Podcasts about Lupercalia

Valentine's Day wasn't always roses and overpriced chocolate.Before heart-shaped candy boxes and awkward dinner reservations, there were martyrs, secret marriages, pagan festivals, and stories that feel more like horror folklore than romance.In this episode of Late Night Legends, Ashley dives into the dark, chaotic origins of Valentine's Day — from Saint Valentine's mysterious executions to ancient Roman rituals like Lupercalia, and how a bloody past turned into a billion-dollar celebration of love.K, Tim, and Maria join the discussion as the Legends break down the myths, historical facts, and strange traditions that shaped modern Valentine's Day — and debate how they actually feel about it today.Is it romantic? Commercialized? Pagan? Misunderstood?Or is love just another beautifully repackaged relic of something darker?Tell us where you stand in the comments.

It's the official day of romance (at least according to Hallmark Cards). Valentine's Day bring up feelings of love and adoration, moments of affection, gifts to show one's heartfelt emotions for another. But February 14th doesn't always bring the warm and fuzzies. Sometimes the day brings tragedy, heartbreak, or just something of the bizarre and strange.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:10.731 = A Freak Love Story00:11:12.851 = Ghost Love Stories ***00:27:41.588 = Bloody Story Behind Valentine's Day ***00:32:00.771 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakHELPFUL LINKS & RESOURCES…https://WeirdDarkness.com/STORE = Tees, Mugs, Socks, Hoodies, Totes, Hats, Kidswear & Morehttps://WeirdDarkness.com/HOPE = Hope For Depression or Thoughts of Self-Harmhttps://WeirdDarkness.com/NEWSLETTER = In-Depth Articles, Memes, Weird DarkNEWS, Videos & Morehttps://WeirdDarkness.com/AUDIOBOOKS = FREE Audiobooks Narrated By Darren Marlar SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“A Freak Love Story” by Rachel Souerbry for Ranker.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4kr4ep45“Ghost Love Stories” posted at NotebookOfGhosts.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/345vwf54, and BurroughsOfTheDead.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4hcjbps8“The Bloody Story Behind Valentine's Day” by Avani Raj for ED Times: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/c759fnnyWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Before Cupid, there was Lupercalia.In this Ghosts & Glam episode, we uncover the pagan Roman festival that inspired modern Valentine's Day. From wolf priests and fertility rites to the Christian rebranding of Saint Valentine, this episode explores the darker, wilder origins of love itself — all while I create a gothic glam look inspired by ancient ritual energy.Business Inquiries: manger@krystalleandra.comMore: KRYSTALLEANDRA.me www.krystalleandra.comSupport the showhttps://www.krystalleandra.com

The Roman festival of Lupercalia, comprised of sacrificed animals and bloody strips of fertility-imparting sympathetic magic, is often painted as Satanic by contemporary society. But satanic forces are opposed to the natural order and the entire point of Lupercalia was to ensure the natural order of childbirth and bountiful harvests continued. Lupercalia was also not merely one of many Roman cleansing and fertility festivals, but one of many global celebrations of the same sort. Purification of the home, community and body laid the foundation for a fresh start, success and family. Fertility symbols like the goat were used to explicitly impart their qualities to men, women, fields, and business.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (02/13/26), 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 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:Why didn't God actualize the angels in righteousness before they fell? Crystal - Kansas City, KS (15:39)Since Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:10 says there should not be divisions amongst believers, what does this say about all the different denominations within the body of Christ today? Jessie - IA (17:09)Could you explain the story of the fish with a coin in its mouth in Matthew 17:24-27? Gus - Oklahoma City, OK (20:06)Would the command to obey the government in Romans chapter 13 apply to Sharia law? Cameron - OK (21:51)

What is that in the air? Could it be… love? HA! Bet you thought we'd say death! Today we recognize Valentine's Day by looking at the origins of Valentine's Day, including the grizzly execution of its namesake Saint Valentine. Sorry, we can't help ourselves, but we do what we love! We also take a look at the lost (and frankly much cooler sounding) Pagan version of the holiday known as Lupercalia with its ample displays of debauchery. Plus we take a gander at Valentine's Day mascot Cupid, that lovable cherub scamp that spreads love by shooting people with arrows; the epic poem that tied the concept of love with the death of a martyred saint; and how St. Valentine (amongst others) is the Patron Saint of Epilepsy.

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.

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!

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.

I wish she was around for many reasons, especially so she could have met her great granddaughter. This woman lived up to her name, and was the most caring a person could be. I was truly fortunate to have had her as a grandmother.Having done so much study, I was constantly encountered with information that showed despicable acts or origins of so many time-honored traditions and figures. I wondered where all the good, noble, and just people were, and why we were venerating unscrupulous scoundrels instead. The Tanakh is littered with unsavory characters whose criminal deeds and lack of character left me asking, "Is this the best we can do? Especially for this religion that is not even from my culture? Why are we only championing terribly flawed and ruthless men?Undeterred, and unaccepting of the notion of "the human condition," I never lost my own personal faith in mankind. There had to be a noble, family oriented, just, and fair people somewhere. I got tipped off by another reader of history, and I was determined to find out if untainted roots of man were to be found in this group of people. What I found revitalized me. My quest had led to the Goths, and their history, our history, our heritage, has been deliberately stolen, co-opted, inverted, slandered, and often completely erased from the record. What I didn't find in those dark grimoires they pass off as religion I found in the histories of the Men from the North, the bringers of culture, civilization, and innovation. These were the creators of a Noble culture. And they battled many of the dark forces that have since regained a stranglehold over Man through their tactics of moral erosion, artificial social constructs, and cunning treachery. These are the culture destroyers. They were a despicable death cult then, and they're a despicable death cult now.LOAD UP for Christmas:https://SemperFryLLC.com to get Priestcraft: Beyond Babylon, AWESOME Hot Sauce and Creatine-HCL.

Today we unearth the dark origins of Valentine's Day, an ancient tale of beheadings, forbidden romances, and the eerie echoes of the Roman festival of Lupercalia. Witness the haunting transformation from ancient rituals to the worldwide commercial embrace of modern Valentine's Day. Also, we will tell you about the infamous Valentine's Day Massacre, and the menacing legacy of Al "Snorky" Capone. Brace yourself for a journey through love's twisted corridors, where passion and peril intersect in this sinister exploration of Valentine's Day's hidden past.

Prepare to be whisked away on an enchanting journey through the annals of history as we unravel the hidden tales and origins of Valentine's Day. It's Rhonda here, your guide on Life Points, and I promise you'll emerge with a newfound understanding and appreciation for this day of love. We'll commence our exploration with the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, filled with its peculiar rituals that surprisingly set the stage for our February festivities. As I weave the threads from the past to the present, we'll see how the legendary poet Geoffrey Chaucer and the tradition of courtly love have sculpted the symbols and gestures that color our current celebrations of affection.As our historical adventure unfolds, the legend of Saint Valentine comes to life, his secret marriages casting a shadow long enough to influence a holiday celebrated by millions. Without skipping a beat, we'll soar through time to discover how Pope Gelasius' declaration intertwined with Chaucer's romantic prose to transform Valentine's Day into the epitome of romantic celebration. Yet, amidst the tales of amorous love, we pause to honor the less sung yet equally important expressions of love—self, platonic, and familial. Embark with me on this podcast episode, and let's celebrate the manifold aspects of love that Valentine's Day embraces, reveling in the stories that bind us through the ages.Support the showhttps://chat.openai.com/g/g-8E47AuJfB-life-points-assistanthttps://FaceBook.com/Lifepointswithronda1https://youtube.com/@lifepointswithronda2968https://TikTok.com/@lifepointswithrondahttps://Instagram.com/@lifepointswithrondahttps://Patreon.com/@lifepointswithrondahttps://Lifepointswithronda.com
