The Religion of the Mithras Cult in the Roman… de Roger Beck
Inestimable research in ancient mystery traditions. Practicing solar traditions as a lone wolf, deep at the throne of my heart, I feel that this scholarly work contributed greatly to my path, as well as clarified some of previous private intuitions. The chapter on neurotheology, linguistics and semiotics of the Mythraeum was particulary enlightening. Technical description of Mithraic astronomy is also interesting from the astrological perspective: the "winds" or plantery currents in the path of souls/spirits caught my attention, as it reverberated with some descent/ascent formulas within Eleusinian mysteries, for example. It is interesting to read it along with Daniel Ogden's "Drakon", as some Mithraists were also initiated into Drakon mysteries (Marcus Aurelius)… (més)

This book probes both the history, the positive attributes and restraints of ancient astrology, and hints at why it was inevitable that astrology would shed its wishy-washy, fatalistic nature and resurface as a modern psychological tool for self-understanding. However the amount of ancient astro-lingo got in my way of enjoying this as an introductory book, so I'm giving this book 3.5/5 stars.
