Seven Mithraic Grades: An Initiatory or Priestly Hierarchy?

Original language description

The article re-opens the problem of Mithraic Grades in the light of some new important discoveries. It comes to conclusion that 1)they can still be seen as initiatory and at least theoretically a religious goal of all Mithraists; 2) they were verticallystructured and initiation into them imitated a journey of the soul through planetary spheres; 3) they were universal and existed in all (or at least in the majority of) Mithraic communities; 4)they were an integral part of Mithraic ideology and were usedfrom the very beginnings of the cult.
