Notes
Some readers have pointed out that the names of the individual books appear to correspond with the Latin and Greek names of the seven stages of Mithraic initiation. This is correct. The stages of initiation are:
1) Corax (Crow)
2) Nymphus (Male Bride)
3) Miles (Soldier)
4) Leo (Lion)
5) Perses (The Persian)
6) Heliodromus (Courier of the Sun)
7) Pater (Father)
