FALL 2002
The Temple of Iarhibol website is up and running at
last! The basic infrastructure of the website is now set, and the
various sections will continue to be updated. The Temple mailing list is
also online, and promises to be a good forum for discussion, trading
information, etc. More news will be
posted as the Temple grows...
SPRING EVENTS 2003:
Friday, April 4 to Sunday, April 6, 2003
MITHRACON V: THE FIFTH NEW ENGLAND CONFERENCE ON
MITHRAISM IN NEW HAVEN CONNECTICUT
MithraCon now has its own website at: www.mithracon.org
with complete registration/event info!
Although this convention is about Mithras, there will be a
presentation on Iarhibol given at this year's event. The visit to the
Yale University Art Gallery will include a visit to surviving Palmyran
artifacts (including an inscribed altar and temple frescoes) from the
worship of Iarhibol.
This is an informal research convention concentrating on early mythology
and religion, especially Mithraism and other cults of the Roman Empire.
It is held in New Haven, CT, the home of Yale University. We plan to
spend most of Saturday in Yale's Sterling Memorial Library doing
whatever research your heart desires. After dinner (the usual pilgrimage
to the New Deal Steak House), there will be informal presentations (a
Carousel slide projector, projection screen, and an overhead projector
will be available), as well as some darn good discussions. Sunday: visit
the Dur Europa mithraeum (Yale Art Gallery; that opens at noon). The
hotel is within walking distance of the library and gallery. A Staples
(cheap Xeroxing!) and a Barnes & Noble bookstore are also close by.
We can also plan used book shopping expeditions for Sunday; there are
some good dealers in the area.
