Pan

Description

The Eleusinian Mysteries were initiation ceremonies held every year for the cult of Demeter and Persephone and were based at Eleusis in ancient Greece. Of all the mysteries celebrated in ancient times, these were held to be the ones of greatest importance.

The rites, ceremonies, and beliefs were kept secret, as initiation was believed to unite the worshipper with the gods and included promises of divine power and rewards in the afterlife.

What we do know is that the ceremony began in Athens with a purification and parade to the sea. The great procession of initiates then traveled to Eleusis, where the mysteries of the Gods and Goddesses were unveiled through the myth of Demeter and Persephone. The culmination of events took place in the Telesterion after passage into the Underworld. Secret and sacred objects were shown to the initiated, and the priestesses and Gods would all reveal a vision symbolizing life after death, renewal, and rebirth.
