The Mysteries of Mithras, the Book of Snakes & Zoroastrian Omens
Mithras - temple fresco in Marino, Italy. 2nd Century A.D.
All too often the English language refers to pagans as an insult, or a primitive people. Yet some of our most common roots are deep within these complex and highly telling belief systems, one of which: Mithraism Nabarz upholds as Persia’s greatest export to date. Sufi-mystic Payam Nabarz discusses Phrygian Caps, snakes in ancient Persia and the calender of the moon. Zoroastrian and Sufi interests brought Payam to read up about Mithras, and he has steeped his life in the esoteric history of Iran and Zoroastrian rituals, publishing several books and numerous papers on aspects of both, available from Amazon
Fari interviews him on what Mithraism is and different Persian calenders, both of which many of the Resonancefm audience are hearing about for the first time! For a deeper conversation on these matters refer to late Dec 2008 when we are inviting Nabarz back in the studio or stage 2 in our radio foray into Persian esoterica!
This show was broadcast live from Resonancefm studios, London on March 31st 2008
Music: Kali Z. Fasteau
Thank you so much Nabarz for the e-mail and link to your radio interview. Although your chat was interesting it was basic and I would love someday to have a deeper discussion with you on Zoroaster and Mithras. For now I will say thank you again and please feel free to send any link or message.
Who’s the banker in need of a hair cut?
Can’t wait to hear the podcast.

I have a question:
Is there a copy in persian language available?
Calcifer
Hi do you mean a copy of the show? I’m afraid not. If you mean a copy of the book we could find out. Please let us know what you mean, meanwhile Nabarz also has a myspace.
Hello
Thank your for the response.
I mean a copy of the book in farsi.
best regards
