Sex Worship: An Exposition of the Origin of Religion

Categories: Ancient Religions / Origins, Catalog|Tags: |

Sex Worship

Author: Clifford Howard

Outlines how sex played a role in the evolution of religion from the earliest of times. Reveals why nature and its cycles, including death and rebirth, were so important to the formation of mankind’s beliefs. Sex worship is not studied today, despite the fact that it played such an important part in past beliefs, because our modern culture fails to see it in its earlier, sacred role.

THE MYSTERIES OF MITHRA

Categories: Ancient Religions / Origins, Catalog|Tags: |

The Mysteries of Mythra

Author: Franz Cumont

The main Mithraic religion originated in ancient Hinduism, moved into Persia, found enormous popularity in Europe, and was ultimately destroyed by Christianity. One particular expression, found in this book, originated in the Roman Empire. Before Christianity stamped it out, it had gained strength rapidly and was the main pagan religion of its time. This book puts Christianity and Mithraism side by side in the Roman Empire and reveals exactly how and why Christianity survived and the Mithraism did not. Few can rival Cumont’s knowledge in this area. Covers the principle characteristics of the god Mithra, the rituals, teachings, liturgy, art and more. Illustrated, with index.

The Origin and Evolution of Religion

Categories: Ancient Religions / Origins, Catalog|Tags: |

Origin and Evolution of Religion

Author: Albert Churchward

Other than Sir James Frazer (The Golden Bough), Churchward is the only person to have written such a monumental work on religion. He encompasses the complete evolution of religious ideas. The first humans from Africa worshipped elemental powers, progressed into ancestor worship, then finally recognized what they called a “Great Spirit.” Covers our earliest mythological stories including resurrections, journeys to the underworld, and the first hero stories. Also explores the true origins and meaning of sun, tree, phallic, and serpent worship. Ends with what we should all take to heart – our religious evolution is definitely not over.

Pagan and Christian Creeds

Pagan and Christian Creeds

Full Title: Pagan and Christian Creeds: Their Origin and Meaning

Author: Edward Carpenter

Sows where our religious concepts originated and reveals an evolutionary sequence that starts with phallic and procreative cults. Following this came a cult of magic, where spirits and earth divinities were worshipped. Lastly, came the belief in actual God-figures that came down from heaven. Also covers our evolving stages of consciousness and how the most advanced form has been lost and remains so.

Includes an Appendix on the Upanishads which, he says, may give us a glimpse of this advanced stage of consciousness and the mental attitude required.
