Publisher's Synopsis
""The Mithraic Mysteries And Their Influence Upon Freemasonry"" is a book written by C.W. Leadbeater that explores the ancient Mithraic religion and its impact on the Freemasonry tradition. The book delves into the history and practices of the Mithraic cult, which was popular in the Roman Empire, and examines how its symbols and rituals were adopted by Freemasonry. Leadbeater discusses the similarities between the two traditions, including their emphasis on initiation, secrecy, and the use of symbols to convey deeper meanings. He also explores the influence of Mithraism on other religions and philosophies, such as Christianity and Gnosticism. This book is a fascinating exploration of the connections between ancient mystery religions and modern secret societies, and offers a unique perspective on the history of Freemasonry.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Glimpses of Masonic History, by C.
