RE: More bull on TR

I breezed over "golden bough" and found no bull sacrifice
but they have a ram section so will keep u posted. . . .

This is only according to this guy. .


"Both Mithraism and Christianity had symbolic sacrifice—Christianity of a man,
Mithraism of a bull. Shedding animal blood was a substitute for shedding
human blood. The bull could be changed for a ram. The ram, in the
Persian Zodiac,
is a lamb, so the Mithraic sacrifice was of a lamb, just as Jesus is
the Paschal Lamb."




Allright. . .jeez. . .reviewing "Apocalypse Now" in brain. . .
so . . .uhh. . .Marlon Brando as Kurtz was the sacrifice
cuz he got killed in juxtaposition to bull sacrifice?

I am more confused now than less
