Archived from the original on July 26, This is a good film to watch as autumn turns to winter. The name Eumenides, which signifies "the well-meaning," or "soothed goddesses," is a mere euphemism, because people dreaded to call these fearful goddesses by their real name, and it was said to have been first given them after the acquittal of Orestes by the court of the Areiopagus, when tile anger of the Erinnyes had become soothed. According to the Homeric notion, the Erinnyes, whom the poet conceives as distinct beings, are reckoned among those who inhabit Erebos, srwhere they rest until some curse pronounced upon a criminal calls them to life and activity. So the madman shook with a distracted spasm, and tried to tear the whip of snakes from the grim hand of the reason-destroying goddess; he bared his sword in the face of the Avenger [Alekto], and tried to cut the viper-curls of Tisiphone.

    Each issue of the Rosicrucian Digest provides members and all interested readers with a compendium of materials regarding the ongoing flow of the Rosicrucian Timeline. The articles, historical excerpts, art, and literature included in this Digest span the ages, and are not only interesting in themselves, but also seek to provide a lasting reference shelf to stimulate continuing study of all of those factors which make up Rosicrucian history and thought. Therefore, we present classical background, historical development, and modern reflections on each of our subjects, using the many forms of primary sources, reflective commentaries, the arts, creative fiction, and poetry. This magazine is dedicated• to all the women and men throughout the ages who have contributed to and perpetuated the wisdom of the Rosicrucian, Western esoteric, tradition. May we ever be •worthy of the light with which we have been entrusted. In this issue, we explore• the Eleusinian Mysteries which were celebrated outside Athens for 2,000 years. Combining the mysteries of life, death, fertility, immortality, transcendence, and divine union, they were the very soul of Hellenistic civilization. Today we can glimpse their glory, still calling to us across the millennia.

  • Mark Stanley Wheller
    Christ as Ancestor Hero: Using Catherine Bell’s Ritual Framework to Analyze 1 Corinthians as an Ancestor Hero Association in First Century CE Roman Corinth by Mark Wheller A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Religious Studies University of Alberta © Mark Wheller, 2017 Abstract The Corinthian community members employed a Greco-Roman heroic model to graft their ancestral lineages, through the rite of baptism, to the genos Christ-hero. In doing so, the Corinthians constructed an elaborate ancestral lineage, linking their association locally through Christ to Corinth, and trans-locally through Moses to an imagined Ancient Israel. For the community, Christ’s death and resurrection aligned with the death and epiphanies of ancient heroes, as did his characteristics as a healer, protector, and oracle. Relatedly, the “Lord’s Meal,” as practiced by the Corinthians, was a hybrid ritual, as the association synthesized the meal with the already-existing heroic rites of theoxenia and enagezein. This ritualized meal allowed the Christ-hero followers to bring their hero closer to them, imbuing their oracular rituals of prophecy and speaking in tongues, as well as their protection rituals. In response to their hero, the Christ-hero members offered locks of their hair through hair-cutting and hair-offering rituals. Their funerary rites and ritualized meals nuanced and dominated other cultic aspects such as healing, oracles, offerings, baptism, and defixiones. Yet the Christ-hero did more than just focus worship for the community. In fact, it allowed a newly transplanted migrant population to construct a socio-political space within the polis, by restructuring their neighbourhood networks and claiming ownership and status within the greater Corinthian environment.

  • The Hypothesis on the Presence of Entheogens in the Eleusinian Mysteries Jacopo Bizzotto Laurea Magistrale in Scienze Archeologiche Presso L’Università Di Padova
    Medicina Historica 2018; Vol. 2, N. 2: 85-93 © Mattioli 1885 Original article: history of medicine The hypothesis on the presence of entheogens in the Eleusinian Mysteries Jacopo Bizzotto Laurea Magistrale in Scienze Archeologiche presso l’Università di Padova Abstract. Forty years after the issue of the book The Road to Eleusis (1978), the hypothesis formulated by R. G. Wasson, A. Hofmann and C. A. P. Ruck on the possible use of entheogens in the Eleusinian Mysteries is still inducing a lively discussion among scholars, divided between those who accept it enthusiastically and those who reject it without compromises. The aim of this article is to review the different theories of the spe- cialists (both scientists and classicists) regarding the types of drugs taken during the Eleusinian ritual and will be analysed some archaeological artifacts characterized by a specific iconography able to provide a confirma- tion, although indirect, of the thesis worked out by the three authors. Key words: Eleusinian Mysteries, entheogens, ergot, psychotropic mushrooms, kykeon Introduction Similarly, Aristotle adds that “those that are initi- ated must not learn something but feel some emotions, Despite the centuries-old tradition of studies evidently after being prepared to receive them” and Plu- dedicated to the Eleusinian Mysteries, what really tarch points out how this vision provoked dizziness and happened within the Telesterion, the sancta sanctorum perspiration, standard symptoms that accompany the of the temple of Eleusis (1), is still unknown:
