Description
The Eleusinian rites are thought to have emerged from the Greek myth of the goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone to bring forth abundance from the earth. Yet strikingly similar ritual and legends appear in the doctrines of Freemasonry, Buddhism, the early Church, and other religions and spiritual traditions. This book explains the core mythology of Demeter and the many stories thought to be born of the myth.
