Newsletter - Fall/Winter 2022

 

2022 has been a good year for the Temple of Iarhibol as our website continues to be updated, and new items have become available in our shop! It is our hope that the Light of Iarhibol will be renewed and continue to shine on the world. The spiritual Sun energy over which Iarhibol presides is much needed today. His Light brings clarity, dispells spiritual darkness and brings positive energy to all who seek him.

Iarhibol is one of the many "lost" deities that can play a critical role today. As a pre-islamic deity of the Middle East, his power is well placed to help bring new light to an area of the world that has for centuries suffered under religious extremism and social turmoil. There is no part of the world where the more peaceful ancient energies are needed.

MITHRACON 2023

The annual New England Mithraic Studies Conference , or "Mithracon" has not been announced for 2023 but it is possible that we will be able to meet again now that Corona virus protocol is lessened. Dates for the next MithraCon will be announced as soon as possible! Highlights of this event include a day of research in the Yale University Library, and a trip to see the Iarhibol icons and altar at the Dura Europos exhibit at the Yale University Art Museum. REGISTRATION INFO is on the MithraCon website.

The Temple of Iarhibol is also working to coordinate with Byzantium Novum, a sovereignty project dedicated to the restoration of Byzantine civilization and culture. The ancient city of Palmyra was a part of the Byzatine empire until 664 AD, when the city was conqured by Muslim Arabs and the last vestiges of the ancient cultures were abandoned. Byzantium Novum is open to all religions, including the religions of the late Classical world, so this new community is a home in which Iarhibol again plays a role.

The Temple continues to be active on Facebook, and we are doing all we can to spread the word about the return of Iarhibol to the world!

May the Light of Iarhibol shine on us all!
