Podcasts about Lupercalia

Mardi Gras is strongly associated with wild bacchanalia and debauchery, and many took this to heart, and beyond. Fat Tuesday, is a long-standing tradition of the Catholic Church and it marks the last day of before the start of Lent, a time of fasting and repentance. The celebration of Mardi Gras has its roots in the pagan Roman celebration of Lupercalia. This was a February holiday and it honored the Roman god of fertility. It involved feasting, drinking, and carnal behavior. Marlene and Hen [...]

Before Valentine's Day became a celebration of romance, and even before it was associated with a Roman Catholic saint, this was a time of celebration and feasting in Rome. From February 13th through the 21st, the Romans observed the overlapping festivals of Parentalia, Lupercalia, and Feralia to celebrate fertility, life, and honor the dead so their ghosts wouldn't haunt the living.Join me to compare the mythological and historical versions of St. Valentine and explore these Roman festivals of ancestor worship and their links to older Etruscan traditions.Transcripts For transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/12Links See photos related to episode topics on Instagram Loving the macabre lore?

The narrative surrounding Valentine's Day includes an appreciation for its origins and lesser-known traditions, such as Lupercalia, which was celebrated on February 15. Both events share common themes, particularly in their rituals and associations with fertility. Additionally, the legend of Romulus and Remus, who are credited as the founders of Rome, has been connected to Valentine's Day, though the precise nature of this relationship remains ambiguous.

Dive into the mysterious and passionate history of Lupercalia, the ancient Roman festival that shaped modern Valentine's Day but carried much darker, wilder origins. In this episode of Ghost Girl Diaries, we explore the pagan rituals of fertility, the connection between wolves and Rome's founding, and how these traditions evolved into today's romantic celebrations. Was Lupercalia a celebration of love, or something far more primal? Join us as we uncover the supernatural, historical, and mystical aspects of this ancient rite. Perfect for history lovers, dark romantics, and those drawn to the eerie origins of our most beloved traditions.

Happy Love Day, Relatives! While Valentine's Day may be wrapped in candy hearts and Hallmark sentiments, its origins are far from sweet. As NPR's Arnie Seipel reminds us, its history is "dark, bloody, and a bit muddled." In ancient Rome, Lupercalia—a violent fertility festival—was held from February 13th to 15th, perhaps explaining why red became the color of love.But today, we shift the focus away from romantic love and toward something deeper: self-love, communal love, and intergenerational healing.In this episode, we are joined by the incredible Vina Brown, the creative force behind Copper Canoe Woman. Vina, from the Heiltsuk and Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations, is not only an acclaimed jewelry artist but also a scholar, currently pursuing her PhD at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, where she studies Indigenous food sovereignty and wellness. She is also the co-founder of Rooted Resiliency, a nonprofit dedicated to reclaiming Indigenous wellness practices.Together, we dive into the messy, powerful, and transformative aspects of love. "Real love is messy," Vina reminds us. "It's not pretty, it's not perfect, but that's what makes it so beautiful." We explore self-care beyond consumerism, moving away from the capitalist version of “self-care”—think retail therapy and spa days—toward a decolonized perspective. Audre Lorde's words guide us: "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."Vina shares the story of her grandmother Elsie, a residential school survivor who embarked on her healing journey later in life, breaking generational cycles by learning to love openly. We discuss the power of community healing, the necessity of platonic love, and the strength in vulnerability. "We don't heal in silos," Vina says. "We heal in community."As part of this journey, we're also hosting Reclaiming Wellness, a community event featuring Indigenous women leaders focusing on movement, meditation, and reconnecting with ancestral knowledge.Join us as we recommit to self-love, embrace relationality over individualism, and recognize that healing is a lifelong journey. As Vina reminds us, "Our ancestors knew we were interconnected. The land, the wind, the water—they all hold us."Let's reclaim love—love for ourselves, our communities, and our lands.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (02/14/25), Hank discusses the origins of Valentine's Day, looking at the Orthodox Church's veneration of Saint Valentine, the Presbyter from Rome, for his martyrdom and as for all its saints, honors St. Valentine as a model of the life in Christ. According to The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, the traditional association of St. Valentine's Day with courtship is likely connected with certain customs of the pagan festival Lupercalia. If so, this would be another example of Christians usurping a pagan holiday and Christianizing it for the glory of Christ.Hank also answers the following questions:Can you comment on Reza Aslan's book, Zealot, and his claim that there was no census at the time of Jesus' birth?

A little history on the old V -Day! Valentine's Day has its origins in both ancient Roman and Christian traditions. The most widely accepted theory traces the holiday back to the Roman festival of Lupercalia, celebrated from February 13 to 15. This fertility festival honored Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, and included rituals meant to promote love and matchmaking. However, as Christianity spread, Lupercalia was deemed unchristian, and in the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I replaced it with St. Valentine's Day on February 14. The name "Valentine" is believed to honor one or more Christian martyrs named Valentine. One legend tells of a priest named Valentine who secretly married couples despite Emperor Claudius II banning marriage for young men. Another tale suggests Valentine was imprisoned for aiding persecuted Christians and sent a farewell note to a loved one signed, "From your Valentine," coining the now-famous phrase. By the Middle Ages, Valentine's Day became associated with romance, partly due to Geoffrey Chaucer's poetry linking it to courtly love. Over time, handwritten love notes evolved into the exchange of greeting cards, flowers, and gifts. Today, Valentine's Day is a global celebration of love, observed in various ways across different cultures.

Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting at 14:05 mark.Saint Valentine is the patron saint of love.  In the Roman Catholic church there are three saints with the name  Valentine.  All the three saints were stoned and beheaded for their Christian faith during the time of different Roman emperors.  St. Valentine, officially known as Saint Valentine of Rome, is a third-century Roman saint whose memory is celebrated on February 14.  Valentine day has its roots in paganism.  Lupercalia was a pagan fertility festival celebrated in February, and it had ties to a Roman god.  In an effort to clean up the pagan holiday,  in 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius designated February 14th as Valentine's official feast day.  The new holiday quickly spread to all countries that practiced Christianity. Historically it has commemorated romantic love, but recently it has been expanded to include all types of love.  During the time of Emperor Claudius II, marriage was prohibited for soldiers.  As a priest, Valentine conducted the marriages of couples who were in love. For this reason Valentine was sent to jail. Valentine used this time in jail to reach out to people with the love given by Jesus.  The jailer, Asterius, became friendly with Valentine.  He was impressed with Valentine's wisdom that he asked Valentine to help his daughter, Julia, with her lessons when she visited the jail.  Julia was blind, and the jailer tested his faith by asking him to restore her blind daughter's  eye sight.  Placing his hands onto her eyes, Valentine restored Julia's vision.  The jailer accepted Christianity along with 44 members of his family.  The now faithful jailer then freed all of his Christian inmates.  Emperor Claudius sentenced Valentine to death for not giving up his faith.  Before he was killed, Valentine wrote a last note to encourage Julia to stay close to Jesus and to thank her for being his friend.  He signed the note, “From your Valentine.”  Valentine was beaten, stoned and beheaded on February 14, 270.  St. Valentine sacrificed his life for his faith in Jesus, not for his love for us. There is someone who has done much more for each and every one of us than what St. Valentine did. That is Jesus Christ who is the Son of God.           My name... Cicilysunny@gmail.com

Is Valentine's Day worth the hype? This week, Matchmaker Maria is joined by dating coach and relationship expert Erika Ettin to dive into the origins and modern-day debates surrounding this love-it-or-leave-it holiday.

It’s that time of year…Valentine’s day, or if you prefer, the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, which as we all know was dedicated to werewolves and fucking. The selections this week have that in mind…and moreIf you can hold out, stick around to the end for a lusty surprise Only on Radio Free Satan!

This is the weekly columnValentine's Day cometh, time for expressing love and affection, although one can argue that should be on your to-do list every day.The celebration has roots as far back as ancient Rome. It was then called Lupercalia, a day dedicated to Lupercus, the god of shepherds, and aimed at promoting health and fertility. As do many celebrations, Lupercalia-Valentine's links to seasonal change. In the Northern Hemisphere, mid-February typically marks the end of the coldest nights of winter. Spring starts five weeks later.The pagan festival fell out of favor with the fall of Rome. In 494 CE, Pope Gelasius I officially banned the festival. Two years later, however, the same pope set things in motion for today's celebration when he recognized a Christian martyr, Valentine, as a saint. Executed around 270 CE, Valentine supposedly wrote an affectionate letter to his jailer's daughter and signed it “from your Valentine.”And then came the so-called “Dark Ages” and Lupercalia and St. Valentine were largely lost in the mists of memory. Until cometh Geoffrey Chaucer and his poem “The Parliament of Fowls” in the 1380s. Wrote the English poet: “For this was seynt Volantynys day, when euery byrd comyth there to chese his make.” His effort may have been an effort to celebrate the engagement of King Richard II of England to Anne of Bohemia.Chaucer's effort inspired others. By the 1400s, February 14th, the day in 496, when Gelasius canonized Valentine, the day became roughly the Valentine's Day we know today. The story is somewhat muddier, of course. There are three saints named Valentine and the Catholic Church removed St. Valentine's Day from its official calendar of feast days in 1969 due to lack of reliable information about the saint. That should not stop you from celebrating love and affection on February 14.Wine, of course, can be part of your celebration. Classic pairings:• Sparkling rosé. Can be expensive Champagne or the many alternatives. Clever folks will pair the rosé with a dozen roses and note their love always sparkles.• Rosé in general. Non-sparkling, “still wines,” can still indicate you are still the love of my life.• Ruby or tawny port paired with dark chocolate is classic.Tasting notes• Avaline Rosé, Vin de France: Light crowd pleaser made with cavalcade of classic rosé grapes, led by grenache. $16-20 Link to my review• Kopke 20 Years Old Tawny Porto: Archetypal tawny made by the oldest Port house in the world (1638 founding). $70-80 Link to my reviewLast roundWhat did the light bulb say to the switch on Valentine's Day?

Warum ich tue, was ich tue – Meine Vision & mein WARUM

Beneath the saccharine promises of eternal love and heart-shaped confections, Valentine's Day is saturated with the echoes of ancient Lupercalia, where Roman priests would flay sacrificial beasts and run through torch-lit streets with bloody thongs, their ritual violence ensuring fertility through pain—a savage truth that still pulses beneath every crimson card and candy heart we exchange. It will rip your heart out – literally.

BEST OF: Seven bowls of God's wrath are poured out in the Bible by divine spirits - angels or demons. These plagues include sores, frogs, and hailstones, which can be attributed to demons like Lucifer, Bufonite, and Belial. The biggest bowl, Super Bowl 56, takes place on the eve of Valentine's Day or Lupercalia, a Roman festival of cleansing and fertility heavily focused on the goat, dog, and wolf. These creatures also act as guides in the Underworld throughout various mythologies that involve the soul/spirit of the butterfly and the shadow-self. The Big Game kicks off with the horned beasts, the Rams, against the Bengal Tigers. The 56th Halftime performers include Dr Dre, the GOAT, and Snoop Dogg, the dog or Lion, as his other name suggests. The Lion/Tiger and Goat also appear in images of Bauer and Azazel. The dog can be found in Cerberus. The other performers are Mary J. Blige, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar, all three aligned with the High Priestess, the shadow self, and the butterfly of the soul. Lupercalia also initiates the new year, and in 2022 it is that of the Tiger. The Chinese called Sagittarius the tiger, otherwise known as the archer linked to Jupiter, Ammon, Orion, Osiris the Hunter, Cupid, and Otherworldy guides like Anubis, the jackal. Combing these symbols at Halftime, coupled with the teams playing in the game, there is certainly enough to pick through for meanings that are both present and non-existent, including commercials depicting Zeus/Jupiter. These archetypes and themes can be used to summon the most Divine or the most Infernal. When Eminem says "it must be the ganga", implying marijuana, there is the possibility that the rap community is referring to Ganga-Gramma, the demon who pours out bowls with a pitchfork. At the very least, the event initiates the new year with a mass of energy, and those clever enough to see and understand its symbols may find divination for the future, and a marker for our current state of affairs.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

"The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities."  – Sophocles, Oedipus Rex   Change of format! This week, host Cyrus Palizban invites a single guest, Nico Sarian, to dive into the quote of the week and meander from there! Starting with the quote from Sophocles' “Oedipus Rex”, we take a deep dive into the nature of Greek tragedy, the significance of individual actions and fate, and the impact of historical and cultural context on literary interpretation. The discussion ranges from the origins of the dithyramb of the ancient cult of Dionysus to the many names of Apollo in the further-flung Hellenic reaches to the intricate subtexts of theology, the creative reconstruction of historical narratives, and the philosophical underpinning of tragedy as a genre. Additionally, Nico shares some of his personal theses on the nature of good and evil, and how their distinction is often hidden from us. Can we really be responsible for that which we cannot know?   00:00 Welcome to the Lightning Podcast: A Unique Exploration 00:47 Diving Deep into Greek Tragedy with Nico Sarian 02:30 The Lost Art of Tragedy and the Mystery of Missing Plays 03:54 Reimagining Ancient Greece: Color, Art, and History Misconceptions 24:10 Exploring the Depths of Apollo's Cults and Nietzsche's Critique 31:36 The Modern Predicament: Religion, Philosophy, and Individual Responsibility 35:45 Exploring Self-Improvement and Reality 25:08 The Journey Through Nigredo and Personal Reflections 38:30 Delving into the Essence of Evil and Darkness 39:32 The Philosophical Debate on Good, Evil, and Accountability 46:28 A Deep Dive into Darkness, Perception, and Moral Realizations 52:01 Connecting Martial Arts, Legal Philosophy, and Fate 01:02:42 Wrapping Up: From Apollo to Lupercalia and Beyond   Want to continue the discussion?

Many people believe the modern holiday of Valentine's Day originated in the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia. That may or may not be true, but as religion, governments, and other power systems evolved across Europe and the Middle East, we also saw the roots of a few other modern phenomena emerge.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (02/14/24), Hank discusses the origins of Valentine's Day, looking at the Orthodox Church's veneration of Saint Valentine, the Presbyter from Rome, for his martyrdom and as for all its saints, honors St. Valentine as a model of the life in Christ. According to The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, the traditional association of St. Valentine's Day with courtship is likely connected with certain customs of the pagan festival Lupercalia. If so, this would be another example of Christians usurping a pagan holiday and Christianizing it for the glory of Christ.Hank also answers the following questions:What are your thoughts on street preachers who publicly denounce people? How should I handle a situation where I have a friend doing this? Josh - Everett, WA (15:11)Can you clarify the Bible's use of the words, “put away” and “divorce”? My wife divorced me. Can I get remarried? Derek - Fayetteville, NC (21:11)What are your thoughts on the documentary hypothesis for the Pentateuch? Do you think there could have been two different sources for this? Tom - NY (24:07)

The old Lupercalia festival in Rome involved sacrificing a goat, a symbol of fertility, and through its hide and blood, transferring its life-essence and qualities to women, the land, and animals. A similar form of magic is now performed at places like the San Antonio Zoo, where for a few dollars one can name a rodent or roach after an ex and feed it to an animal. These are magical rituals. Even artificial insemination is a modern version of ancient sympathetic magical practices. What is most interesting about this whole thing is that whereas fertility and animal sacrifice use to dominate the holy day, now abortion and child sacrifice mark the same in our culture. Either way, from its various convoluted inceptions, which coalesced over time, Valentine's Day has always been strongly rooted in one thing: fertility - a person's ability to conceive a child. Such focus applied to adult men and women, fields and crops, and animals. Despite natural adjustments over time, which are to be expected, and despite our proclivity to create new traditions intentionally or otherwise, this day of fertility has absolutely nothing to do with so-called alternate lifestyles. Homosexuals could, by some arbitrary measure, love each other as much or more than heterosexuals, but Valentine's Day is still not for them outside the commercialized products that appeal to emotions rather than biology - this year the National Retail Federation estimates the projected total of expenditure to reach $25.8-billion, slightly down from 2023. There is nothing necessarily wrong with the former, though Valentine's gifts for animals are literally more traditional than the same for gay couples. It's the opening of the market not just to other non-fertility forms of ‘love', but of buying items for friends and family members too. We shouldn't confuse the desire for profit, which also isn't necessarily bad, with the open loving arms of so-called acceptance. As for heterosexuals, since fertility is the origin of Valentine's Day, anything preventing procreation, including birth control, condoms, plan B, etc., are really antithesis to the original celebration. -FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioWEBSITE, BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE YEARLY: http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

BEST OF: Seven bowls of God's wrath are poured out in the Bible by divine spirits - angels or demons. These plagues include sores, frogs, and hailstones, which can be attributed to demons like Lucifer, Bufonite, and Belial. The biggest bowl, Super Bowl 56, takes place on the eve of Valentine's Day or Lupercalia, a Roman festival of cleansing and fertility heavily focused on the goat, dog, and wolf. These creatures also act as guides in the Underworld throughout various mythologies that involve the soul/spirit of the butterfly and the shadow-self. The Big Game kicks off with the horned beasts, the Rams, against the Bengal Tigers. The 56th Halftime performers include Dr Dre, the GOAT, and Snoop Dogg, the dog or Lion, as his other name suggests. The Lion/Tiger and Goat also appear in images of Bauer and Azazel. The dog can be found in Cerberus. The other performers are Mary J. Blige, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar, all three aligned with the High Priestess, the shadow self, and the butterfly of the soul. Lupercalia also initiates the new year, and in 2022 it is that of the Tiger. The Chinese called Sagittarius the tiger, otherwise known as the archer linked to Jupiter, Ammon, Orion, Osiris the Hunter, Cupid, and Otherworldy guides like Anubis, the jackal. Combing these symbols at Halftime, coupled with the teams playing in the game, there is certainly enough to pick through for meanings that are both present and non-existent, including commercials depicting Zeus/Jupiter. These archetypes and themes can be used to summon the most Divine or the most Infernal. When Eminem says "it must be the ganga", implying marijuana, there is the possibility that the rap community is referring to Ganga-Gramma, the demon who pours out bowls with a pitchfork. At the very least, the event initiates the new year with a mass of energy, and those clever enough to see and understand its symbols may find divination for the future, and a marker for our current state of affairs.

Roots of Valentine's Day, Lupercalia and demon sex! Love is the strongest human emotion. The most important, powerful and energetically driven. It controls intent, it gives you purpose. It's incorruptible yet it's drives you blind. It's there, it's invisible, it's inside you and it never was. But unfortunately I must apologize for being the bearer of bad news but this is a day that sits on all our hearts. Repackaged and reintroduced to us as a holy day of celebration and love and roses. The roots of St. Valentine's Day are all but missed or forgotten. Every fucking year countless and unworthy souls spend and lie their asses off to get into your pants. Some of us manage to find love, some of us only find the empty and emotionless feeling of an orgasm. But that's not all; you dive head first into pagan, Grimm and sexaholic worship and laudation with zero knowledge that the very act you're engaging in is endorsing mephistophelian powers over you and your fellow paramour. Specially this of the same sex. Welcome VALENTINO 2! // FOLLOW @Los_cunados_Bulliez And VISIT US ON PARANOIRADIO.COM ☂️☂️☂️
