Quote:Mithraic cult of the late Roman empire
I also wonder how Paul from the bible fits into this, as he was the de facto 'leader' of the Mithraic religion before he 'converted' to Christianity. Considering the huge problems I have with Paul's theology, I consider him a good candidate for the 'false prophet' Jesus warned would shortly follow after him.
Tying Paul into the Knights Templar and the Freemasons is a novel idea indeed. I hadn't known the roots expanded that far back, but it definitely reinforces parts of my opinion. It seems to me that Lucifer is most gifted in bringing confusion and duality to things, which makes sense from a 'higher purpose' perspective as well...
Thanks for the info, Spaced! I'll look more into Dion Fortune as well, B (i can't spell ur name)
