Ancient Mystic Rites
Leadbeater explores the origins and symbolism of ancient mystery traditions and Freemasonry, drawing connections with the mysteries of Egypt, Greece and Rome, including the cult of Mithras.
The New Mithraeum
First published in 1926 as Glimpses of Masonic History, this work by the Theosophical writer Charles Webster Leadbeater presents an esoteric interpretation of the origins and development of Freemasonry. Leadbeater traces Masonic traditions back to the ancient mystery cults, discussing Egyptian initiation, the Eleusinian mysteries, Pythagorean traditions and the mysteries of Mithras, before considering their supposed transmission into later Masonic practice.
