The Father of Mithras

It is well known that Mithras was born from a rock. However, less has been written about the father of the solar god, and especially about how he conceived him.

In our description, isn't the word "cloak" in the last sentence a typo for "globe"?

The MITHRA Project

Laurent Bricault has revolutionised Mithraic studies with the exhibition The Mystery of Mithras. Meet this professor in Toulouse for a fascinating look at the latest discoveries and what lies ahead.
Dr. Vicky Jo
Having just visited Frankfurt, and feeling like I missed the exhibition "by this much," I was quite frustrated that I was unable to purchase an exhibition catalogue in English. Let me gently encourage you to make that available. My PhD is in Jungian Studies, and I think a few academic Jungian sorts would likewise be interested. PS: I worked with Thomas Gaehtgens in the Visiting Scholars program at the Getty Research Institute.
Marcus
I am a devotee of Mithras Thank you for this interview. I think the author is right when he highlights that Roman Mithras is very different to Persian Mitra. Mithras is born mighty from birth and with a connection to His Father. The rock is a symbol of prowess and His Father is Sol. The main rite was centered on celebration of Mithras,’ victory over the bull, the bull which in Rome was similar to a dragon or an animal which normal people cant slay.

Mithraism As Proud Boy Prototype: Underground Clubs of the Syndexioi and Pueri Superbi

Tracing the links between the cult of Mithras and the Proud Boys’ quest for identity, power, and belonging. How ancient rituals and brotherhood ideals resurface in radical modern movements.
Glad it wasn’t routine & boring.

Total insanity. Very entertaining.
My point is not to disrespect your faith but to suggest that both the archangel and the deity have a similar function as patrons of soldiers.
St John
I find this is a convoluted concept in order to lable people and their faiths and twist according to the nature of the occult gods. Let me explicitly clear, Jesus was crucified by Roman’s and St Micheal was appointed the Prince and Protector of his Church because he prostrated Satan in the Celestial battle.
Respectfully brother I agree with you, although we may disagree on what that phrase refers to.
Trump derangement syndrome is something else.
