Christina DongowskiToday, it’s a holiday in Germany (Re-Unification Day), and me & my partner are going for a hike to the ruins of a Roman villa rustica & their mithraeum. Last night, I read a bit about the cult of <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Mithras" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mithras</a>, and I find it endlessly fascinating, that such a big cult in its heyday could have vanished so utterly that it had to be rediscovered in the 19th century. And that we still don’t know a lot about it & probably still don’t have a good idea how these cult religions worked anyway,
