Sacred Mysteries
Sacred mysteries are the areas of supernatural phenomena associated with a divinity or a religious belief and praxis. Sacred mysteries may be either: # Religious beliefs, rituals or practices which are kept secret from the uninitiated. # Beliefs of the religion which are public knowledge but cannot be easily explained by normal rational or scientific means. Although the term "mystery" is not often used in anthropology, access by initiation or rite of passage to otherwise secret beliefs is an extremely common feature of indigenous religions all over the world. A mystagogue or hierophant is a holder and teacher of secret knowledge in the former sense above, while mysticism may be defined as an area of philosophical or religious thought focusing on mysteries in the latter sense. Greece and Rome The mystery religions of antiquity were religious cults which required initiation of an "initiate" or new member before they were accepted, and sometimes had different levels of initiation, ...

Renaissance Choros
"The Mysteries: ''Renaissance Choros''", or "The Mysteries", is a poem by American poet H.D. first published in 1931, as the concluding poem of her poetry anthology ''Red Roses for Bronze''. Inspired by the Eleusinian Mysteries, the poem concerns a ritual meant to resurrect Adonis. Summary Throughout the poem, which is "short lined and diffuse", the poet employs repetition, for instance in Section IV, where the term "no man" appears several times, or in Section V, where the word ''behold'' is mentioned three consecutive times and twice at another point. The opening lines of "The Mysteries: ''Renaissance Choros''" allude to the approaching world war: "Dark / days are past / and darker days draw near; / darkness on this side, / darkness over there". A direct reference to the words of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark ( 4:39) appears further down: " Peace / be still." Jesus is called a "magician" in the second part of "The Mysteries", recalling H.D.'s earlier poem "Magician" (1933), whi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
