thanks for Prof. Robert M. Price for recommending that film as demonstrative of gnostic Mithraism...
This appears to be a Gurdjieffian film in my view....but I guess it's more Cathar heresy... or Templar..
In the 1966 filmEye of the Devil, Bellenac (or Bellinach) is an ancient, isolated estate and vineyard located in rural France, specifically in the Bordeaux region
this rural estate to address the failing crops through what is revealed to be a sinister, blood-based ritual, which the locals believe is necessary to restore fertility to the land
So... the idea of Paul was that Gentiles needed Jesus to be sacrificed as atonement for lacking true faith of Yahweh... and the Jews did not need this...but that does not stop the idea of sacred sacrifice in general....
The secret of the 12 is the noncommutative Logos as the Small Universe yoga meditation - Daoist alchemy or Kriya yoga or Mithraism of Zoroastrianism.....
Eye of the Devil (1966) is perhaps one of the moodiest, atmospheric gems in the canon of the 1960s horror films – a haunting blend of occult, folk horror, and psychological thriller, steeped in Gothic ambience and existential dread. Its themes of rural paganism and sacrificial logic prefigure The Wicker Man (1973).
so the idea is that the 13th as Christ before Jesus Christ is hypnotized to willingly be sacrificed to maintain fertility of the Earth....
It's a pretty fascinating spin on religion a la The Golden Bough by James Frazer.... And is it true? Qigong master Jiang Feng keeled over while healing someone too fast. Certainly to be a spiritual master with miraculous powers requires great self-sacrifice.... and the qigong master I trained with said his heart stopped for two hours! He was walking around beyond death....
Donald Pleasence as a man of the cloth, Sharon Tate as a witchy woman who can turn toads into doves, and David Hemmings as a guy who loves to pierce those doves with his arrows and expert aim. Also, there’s a cult of black hooded robe-wearing folks on the premises with a thirst for sacrifice. Yep, Catherine’s a prisoner; don’t you wish you’d listened to your spouse, girl?
