MEDITATIONS ON THE HEART OF ANTINOUS
(FIFTH INSTALLMENT)

By Priest Michaelus Isom



TODAY'S installment is the fifth in the Heart of Antinous. So far, we have discussed that the heart of Antinous is full of wonder, brave, compassion and duty. 

Today we will add to that of SEEKER. 

First, lets look at Hadrian. He was a man who himself was a seeker. He was the only Emperor to have traveled the entire Empire of Rome. 

He was always interested in new ways of improving not only the empire but himself. 

For Antinous to have been with Hadrian he too had to possess the same qualities. If not, Hadrian would have been bored quickly and Antinous replaced. 

So Antinous had many of the same interest as Hadrian. 

Not only did Antinous also seek knowledge but above all else spiritual knowledge. 

We know of at least six times Antinous was initiated into varies mystery cults. 

Each of these cults possessed their own spiritual knowledge so, within these cults Antinous was seeking wisdom and knowledge far beyond the mundane world. 

What do you seek in Antinous? 

AVE ANTINOUS!
PRIEST MICHAELUS

  1. Dear Adriaan, you clearly are following in the footsteps of Antinous and Hadrian, who prized Hellenistic principles of learning, tolerance and wisdom. Blessings of love and life and joy to you always and forever!
