Occult Secrets of Ancient Persia

The term astro-theology explores the role that the stars, sun, moon, and other “heavenly bodies” have played in the formation of various religions and mythological systems. In these systems, the moon was often described as a feminine figure and the sun was frequently given masculine traits, which symbolically represented alchemical concepts utilized in mystery schools and various secret societies. More from Robert Sepehr, anthropologist and author.

Persian Occult Mysticism

Demons, genies (jinn), and disincarnate spirits permeate ancient occult traditions in the Middle East and neighboring countries. An early 20th-century Persian manuscript on magic and astrology provides a glimpse into this mystical world with dozens of watercolor illustrations of metaphysical and otherworldly creatures, and a book of spells listing incantation and talismans from pre-Islamic Iran, Arabian Peninsula, and Egypt. More from Robert Sepehr, author and anthropologist.

Hidden History of Europe

The swastika (卐) was used as the cross of the Manicheans, a religious movement started in the latter half of the third century. that was founded by the Iranian prophet Mani in the Sasanian Empire. Manichaeism taught an elaborate dualistic cosmology describing the struggle between a good, spiritual world of light, and an evil, material world of darkness. Its beliefs were based on local Mesopotamian religious philosophy, Buddhism, Tantra, and Christian Gnosticism.

Catharism was a christian Gnostic movement that thrived in some areas of Southern Europe, particularly what is now northern Italy and southern France, between the 12th and 14th centuries. Followers were known as Cathars, and their beliefs were said to have been brought from Persia, influenced by concepts rooted in the Manichean philosophy.
