re merlin mithras and magick in response to whitten fwva saic com david whitten i wrote there evidently was a feast of bread and wine associated with mithras i have often wondered if yeshua intentionally introduced this ritual to expand the appeal of his religion or if it was appropriated by later worshipers and you responded you could argue that if you wanted but i think a more reasonable argument would point out the fact that the remembrance feast was very similar to the pesach passover meal during seder a very jewish ritual of course the feast was the seder and the accounts of it are very clear on this point the difference is the connection between the bread and wine and the body and blood of god this is an old association of the tammuz osiris mithras line and not really related to judaism in any case i didn t really intend to argue the point i saw a possible association and pointed it out but i haven t the foggiest notion what really happened larry caldwell caldwell ohsu edu compuserve oregon health sciences university
