The Mithraic Mysteries And Their Influence Upon Freemasonry is a book written by C.W. Leadbeater that explores the connections between the ancient Mithraic religion and the Freemasonry tradition. The book delves into the history and mythology of Mithraism, a religion that was practiced in the Roman Empire from the 1st to the 4th century CE, and how its beliefs and practices influenced the development of Freemasonry. Leadbeater examines the similarities between the two traditions, such as their emphasis on initiation, secrecy, and the use of symbols and allegories. He also discusses the possible origins of some of the symbols and rituals used in Freemasonry, suggesting that they may have been borrowed from Mithraism. The book is a fascinating exploration of the connections between two ancient traditions and sheds light on the historical and cultural influences that have shaped modern Freemasonry.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Glimpses of Masonic History, by C.
