A lot of that Catholicism stuff is just Christianity with local gods and figures retconed in using saints expansions.

And that whole Christian thing is just a Mediterraneanised/Latinized Zoroastrianism.

... And Zoroastrianism is just hyped up druidism. The Persians were part of that Indo-European world.

I don't know what drugs the Persians were into, but now I'm imagining a priestess ripping a massing bong and saying

"Okay, what if instead of alllll the trees, it's just about one tree?... And the tree is a dude"
