The Secret Ritual of Mithra is a book written by G. R. S. Mead that explores the ancient mystery religion of Mithraism. Mithraism was a popular cult in the Roman Empire that worshipped the god Mithras, who was believed to be the mediator between humanity and the divine. The book delves into the history of Mithraism, examining its origins in Persia and its spread throughout the Roman Empire. Mead also provides a detailed analysis of the rituals and practices of the cult, including the initiation ceremony and the various stages of membership. Mead draws on a variety of sources, including ancient texts and archaeological evidence, to paint a vivid picture of the beliefs and practices of Mithraism. He also explores the similarities and differences between Mithraism and other religions of the time, such as Christianity and Judaism. Overall, The Secret Ritual of Mithra provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known aspect of ancient religion and sheds light on the cultural and spiritual landscape of the Roman Empire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
