The Mithraic Rite traces its lineage to ancient Indo-European traditions, drawing from Indic, Iranian, and Italic sources. Mithras, evolving from Vedic Mitrá (god of authority and oaths) and Persian Mithra (Solar enforcer of law), emerges in Roman Mithraism as a cosmic force who slays a bull (the Tauroctony). This act symbolizes the triumph of order over chaos, a core Indo-European motif. The Rite cultivates these primordial roots for contemporary seekers, offering a framework to realign with eternal truth and divine order.
Invoking the Heroic Solar chrism, a Mithraic initiate stands unbowed under the weight of collapse. The Rite equips him to navigate modernity's Occult War - a metaphysical battle against forces of dissolution - through spiritual combat and inner fortitude. As the text declares, "To live as Mithras is not to act as a man of light, but to be light itself."
ARYA AETERNA BOOK I
Ordo Arya Aeterna is a school of Perennial Wisdom grounded in Radical Tradition, Magical Idealism, and Indo-European spirituality. This occult sodality consists of anonymous initiates collectively operating in service to the Great Work and furthering a Northern Esoteric Tradition.
The Mithraic Rite is not for the masses, but an elite few who dare wield the blade in spiritual warfare. It offers a militant, actionable approach: a way to rise above decay, rooted in Roman heritage and Traditional ideals. For the man among the ruins it is a challenge to reclaim sovereignty and illuminate the darkness of our age.
