The Religion of the Mithras Cult in the Roman Empire: Mysteries of the Unconquered Sun by 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 show more 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) show less
