You walk towards the entrance to a cavern, two torch-bearers either side
of you. Carved into the rock, are two figures representing the sun and the moon.
To the left stands Sol, pointing down, and to the right Luna points upward. A
solar orb sits above the Sol's head and a crescent above the moon.
As you enter the dark confines of the cavern, the torches cast odd shadows upon
the cavern walls. They remind you of devils, sent from the underworld to torture
and torment.
Leaving such thoughts behind, you reach your destination an underground
temple. Flaming torches illuminate the temple. You see on its walls a "zodiac
wheel,” on which the 12 signs of the zodiac are depicted.
Center-piece of the temple is a white marble representation of a man kneeling on
a bull, holding it by the horns with his left hand, and stabbing it with his right.
As he does so, a dog and snake reach up to taste the blood, and an angry
scorpion seizes the bull's genitals. The man on the bull is dressed in a toga, and
is looking towards you.
From behind the temple's center-piece, an elderly man appears and approaches
you. He explains the symbolism of what you have seen.
Your initiation into the secret "mysteries of Mithras" has begun.
The Esoteric Power of the Sun
The Ancient Masters saw within the sun a spiritual reality that could be used to
enhance their affirmations, and manifest their desires. They saw around it a ring
of energy that they could draw on with the power of mind.
It was knowledge of this subtle psychic energy that led to the sun being
worshipped as a god. The supreme god of the ancient Egyptians was Ra,
a God of the Sun. Sun worship became a religion that spread across the ancient
world.
One such religion was "the mysteries of Mithras," which was first practiced in
the 1st century AD. The cult was strictly for men only and became popular
among the military of the Roman Empire. Followers of Mithraism met in
underground temples and had a system of seven levels of graded initiation,
complete with ritual meals.
There is no god in the western pantheon more controversial than Mithras. He
was controversial 2000 years ago, and is still so today. For no two occultists can
agree if Mithras represents the sun, or is a separate entity. Mutual agreement
cannot even be reached on his name; some say it is Mithras, while others claim it
to be Mithra. In the context of this work, Mithras is the spirit essence of the sun.
Now, I am not advocating the practice of sun worship (well, maybe a bit). But I
do want to make you aware of an intelligent energy that responds to the name:
Mithras. It is this powerful energy that you will use to bring your desires to you
from the cosmic world.

Sol Invictus
In scientific terms, the sun is located at the center of our solar system
(approximately 93 million miles from the Earth) and, at 418,000 miles in
diameter, is the largest body in the system. The sun is composed of 74%
hydrogen and 24% helium, and has three layers: the photosphere, the
chronosphere, and the corona.
On a more esoteric level, the ancients saw the sun as the source of all good
things. The sun provided light and warmth. They also sensed its creative energy
that could influence events on Earth, and could be appealed to in times of
misfortune. When the sun was eclipsed by the moon, it was considered a bad
omen.
In astrology each of the zodiac planets plus the sun and the moon has a specific
symbol that represents the characteristics of each celestial body. The symbol of
the sun is a dot at the center of a circle. This represents the invisible energy that
surrounds the sun.
The sun has a role to play in fortune-telling, too. The first 22 cards of a Tarot
deck are known as the major arcana. The 19th card is The Sun. It denotes life,
vitality, progress and growth.
Sol invictus, unconquered sun, power center of our solar system.
The Days and Rites of Mithras
Little is known about the rites of the cult of Mithras. I have received information
in my meditations that tell me that the rites revealed in this book possess the
essence of those ancient rites.
You may begin your Mithraic Rituals on the first day of the second half of the
month, and the first month of the second half of the year:
The 16th day of January.
The 16th day of February.
The 16th day of March.
The 16th day of April.
The 16th day of May.
The 16th day of June.
The 16th day of August.
The 16th day of September.
The 16th day of October.
The 16th day of November.
The 16th day of December.
These are the days which are sacred to Mithras. Repeat the ritual daily until end
of month. If proper results are not obtained wait until the 16th day of the
following month, and begin again.
During these rites, incidentally, it is not advisable to smoke, drink or eat. Also,
no alcoholic beverage or drug should be taken for at least two hours before a
ritual is started. If it is convenient, loose clothing should be worn
After you have worked your magic, eat a small bread roll and drink a glass of
spring water in honor of the "Water Miracle" in which Mithras fired a bolt into a
rock, and from the rock came forth water.
The Call to Mithras
Spend a few moments considering the true meaning of those words, and think
about how Mithras' presence in your life would benefit you. Take a few minutes,
each day, to recite the affirmation. After a few days you will feel an inner
radiance starting to permeate your entire being. This "inner glow" is the Golden
Blessing of Mithras.
Uniting With the Spirit Essence
Move to a comfortable chair, sit down and relax with your eyes closed. See, in
your mind, the dynamic power at the center of our planetary system: the
magnificent, beautiful, awesome sun. Sense its invisible, creative energy. And
feel its loving warmth surround you.
With your eyes still closed, imagine a tiny point of glowing light sweeping down
from the center of the sun. Feel it enter the top of your head, and slowly center it
in the middle of your head.
According to the ancients, the unity of life and consciousness is symbolized by a
central light that dwells between the eyes. The glowing light that you see in your
mind's eye is that unity.
You and the Mithraic Mirror
You can start right now using this psychic aspect of your mind to have anything
you wish come to you. With the Mithraic Mirror, you can have it all now. What
is the Mithraic Mirror you may ask. It is, in effect, a mental video screen onto
which you project your desire in crystal clear clarity. When you want to bring
something wonderful and fulfilling into your life, always image it in exact detail.
In this way, it will manifest in your life.
If you image it as something nebulous, that is how it will always remain
intangible. It will never quite come to you. Instead of creating golden
opportunities, you will (instead) create missed opportunities.
The Mithraic Mirror works in this way. You get exactly what you project onto it.
If it is a new car you want, visualize the make and model you want. Let your
mind get the feel of it. You need to get involved in what you are seeing on the
Mithraic Mirror. Here is a lesson in visualization.
Mithraic Creation Rite
You have now spoken the Call to Mithras, drawn in his essence and centered it
in the middle of your head. See it become a pulsating orb of limitless power.
With eyes closed, visualize an ornate hand-mirror before your mind's eye. This is
your Mithraic Mirror, on which you will now project what you wish to have
appear in your life. Whatever you see reflected in the mirror will become a
reality. See it as clearly as you can.
You are now ready to put the creative process into motion. Give thanks to
Mithras for his help, and you release the dynamic solar energy that you have
centered in your mind. This will make your desire a reality. Say:
Remove the image from your mind and open your eyes. Your wish will soon be
granted.
Say it to yourself as you go about your daily chores. Believe in its power to
overcome the negativity that has kept happiness away from you. Now, let us
review the process for wish fulfillment.
Begin the Call to Mithras on the 16th day of the month.
With eyes closed, draw in spirit essence and center it in the middle of your
head.
See your wish reflected in the Mithraic Mirror.
Give thanks to Mithras for granting your wish.
Re-enact the Water Miracle.
This simple magic will take about 15 minutes to complete, from beginning to
end. Use it constantly, and your most extravagant wishes can be realized. Once
you realize that you can attract whatever you want or need, you will no longer be
restricted by limited thinking.
2. MITHRAS: SPIRIT OF GOLD
In the context of this work, money is a manifestation of the spirit essence of the
sun. This rather abstract thought is not easy to understand, but I urge you to
make every effort to do so. Once your mind accepts it as fact you will possess a
magic formula, which can bring you good fortune and money sufficient to cover
your financial need. It will also fill you with such an air of confidence, that your
friends and associates will notice a change in your outlook on life. This is good,
and as it should be.
You could probably do with a dose of instant cash. Give this simple ritual a try.
On the 16th day of the month (or any day during the month of July), imagine
you are standing on a hill, with nothing but the wonderful, glorious sun above
you.
See the sun showering you with golden rays of prosperity. Try to actually breathe
in this subtle energy. Feel it circulating within you. As the rays shower your
body, say (or think):
Give thanks to Mithras for raining down his power rays upon you. Now, relax
and enjoy the days ahead, for there will be money coming from unknown
sources and manifestations of good fortune you never thought possible. All you
have to do is - BELIEVE!
Your Invisible Energy Field
Just as the sun has a subtle field of creative energy surrounding it, you possess
around you a power that can bring you the things you seek. In the first half of the
20th century, a Russian electrician discovered that photographing his hand with
high voltage electricity, produced a weird emanation effect around the image of
his hand. He called this effect: Bioplasma. Psychics call it, the aura.
The aura is a subtle energy field with magnetic-like qualities that surrounds all
living things. It is the invisible power that can attract total strangers to each
other. It can also draw to you the persons needed to bring about the realization of
your desires. In a similar way, you are drawn toward those in whose plans you
are destined to play a role.
The Mithraic Way to Job Satisfaction
You can now have the kind of job you want. With Mithras' help, and new
thinking habits, you can make the money you want doing the work you enjoy. I
will show you how to use an occult concept called, the Law of Creation to bring
a new job or promotion at work to you. Once you learn how this power works,
you can use it to increase your income, and get what you want.
The Law of Creation can be described thus: When you concentrate on your
desire, you create it psychically, at which point it begins to materialize. If you
will follow the pattern I have given you in the visualization of the astrological
symbol of the sun in Chapter 1 you will be successful in the development of this
creative art. The whole point of the method is to give you a focal point to
concentrate your psychic energies on.
If it is a promotion that you want, get all the details of the position fixed in your
mind so that you can visualize yourself in the place of the person who is now
doing this work. If you want a new job, learn as much about it as you possibly
can. If at all possible, know every detail of the job you want.
Many people take the attitude that if they won a million dollars, all their
problems would be solved. Maybe, by some stroke of luck, it will happen. But
why depend on the Gods of Fate when you can assure yourself of a steady flow
of cash to meet financial needs, and the kind of job you want.
Mithraic Employment Rite
Now that you have selected the job you want, you are ready to draw on the solar
energies of Mithras. The following process will put this dynamic power to work
for you.
On the 16 day of the month, stand with the sunlight shining on your face. With
th
eyes closed, turn your face toward the sun and recite the Call to Mithras. Sit
down for a moment or two and think about how Mithras' presence in your life
would benefit you.
See, in your mind, a tiny point of glowing light sweeping down from the sun.
Feel it enter the top of your head, and slowly center it in the middle of your
head. Wait until it has become a pulsating, swirling orb of limitless power and
then visualize the job you want. See yourself in the job. Above all, feel the thrill
of accomplishment that will be yours.
When you are ready, thank Mithras for his help. Say:
"I give thanks to Mithras, for bringing this job that I want to me."
Remove the image from your mind and open your eyes. Your new job will soon
be on its way to you.
The Power of 7
In addition to the aura there are seven energy centers in the human body. Located
at the base of the spine, the solar plexus, the heart, the throat, the bridge of the
nose, the base of the skull, and the middle of the head, each of these energy
centers control a specific area of human life. When all seven centers are working
in unison you will be able to free yourself of the perplexities of life. Mithraic
Magic builds solar power into the centers and makes them active.
The number 7 plays an important role in "the mysteries of Mithras," there are 7
letters in Mithras, the 16th day of the month (6+1=7), the 7th month, seven
stages of initiation, and the name Mithras has a number value of 7 (3+4=7). In
numerology each letter of the alphabet is given a value from 1 to 9. It was this
mathematical formula that I used to calculate the number value of Mithras'
name.
The Mithraic Way to Good Fortune
How would you like to have the magic key to an Aladdin's Cave of fabulous
prizes? I will give you this key. When you learn the secret of the Mithraic Good
Fortune Rite, You will have the key to a world where you can have all the good
things that you want.
If your luck has been bad in the past, you can now change it. Through the proper
use of the Mithraic Good Fortune Rite, Mithras will help you win wonderful
prizes in the contest you will enter.
You cannot become a winner in life if your mind is fixated on the idea of bad
luck. Neither can you stay unlucky if you focus your thoughts on good fortune.
If you wish to win prizes in contests, fill your mind with thoughts of what you
will do when the prize comes to you. I cannot stress too highly the importance of
positive thinking habits. Negative energy can't exist where there is positive
energy. Use this affirmation to turn luck vibrations your way:
Let the affirmation fill you with joyful expectancy. Say it to yourself as you go
about your daily chores. Believe in its power to overcome the negativity that has
kept good fortune away from you.
On the 16th day of the month, stand with the sunlight shining on your face.
Close your eyes, turn your face toward the sun, and recite the Call to Mithras.
Sit down for a few minutes and think about how Mithras' presence in your life
would benefit you.
Imagine a tiny point of glowing light sweeping down from the sun. Feel it enter
the top of your head, and slowly center it in the middle of your head. Wait until
it has become a pulsating, swirling orb of limitless power and then visualize the
prize you want to win. See it in great detail. Feel, touch and possess it. Most
importantly, feel the excitement you will experience when whatever you wish to
win actually comes to you.
At this point, know that the object you desire is yours and, when you are ready,
give thanks to Mithras. Say:
"I give thanks to Mithras, (whatever you wish to win) is now mine."
Remove the image from your mind and open your eyes. When you use the
Mithraic Good Fortune Rite, get ready for dynamic changes in your luck. There
is no prize, large or small, that you cannot win, if you truly believe you can
receive it.
3.MITHRAS: ANGEL OF HEALTH
Yoga teaches that the mind and body are linked. If you have discordant thinking
habits, your health will be adversely affected. I will now show you how to
energize the creative power of the sun for better health, longer life, and more
vigor and vitality. It is my belief that with these methods minor illnesses can be
cured and pain eased. These methods should not be used as a substitute for
recognized medical treatment.
Mithraic Health Rite
To help banish general illnesses, try this simple healing rite. You have now
spoken the Call to Mithras, drawn in his spirit essence, centered it in the middle
of your head and seen it become a pulsating orb of limitless power.
See, in your mind, a bright, golden light shining down on you from above. The
golden light is solar energy given substance through your imagination. Try to
actually breathe in this solar light, feel it circulating within you. Your body will
absorb this energy to bring about a healing. When you are ready to bring the
ritual to an end, say:
"I give thanks to Mithras, for planting the seeds of health within me."
Remove the image from your mind and open your eyes. Your health should soon
begin to improve.
See him or her as vibrant and healthy, all signs of illness have faded away. When
you are ready to bring the ritual to an end, say:
"I give thanks to Mithras, for planting the seeds of health within
(name of person)."
Remove the image from your mind and open your eyes. Your friend's health
should soon begin to improve.
You can be Reborn
If you are mentally and physically depleted, you cannot realize your desires.
Time and life will begin to pass you by, and your thinking habits will be
negatively influenced. A mental attitude of rejection is formed, and your life
comes to a standstill.
The Mithraic Vitality Rite will take you out of this self-defeating cycle. You will
be reborn. Your mental powers will be energized and your body will tingle with
new vigor. No longer will you feel that life is passing you by.
Mithraic Vitality Rite
Before noon, on the 16th day of the month, when the sun is shining, fill a glass
with water (spring water is best) and cover it with a saucer.
Stand the glass on a window-sill with the sun shining on it. At noon, pick up the
glass of water. Remove the saucer. Lift the glass until the sunlight is reflected in
the water. Say:
Repeat this Rite daily, until the last day of the month. You may feel a little silly
at first, when you do this. But after a few days, when you begin to become more
alert and vigorous, you will feel quite differently.
7 Ways to a Healthier, Longer Life
There are certain foods that can have an almost magical effect on the body. Here
are some of them:
Wheat Germ
Yogurt
Bananas
Spinach
Honey
Apples
Oranges
If you are feeling washed out, these foods can put the sparkle back into your life.
Incorporate them into your diet, and watch what happens.
Healing Through Thought
Illness manifests through improper thinking habits. Since thought is the essence
of Mithraic Magic, it can be used to bring about a healing. You create illness
with the mind and you can correct illness with the mind. It's hard to enjoy life
when you are ill. So, please take care of yourself.
4. MITHRAS: BRINGER OF MIRACLES
The following Sun Prayers, as I call them, are based on the belief that every
unfavorable situation contains a tiny seed of salvation.
What are the Sun Prayers? They are special words of "focused thought" that are
used to reinforce the creative power of mind. In the next few pages, you will
discover some of these prayers you can use to help you realize your desires for
prosperity, love, new friends, power, and health more successfully.
The Sun Prayers are spoken at the end of the Call to Mithras to put the seal of
success on your Mithraic Magic workings. Alternatively, you may use them with
whatever prayers are appropriate to your faith. The power of prayer has been
misunderstood for centuries by the great mystics and occult masters. Now, the
truth is about to be placed in your own hands. Use it wisely.
The Sun Prayer for Prosperity
If you are looking to increase your bank balance, speak these words:
Then, for the next few minutes, listen with your mind. Suddenly, you will know
you must do to experience the prosperity that you are seeking.
Sit quietly and listen with your mind, and you will become aware of what you
must do to plant the seeds of love in the heart of another.
Here is a prayer that can bring you power over others, but only if it is intended
for worthwhile purposes. Use these words:
Now listen for the answer, and you will soon know exactly what you must do to
influence the thoughts and actions of others.
The Sun Prayer for New Friendships
Listen once more with your mind, and you will know exactly what you must do
to turn strangers into friends.
If you do not have good health, you have nothing at all. Church leaders know
that, when all else fails, the power of prayer can produce miracles of healing.
Here is how to encourage the seeds of health to grow within you. Use these
words:
You will soon feel the Healing Power begin to permeate your entire being.
Continue to follow your doctor's suggestions, and the seeds of health will grow
within you.
The Sun Prayer for Guidance
You have now completed your study of "the mysteries of Mithras." You have
learned how to apply the Rites of Mithraic Magic to change the circumstances of
your life. But this method, involving as it does, time and effort, is not always
feasible in emergencies when immediate help is needed. In times of trouble,
when help is needed fast, you can talk directly to Mithras.
Stand, either outside or at a window, with the sunlight shining on your face.
Close your eyes and turn your face toward the sun. Say (or think):
When you turn your face away from the sun, and open your eyes, the sign will
be before you. Act on it immediately. Use this method only when needed, else it
will fail you when you need it most. It's as simple as that.
The Chinvat Bridge
Long before any of the world's religions came into existence, mankind believed
there would be judgment for its actions after death. Ancient writings tell of a
state of existence which lasts 49 days after death, and souls pleading their
innocence in a courtroom beyond the gates of death.
How does this apply to "the mysteries of Mithras"? In Zoroastrianism, Mithras is
one of the three judges at the Chinvat Bridge, the "bridge of separation" between
the living and the dead that all souls must cross. If the good thoughts, deeds and
words outweigh the bad, the soul is allowed to cross the bridge to a world of
bliss and happiness.
What this means to you is this: if at times you have been foolish in the past, but
your heart was in the right place, and you tried to right the wrongs, you will reap
the bounty of a good life and find peace in truth, love and honor.
Don't Miss the Fantastic New Book by Carl Nagel
For over 30 years I have studied the hidden world of the Occult. Through all this
time I have come to realize one important thing in particular . . .
Latin is the language of magic.
It was the language most commonly used by magicians of ages past, and the
advantage to you reciting incantations in a foreign tongue is that it creates a
sense of disassociation with the everyday world which equates to a greater
chance of success in the magical manipulation of situations. Many of these
incantations have never appeared in print before.
They can help you to . . .
