerable reference to Mithras via the "search" function on the main Forum page).
