Bel Mithra (God)
Bel Mithra Auroch'n (a.k.a. Bull of Heaven, the World Bull, Enkidu, Mithra, Belos, Belus, Bos Turokh, and others.)
Mithra is from the race called Auroch'n. Bel isn't actually the name of the god, it is a title, meaning 'Lord, Master, Commander or Overlord' rather than a given name, applied to various gods in areas that the Atlanteans once controlled. The main God, has Bel in front of his name, while his underling/younger gods have it placed behind their names. The feminine form is Belit 'Lady, Mistress'. In the language of some areas, the title changed to Belos, Bos, Ba'al, or Belus.
In many legends, he was born as a bull from the Mother Goddess of Nature, Innana. Originally, he seems to have been a god of thunderstorms. Later he came to be thought of as the god of order and destiny. He has been portrayed with a Minotaur-like form, with a bullhead or at times a full-bodied bull, because of this he had an affinity for bovines of all types and his first children were the large Aurochs and many other bovines descended from them. His look depends on the form he appears in, his various forms are listed below:
- Man with horns and wings
- Man with bull horns, sometimes with a sun disc between them
- Minotaur: a combination of a man and bull
- Man with a bullhead
- Man with horns
- Bull with wings and beard
- Bull with plate horned armor
- Man with blond or brown hair
- Bull with beard and sun disc
- He can also be seen in various combinations of those listed above.
In his younger years, he was often found dancing, leaping, and wrestling with bovine herds, and his children were thought to have been descended from a cow he had a fondness for. He is often seen riding his firstborn auroch son, a few of his offspring even inherited his wings. Some of his worshipers witnessed his exuberance with his chosen companions and so was born the sport of bull-leaping and -dancing.
His favorite weapon is a war ax, war mace, or war hammer.

Religious Views
His views are similar to the teachings of Buddha.
- To seek to reach a state of nirvana. For Mithras, this is through exercise.
- The path to Enlightenment is through the practice and development of morality, meditation, and wisdom. The eightfold path of right views, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.
- Nothing is lost in the universe
- Everything Changes
- The Law of Cause and Effect
- Virtue, good conduct, morality. This is based on two fundamental principles: The principle of equality: that all living entities are equal. The principle of reciprocity: This is the "Golden Rule" in Christianity - to do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you.
- Concentration, meditation, mental development. Developing one's mind is the path to wisdom which, in turn, leads to personal freedom. Mental development also strengthens and controls our mind; this helps us maintain good conduct.
- Discernment, insight, wisdom, enlightenment. This is the real heart of Buddhism. Wisdom will emerge if your mind is pure and calm.
- Suffering exists: Life is suffering. Suffering is real and almost universal. Suffering has many causes: loss, sickness, pain, failure, and the impermanence of pleasure.
- There is a cause of suffering. Suffering is due to attachment. It is the desire to have and control things. It can take many forms: craving sensual pleasures; the desire for fame; the desire to avoid unpleasant sensations, like fear, anger or jealousy.
- There is an end to suffering. Attachment can be overcome. Suffering ceases with the final liberation of Nirvana. The mind experiences complete freedom, liberation, and non-attachment. It lets go of any desire or craving.
- In order to end suffering, you must follow the Eightfold Path.
- Do not kill. This is sometimes translated as "not harming" or an absence of violence.
- Do not steal. This is generally interpreted as including the avoidance of fraud and economic exploitation.
- Do not lie. This is sometimes interpreted as including name-calling, gossip, etc.
- Do not misuse sex. Adultery is forbidden, along with any sexual harassment or exploitation, including that within marriage.
- Do not consume alcohol or other drugs. The main concern here is that intoxicants cloud the mind. Some have included as a drug other methods of divorcing ourselves from reality.
