Solar cult

The Solar Cult refers to ancient religious groups that worshiped the sun as a divine or life-giving force. These cultures often celebrated solar events like solstices and equinoxes through rituals, believing the sun’s energy was central to life, agriculture, and spiritual well-being. Examples include the Egyptian worship of Ra, the Aztec sun gods, and early Bronze Age societies. Their practices reflected the sun’s vital role in sustaining ecosystems and influencing human existence, aligning spiritual beliefs with natural celestial cycles to honor its power and importance.
