To note: Third century developments from contact with East, i.e cults of fortune and fate, Sun and planets as gods, orientalizing
mystery religions. Second century, astrology, and mystery religions sometimes as escape from the planetary gods. Tendency
to view the sect’s god as the only one, or at least the most powerful, others’ gods as aspects of one’s own, or subordinate
to one’s own. So Isis cult: purification and lustration, raised to 8 th sphere to meet Isis, soul becomes free of influence of stars
once free of the stain of sin, ascends to the goddess after death, freed from the body.
