The Temple of the Eternal Antinous is a group dedicated to rebuilding and reestabishing the worship of the Divine Antinous . Antinous the God was worshipped throughout the ancient Greco-Roman world - his cult was a popular rival to Christianity, and his worship was maintained until the 4th Century CE. All topics related to both the ancient and modern worship of Antinous are welcome here. The Temple of the Eternal Antinous is also dedicated to the discussion of issues, whether of worship and the devlopment of rituals for the worship of Antinous or theology, myth or meditation, surrounding the worship of Antinous, the Divinized Boy of Bithynia, and his relevance to queer people in particular. Here we will discuss issues surrounding the cult of Antinous such as its history, festivals, personal beliefs, magic, miracles, dreams, and anything else composed within the mysteries of our Lord Antinous.
ANTINOUS is the God of Youth,Beauty
And Homosexuality,This group is dedicated to Gay Spirituality in all forms, with emphasis on Male Beauty, Sexuality, Inner-Sanctity, and Humanism.As worshipers of Antinous we must always remeber and honor the love of Hadrian for Antinous and his death in the Nile River. And his Rebirth into Life as a God.
The Religion of Antinous emphasized peace and unity of all mankind,and was also a religion of individual salvation.
Antinous is only associated with one goddess in all of his ancient temples,and it was certainly not as a consort--namely Diana/Artemis,as Lanuvium at the temple which the two shared in patronage of a burial society.Antinous and Diana/Artemis are both patrons of Homeoeroticism in males and females.The Temple of the Eternal Antinous is also open to bisexuals/straights/transexuals who wish to learn and worship Antinous alongside which ever deities they already worship.All are welcome regardless of gender.
Antinous has triumphed over Death for us,
For Homosexuals and for our Salvation,
He has opened the gates of heaven
