The Origins of the Mithraic Mysteries by David Ulansey

This video is a review of the book The Origins of the Mithraic Mysteries by David Ulansey.
Mithraism was one of the great ancient “mystery cults” which flourished in the Graeco-Roman world. Accordingly, it’s teachings were kept secret and passed down mostly by oral tradition. And this secrecy was taken very seriously. In many cases, breaking the secrecy of a mystery cult was punishable by death. It’s for this reason that very little information survives about the beliefs and practices of these mysterious religions. In the case of Mithraism, however, there is an abundance of sculpture and iconography that has survived in great condition because they often built their temples underground.
In his incredibly entertaining and informative book, The Origins of the Mithraic Mysteries author David Ulansey attempts to decode this iconography in an effort to reveal at least some of the mysteries of Mithraism. Along the way, the reader is drawn into the worldview of the ancients and David’s own quest to uncover the origins of their unique iconography...

Ulansey is best comprehensive theory on mithraism

[@justinbirkholz7814]

That's my opinion as well.

Is mithras the image on AION by CGJUNG? ⌚🌪️🦍

[@justinbirkholz7814]

That is a really great question! Very close actually! It is not Mithras himself but it is from Mithraic iconography. It's the leontocephaline, or lion-headed figure, which is unique to Mithraism.

Thanks man, looks like jung hit the nail on the head in 1957 when he said the was a great change coming in the collective psyche. Kinda getting obvious and yet few academics talk about it. Any thoughts why🌪️⌚🦍

[@justinbirkholz7814]

@@ejenkins4711 I agree. My thoughts... I think it may have something to do with the fear of destabilization and societal collapse that permeated the second half of the 20th century. I think things are changing now, but slowly.

@@justinbirkholz7814 indeed, when i look at things a certain way its like agh cun on. Naghammad same time as roswell 1957 jung predicts coming change. Aliens now being talked about serious. Angels and demons. Us against them
