Mithraism

Post by Er Aldaric »

Has anyone else taken notice to the insistence ancient artisans had in depicting Mithra as a (blond) Phrygian / Frisian capped youth? Mithraism was essentially an astrological religious sect, astrology was a dominant belief over the course of the Frya's civilization (I find the iconography of the Tauroctony similar to the depiction of Kroder standing on Pisces), and within the religion slaves in the outside world weren't recognized as slaves within the mithraeum and had equal dignity among the other members. Oathkeeping, justice, law, contract keeping, and militantism are attributes of both Frya values and Mithraism. There is an association between Mithra, the North Star, and the swastika. All of these are simply things I have noticed, I have no hard evidence of anything but part of me thinks that Mithraism might have developed as a response to the fall of mainstream Frya religion, or something along those lines. I believe (assuming chronology revision) the formation of the cult of Mithras would at least in part fall outside the time covered by the OL. Any thoughts on Mithraism and where it fits into this new chronology are welcome.
