Lupercalia: The Ancient Celebration of Fertility and Passion
Lupercalia, celebrated annually on February 15, was one of ancient Rome’s oldest festivals, dedicated to fertility, purification, and protection. It honored Lupa, the she-wolf who nursed Romulus and Remus, Rome’s legendary founders, and the god Faunus (associated with the Greek Pan), a protector of shepherds and nature.
The Rituals of Lupercalia The festivities began in the Lupercal cave, where priests called Luperci sacrificed goats and a dog—symbols of purification and vitality. They then smeared the blood on their foreheads and wiped it clean with milk-soaked wool. In a symbolic act of fertility, the Luperci ran through the streets, gently striking onlookers (especially women) with goat-hide strips, which was believed to bestow fertility and ease childbirth.
Twin Flame Connections and Lupercalia’s Themes For those on a twin flame journey, Lupercalia resonates deeply with its themes of passion, union, and rebirth. Just as twin flames undergo cycles of separation and reunion, this ancient celebration acknowledged both the wild, primal nature of love and its transformative power. The striking of women with goat hides could be seen as symbolic of breaking down barriers and purifying past wounds to make space for new growth—parallels that reflect the twin flame experience.
Lupercalia and Valentine’s Day: A Pagan Legacy? Many believe Valentine’s Day has roots in Lupercalia due to their shared themes of love and fertility. By the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I abolished Lupercalia, transforming it into a Christian feast day honoring St. Valentine, a martyr associated with secret marriages. Over time, the celebration evolved into the romantic holiday we know today, blending pagan fertility customs with Christian ideals of love and devotion.
For twin flames, understanding the history of Lupercalia can offer profound insights into the dual nature of love: raw and untamed, yet deeply sacred and healing—a perfect reflection of the twin flame journey.
I convinced my partner to celebrate Lupercalia with me.
Since it’s an ancient Roman celebration, I’m going to celebrate with my goddess Venus as I’m certain she was a part of the celebration.
I’m going to wear red to symbolize the blood.
I’m going to write him a love note since I read it was done at Lupercalia.
While writing this, I got a genius idea. At Lupercalia, couples would unite for a year, while some of these couples would continue to be a couple, some would only last the year, and this included intimacy.
I’m going to make a one year promise to him. It’ll be hilarious 😂 I’m going to write this in my love note.
And I’m not sure I’ll tell you everything else I’m going to do because it’ll be between my lover, Scorpio, Venus, and I.

I have been studying how the Divine Masculine feels about the Divine Feminine ✨️ 😌 😍 because they might not be very vocal about their feelings, but Divine Feminine, the do have deep feelings, so my compromise is to tell you everything I learn.
I have the right vehicle to inform you of feelings and emotions: Poetry.
I have upped my game (regarding this blog) by entering a phase of research into the emotions and feelings of the elusive DM. Mine is elusive with his words. But no big deal, I learned telepathy! 😆 🤣 😂
I will continue with this blessed divine work.
I put this out there with the intention of it finding the people who need it. If you benefit from this content, let me know so I can create more like this.
Losing Previous Dreams
This might be why the DM might be confused. He had previous dreams and expectations, but the ambrosia of the DF changes the future for the DM.
Ambrosia, as the ancient food for the gods offers immortality, so this metaphor is powerful. Let it sit with you and see if something comes through that is useful, and if you have comments, please let me know.

I created this prayer a few months back and saved it for V day. If you like prayers, let me know.
Beloved,
There are energies in the world that are available to assist you in Love matters. These energies are always available, and no issue is too small.
I use the help of these energies in my own Love life. You might call the energies any name, God, source, spirit, Venus, Love, anything you believe in.
I do prefer the femininity of Venus – Aphrodite these days. She married my soul to Scorpio (my lover) in a very intense spirit way. She is available to those who are willing to engage with her.
I plan on celebrating Valentine’s with my goddess 😍 💕 💖 Venus – Aphrodite.
I have had all kinds of personal business to deal with. Thus, my Valentine’s content plan has been stunted, honestly. However, this will be my ongoing and future Valentine’s themes.
We’ve talked about the pagan Valentine’s (Lupercalia), and so I will be celebrating Valentine’s the Roman way, with Aphrodite!
I’d like to get another goddess of Love before then, but for now, I can talk about my goddess, the one I know.
Like this poem, days Month of Love, so on this blog, I’ll extend the celebration until end of month. Next month is my birthday, so romantic mermaid month, it’ll be great!
