It is definitely interesting.

Yes it's very interesting!
The mysteries schools of the mediterranean survived the suppression of the Roman Catholic Church and have taken a number of different forms.
They often concerned fertility both of the land and of people. In the UK there were festivals held to celebrate Robin Hood (Robin goodfellow/ Robin of the greenwood) and his consort maid marion (the may queen). People would dance around a maypole which is a fertility symbol and celebrate the coming of spring when the may queen (nature) was a young maiden. She would give birth to a son who was the new growth of spring and become older as the year progressed eventually becoming an old woman in winter as her powers declined.
The festival would often conclude with young folk running off into the forest and sleeping with each other whilst a figure dressed as friar tuck would go around comically blessing the mating couples! These unions would be a physical manifestation of the coupling of the may queen and her consort which in turn was an incarnation of Ishtar and her consort Tammuz from ancient Sumeria as a sort of hieros gamos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hieros_gamos )
The mystery schools which existed around the med (eg the Eleusinian mystery schools of greece) which predate christianity used wine and wheat symbolically in their rituals which i believe symbolise the produce of the sun as the sun makes both wheat and grapes grow.
This same symbolism is used in christianity because when Rome coopted christianity it merged it with pre-exisiting ideas such as the mystery schools. jesus was deified into a sun god.
The egyptians depict the life force of the sun as the ankh and it can be seen in their carved reliefs flowing from the sun. The sun was seen as a male force whilst the moon was seen as a female force. The life essence of the sun can be seen symbolically as semen. That is why Egyptians had obelisks and pyramids as these are representative of the male penis. Theirs was a solar phallic cult as is modern freemasonry (which is descended from egyptian beliefs) whose members wear aprons over their penis's in reverence.
That's partly why freemasons had obelisks from Egypt shipped to cities such as paris, london and new york and why they built a giant one called the 'washington memorial' in washington: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatras_Needle
They conduct their ceremonies at night but noon is also an important time for them as that is when the sun is at its highest point in the sky and has chased away all the shadows of seth
I spoke to a practitioner of qigong recently who told me that the chinese used to go to bed when the sun set and rose when the sun rose. This helped them balance out their yin and yang, one of which is male/solar and the other is female/lunar.
this is significant because ideas have been flowing backwards and forwards between the east and west for millenia and egyptian beliefs may have been influenced by outside agencies and have definately influenced outside agencies.
that's why freemasonry depicts the floor of solomons temple as black and white / light and dark / yin and yang in cosmic duality
So there are elements of sexual alchemy at play within these currents and working with different energies whether male or female, solar or lunar.
High profile freemasons in the UK such as Francis Dashwood set up clubs such as the notorious Hellfire Club (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellfire_club) which gathered in caves and carried out pagan ceremonies often of a sexual nature. He had caves beneath his estate extended for this specific purpose: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Wycombe_Caves
You can even visit them: http://www.hellfirecaves.co.uk/
One of the members of this Hellfire club and a visitor to Dashwoods home was Benjamin Franklin who was acting as Postmaster general at the time as was dashwood on the opposite side of the war!
These two fellow freemasons met over 3 summers at Dashwoods house and during the day they were writing an abridged Common Book of Prayer extolling christian values, whilst at night they were underground fucking whores by candle light!
Grapes and wheat are the produce of the suns essence and are fed symbolically to worshippers as bread and wine asa transmission of the suns rays or life essence. This is paralleled with human life essence: semen and some members of the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica even consume semen as part of their ritual.
So it could be said that when christians are fed the 'blood and flesh' of jesus christ they are consuming the life essence of the sun or to put it another way they are consuming the spunk of jesus
Here's a thought to bare in mind. washington the president laid the foundation to the washington monument obeslisk in a giant parade of freemasons lodges dressed in freemasonic regalia. Benjamin Franklin was a freemason invloved in the constitution. The US is a self proclaimed 'christian' country yet many of its founders were pagan worshippers. There was no clash with christianity because they held a different interpretation of it to what many christians have and it kept the population pliable and predictable.
Today, just as then, elites don't really give a damn what people believe as long as they remain pliable.
