The Test Of The Crown

°°° °°° °°°

In the Mithraic Mystery Schools, an initiate — once the grade of Miles was attained — would be tested by being offered a crown (Cumont, 1913). The test was to determine worthiness and whether or not the initiate was a threat to the true bearer of the crown. On a slightly more esoteric level, it was a means of deciphering if the initiate was without hubris (ὕβρις). It was believed that if the initiate had not already began the Solve of the ego, then they would be incapable of Coagula before the throne of Mithras.

An analysis and investigation into the role of Outer Representative and the trial of Ryan Anschaaung.

Curiously, Ryan first became a student of Christos Beest in 2004 — who by then had succeeded Anton Long’s position (Beest, 2000) — and was initiated into the mysteries he kept. Why then, was Ryan re-tested by another, albeit alleged member of the Old Guard; moreover, why did that later lead to his ostracisation by O9A, TOB and WSA when as stated by Chloe in an inner O9A email to Scott Liddell and others, Ryan was one of five (number three to be exact) persons whom she believed had “risen to the top” (Ortega and Liddell, et al.)?
