A while back I was reading books about modern witchcraft and even read some historical books talking about satanism among the upperclasses of american in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
When I came to IU the first time I was really 22. I was at that age when certain parts of the brain become hardened. A lot of people came out to be real nice to me and tell me paganism was benign, but when I was younger, maybe about 3 years younger or so, I started drawing zeebus all over my notebooks, or humped cows with tall sweeping horns. For some reason people liked to point them out to me for a while. Around the time they start to apear in my notebooks, I must have seen a gold or bronze bull mask. I remember hearing about the labarinth and crete as well.
I dont know what Mithras cults are into, however in popular historical fiction human blood sacrifice is mentioned. As mithraism was practiced in mespopotamia, babylon and persia, its easy to imagine why some companies started in the heyday of american occultism might support these populations to hang around, as they obviously have the ability to withdraw support and to actively expell people from the area.
By encouraging superstitous ignorant people to keep their heads low and their pikes high, they also get an added layer of protection. If anyone tries to escape the grasp of their satanic rule, its pointed out to them that they arent christains or really white and no one will help them at all.
Ivy was only a cat. Cool as all get out, but no one's familiar. Thats why becky killed her.
So I guess Im alive to tell this tale because you are down one Mithras priest. Please let me know if you would like to be down two.
