THE MYSTERIES OF MITHRA
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.

Sex Worship: An Exposition of the Origin of Religion
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.

CULT OF THE MOTHER GODDESS
Subtitle: An Archaeological and Documentary
Author: E. O. James
The Mother Goddess has been a powerful figure throughout most of human history. This symbol is unquestionably the most persistent feature in the archaeological record throughout the entire ancient world. This makes her a supremely important figure that is vastly overlooked today. All of the major female goddesses are covered, including Aphrodite, Rhea, Athena, Isis, Demeter, Astarte, Hathor, Serapis, Asherah, Artemis, Inanna/Ishtar, Kore/Persephone, Kybele, and the unnamed Venus figurine deity, as seen on the cover, that has been found in related forms in at least 17 different ancient cultures worldwide. This book provides a complete historical overview of the Mother Goddess and her influence.

The Doctrine of Sin in the Babylonian Religion
Author: Julian Morgenstern
Most believe that sin first arose with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This means it is not of Christian origin. Christianity was not around for another two thousand years or more to include it in its belief structure. The first page of this book clarifies that sin, in its original form, was anything done to anger the gods (plural). The word for God in the Old Testament is elohim – a plural word.
This book is a vital source for early religious truths. Offers an outstanding rundown on the early gods, who they were and what they stood for. Contains surprising information on our origins, the source of evil, the gods, and mankind’s interactions with them.

The Popol Vuh
Translated by Lewis Spence
Includes three bonus chapters not found in the original on Mythology and Religion of Ancient Mexico.
When the Spanish invaded Central America in the 16th and 17th centuries they destroyed the holy books of the Mayans in an effort to convert them to Christianity. Few texts survived, yet The Popol Vuh, the creation story of the Mayan culture, did. This is the first English rendering of that text. Tells the story of a great flood, gods who created mankind, and other parallels to stories from around the world. Their deities are fully explained and compared to those from Greece, Rome and Egypt.
