The Father of Mithras

Gabriel Simeoni

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.

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

Dave Fingrut

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.

Michael Coetzee

Trump derangement syndrome is something else.

Dave Fingrut

Respectfully brother I agree with you, although we may disagree on what that phrase refers to.

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.

Dave Fingrut

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.

sticky bandit

Total insanity. Very entertaining.

Dave Fingrut

Glad it wasn’t routine & boring.
