Read David Livingstone's Ordo ab Chao, page 46-7. He explains how worshippers of Cybele, Ishtar, Rhea, Astarte, Venus, Magna Mater, Queen of Heaven (and her many other thousand various names) was worshiped by Attis (standing watch in New York City's harbor as "Larry Liberty" currently) and his followers with ritualistic floggings, castrating themselves, and the like. "The cult of the Magna Mater also involved a ritual called the taurobolium, where a bull was sacrificed above a pit into which a devotee descended, and was drenched in its blood, as a form of baptism." This is also the ancient roots of the modern form (just reappropriated and altered like "Jewish" sacrifices/pagan sacrifices) of Christianity's "water" baptism/consecration to the goddess/god.
