Happy Mithrasmas to all you pagans, atheists, agnostics, oh heck, happy Mithrasmas to everybody. I am posting the lyrics to “Mithras the Sun-god”, sung to the tune of “Frosty the Snowman”, as promised.
<table><tr><td width=250><font size=2 face=arial>Mithras the Sun-God
Was a jolly happy soul,
And he slew a bull
On solstice day
So the world would not get cold
Mithras the Sun-God
Is a solar myth they say,
But the Gnostics know
He obeyed the crow
And he killed that bull one day
The Sun required a sacrifice
To keep from getting dim,
And when Mithras slew the bull, old Sol
Came down to feast with him.
Mithras
the Sun-God
He saved the world from Night,
And his immolation
Also brought salvation
To the men who sought the Light.
Pater accipe, Sancte accipe
Thuricremos leones,
Per quos thuradamus,
Per quos consumimur
Ipsi, O Meithra!
Mithras the Sun-God
Asia Minor was his home,
But his chosen priest
Travelled from the East
And established his cult at Rome.

<table width=30 height=300 align=left><tr><td> </td></tr></table><font size=2 face=arial>Mithras the Sun-God
Had an initiatory cult,
Through seven degrees
They sought Light and Peace
In a subterranean vault.
There must have been some magic
In that Phrygian cap he wore,
For when they placed it on their heads
His initiates were reborn.
Jesus the Sun-God
Made Mithras go away,
But he waved goodbye
Saying ‘Don’t you cry,
I’ll be back again some day!’

LOL! Goudere, you are a friggin’ genius!
And a very merry Mithrasmas to you too!

You guys are celebrating Mass for/to Mithras?
Do we kiss under the Mithras toe?
That all depends… Who with, and when was the last time it was washed?

No mas. No mas.
The best lack all conviction
The worst are full of passionate intensity.
