The mystery religions ​

History
1 answer:
DochEvi [55]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Mystery religion, any of various secret cults of the Greco-Roman world that offered to individuals religious experiences not provided by the official public religions. They originated in tribal ceremonies that were performed by primitive peoples in many parts of the world.

Explanation, the word mystery is derived from the Greek verb mien (“to close”), referring to the lips and the eyes.

History  

Dionysiac

In every Greek city the god Dionysus was worshipped by fraternities and sororities and also by mixed communities. Dionysus was a god of fruitfulness and vegetation but especially of wine. The Dionysiac festivals provided an opportunity for stepping outside of the daily routine. The festivals included not only drinking wine and engaging in sexual activity but also participating in such significant features of Greek civilization as choral singing and mimes. In many cases, only the initiated could participate in the ceremonies. As almost every Greek did join in, initiation into the Dionysiac cult might be compared to tribal initiations. It seems that initiation into the Dionysiac Mysteries was accompanied by initiation into sexual life.

Is anyone from here doing witchcraft? And do the spellings work ? Could you just explain ?
mel-nik [20]

I am actually practicing witchcraft. Yes the spells work. From my experience casting spells on other people is bad and it can result on it happening to you or you losing something.*you usually get a consequence* Some spells involve different things like candles, or herbs. Some spell don't require anything but for you to recite them. Us of the craft also like to make things like moonwater and blacksalt. We use moon water for plants to  bless them and help them grow strong. We use moon water to get rid of bad vibes and negativity. We use moon water for protection and many other things. We use black salt not just for food but with ours spells and also to drive away evil spirits.

  We make books called Book of Shadows. In the book of shadows we write about our life experiences, spells, chants,moon phases and many other things important to us. Book of Shadows is usually personal.  As a witch i have heard rude comments like were evil and worship the devil? But this is not true we work and communicate with the earth. WE are connected to the earth and moons and sometimes planets. Some of us even have gods and goddesses. Although we have some evil witches that use the craft to do bad things. I believe dark and light are equal. Without darkness we can not have light. Sometimes the darkness is beautiful and sometimes the light is blinding. I use the craft to do good. We also have altars altars contain symbols, books of spells, and plants. * It is different for every witch and you dont' have to have one*  We have witches who can craft freely and Closet witches. Closet witches basically to the craft in private because it is not accepted in their family or where they live. Closet witches hide their practice to because their shy or to protect themselves.

This is all i can tell you. Hope it helped. Bye! )O(
