This supplement to the author's study of Indo-European cosmology employs ancient insights to illuminate the sacrificial, theurgic, and gnostic systems developed by the Japhetic Aryans and the Hamitic Egyptians, Sumerians, and later Indians. The original yogic understanding of the macrocosmic dimension of the human microcosm informs both Vedic fire-rituals and later Agamic temple-rituals, as they focus on the solar force present in ritual fire, divine idols, and human devotees. A consistent picture emerges of the seemingly diverse religions of the Indo-Europeans. This work should interest all students of Hinduism, the religions of the ancient Near East, and the spiritual culture of the Indo-Europeans.
