The Spiritual Foundations
Paragraph
Orphism is associated with the mythical poet of Orpheus who descended into Hades and returned. In the first listed article the author states that Pythagoreanism and Orphism have parallels in their views, however it is uncertain as to which influenced the other. Both articles state the same criteria of Orphism in the sense that human souls are characterized as "divine" however, they are doomed to live in a cycle; by living an ascetic life with secret rites in order to release their souls and be in better communion with God; warning of postmortem punishment for transgressions during life; and being founded upon the sacred writings about the origins of gods and of human beings.
