@David8pies Interesting , if I remember correctly devotion to Atargatis over lapped with the time of Christ. It was a very very weird cult .
Below is a link to an article by Rupert Willoughby tiled The Legend of Mélusine: How the tutelary fairy of the Lusignans came to reign over Starbucks
Perhaps this describes a later re-emergence of Ataragaris morphed into a different later culture.

Yes, who knows what the crux of it really is…Either way, I’ll not bend the knee or submit to the “Tranny Fish”…

the myth records that, having fallen into a lake, Atargatis was saved by the fish
Myths say may have been same person as Aphrodite
Haven’t heard about that cult before

Don’t know much about any of these myths myself either but read Atargatis was first mermaid myth, so if that’s true it isn’t particular to just Starbuck would be about all mermaids.
If the men were all castrated, these children they sacrifice must have been born of immaculate conception?
How’d you hear about this anyway?
Saw it on “Twatter”… and other places, as to it’s veracity…
All that, just for a cup of Coffee…Never understood the obsessive fetish for it…
Hear hear… enough is enough.
Whereas tea, on the other hand…
