A Mithriac Ritual, by George Robert Stow Mead, explores the ancient mystery religion of Mithraism. This short but insightful work delves into the rituals associated with the worship of the god Mithras, offering a glimpse into the practices and beliefs of this once-widespread cult. Mead examines the historical context of Mithraism and provides a detailed examination of the symbolic language and ceremonial elements involved.
Originally published in 1907, this exploration into the mystic past offers valuable insights into a religious tradition that rivaled early Christianity. For scholars, historians, and anyone interested in ancient religions and comparative mythology, A Mithriac Ritual serves as a valuable resource.
