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.
On this post, I will share all my personal magick, spellcasting tools.
I recently joined Woo Wednesday, an amazing X community to talk about where are the witches at? They meet once a month and it was such a healing and blessed space.
Our last Poetry lights meeting where amazing poetry is read. I read Interdimensional Travel” and my new “Poetry Lights” poem.
Talking to the host, Vennie, an amazing poetess witch, I told her about my new spellcasting journey, which is a new development, yet, was spirit led. Vennie decided to have spellcaating as the topic for the next Woo Wednesday and I am gathering all my spellcasting tools on this post so I can be prepared and read from here.

This Lillith poem was inspired by a podcast by the Middle Age Witch podcast, I linked it below.
I shared this beautiful poem on X, then added a secret third stanza for my lover who likes kinky poetry
This just happened, and thus, the third stanza doesn’t have rhyme or rhythm. This was not for the poetics. It’s for the meaning.
It’s the Lion’s Gate fault! I wish I could stop time. if it was the Lion’s Gate every day of the year, I’d always be this sassy.
I got so many divine messages for divine spirit work to complete (That is the upgrade this year, full on magic work with spirits, I am graduating into a witch lol), and I’ve been divinely guided into goddess work and, for some reason, shadow work leading to Lillith. It was Scorpio, my lover, who suggested that sex is a way to work the shadows, yes, Scorpio would say that. However, for me, miss Pisces, bound by church as a girl, sex play is a big shadow for me.
It could be that Lillith wants a poem; I will write some. The lady on the middle-aged witch podcast said that Lillith came to her when she was ready, that Lillith would only work with people who are ready to be unapologetically themselves, and I have in fact grown in this way. I don’t post this to X, actually, too many normal people, but I dip my toes. Maybe that is the sign, once I am more open on X (or Facebook, where my family is, I entered Pagan on my FB bio). Find me on FB as Eve Sanchez but I mostly post on Spanish.
I was listening on the Middle-Aged witch podcast (I love that podcast) that Lillith loves an orgasm as an offering, and I’m wondering if she would be willing to communicate with me for some poetry creations using some sex magic.
I work with Venus – Aphrodite
Venus is the Roman name for the Greek Aphrodite, and they are the same goddess. Below, I will share some of my poetry for her and one day I will tell you of my work with her. I have been working with her for months. Later, I will tell you how you can work with Aphrodite – Venus, too.
This poem talks of the cause of the Troyan war, when Aphrodite offered Paris the most beautiful woman in the world, the married queen Helen (long story).
I have actually communicated with Venus Aphrodite, and I loved our interactions. I have a plan to ask a thing from my friend Aphrodite, just need to find the right offering for her. The poem below is of a convo with Dite, she expressed that men can’t forget (in my word play) the orgasms they give their lady. This is a drug you’re providing for your man.
We wrote several poems together, Aphrodite – Venus and I. The below poem talks of a historical poem I read while studying Latin. This event was a yearly Venus festival. Tips for Venus work from her ancient festival: get nude, dancing barefoot, also beauty is an offering. Oh, and Bacchus (Dionysus in Greek pantheon) always leads to Aphrodite. This was the ancient way: parties and drinking (the ancients also put drugs in their drinks, though I am not telling you to do this) always lead to the Aphrodite work which is sex. They had sex cults; we have a cult of 2. ok I will have to tell you more.
I jokingly told my man I was going to sacrifice him to the goddess, put him on my Aphrodite altar. The sign in that is that the orgasm offering is well received by her. Oh, I certainly invoke her into our bedroom play. I am indeed ok with a spirit third party; I can share with the goddess.
This love spell was inspired by Roman Love magic, something I will continue to research and write about. The Romans didn’t believe in twin flames, but the Greeks did. But the romans were so afraid of Love magic that they made forms of it illegal.
Indeed, knot magic has always been used for love, sex, and fidelity magic (Read about knot magic on my blog and purchase my $1 ebook on Etsy to start practicing knot magick today) PS. I have used knot magic with Venus, for sex magic, twin flame magic with my Scorpio lover’s permission, for an offering to the fae, for personal empowerment, for sexual freedom…) Knot Magic Ebook linked below:
Ebook introducing knot magic with history, ideas, mantras, and more
I have to tell you, my sex life with my beloved Scorpio exploded after my communications with the goddess. Why? Because I became more open as I realized that sex magic attracts the sex goddess, and she loosened me up a bit.
This poem explains it best. I call the goddess into my space, I connect to Love, then he connects to me. This is sex magic and bringing a very sexy spirit into our bed for play. You wonder if Scorpio has an issue with this? lol Scorpio lives to connect to a mysterious feminine essence, he needs this, he is hooked. He has been looking for the goddess, he didn’t realize it like that, but he has been working with her, is what she said to me.
I guess my next magic ebook will be about sex magic, but sorry, I will not be selling it for $1! These are my secrets, and anyone interested will have to pay up! My mouth is starting to part to tell my secrets but they will not be widely available.
Why the threesome theme?
My darling Scorpio is a very hot guy, and he gets chased by women on top of the obvious, if one tastes him, can’t forget the guy, has to come back on her knees. He kind of hides from women in the way I hide from men, except that I believe he gets a kick out of it, he is not afraid of being held down by a woman…
Being a Scorpio, he wants a very, extremely loyal woman, and he gets hurt by lack of loyalty. Thus, his lineup of exes have in fact hurt him deeply.
I don’t have to tell you that he’s extremely sexual and great in bed. That’s obvious. His exes are constantly trying to connect to him in this way and I had to tell him to get those cords under control because they bother me, the feeler of everything. I have been cutting the chords to his pesky exes, energy vampires, who regret having lost him. They’re the third parties in our union, the ghosts of girlfriends’ past. His heartbreak over those bad girls has stopped our union growth.
He’s honest and open, so he tells me about the threesomes he declined 😆 🤣 😂
I was very young and sexually inexperienced when I met him, and I had never met a sincere man, so I freaked out wondering if that most gorgeous man would dare ask me to do something like that.
Upon my experience recognizing his soul as my boyfriend (I was 20), I decided I was going to be the woman to fulfill all his sexual needs (he manifested that, also), however, I was too shy to say anything. Once I heard the word threesome, I was shocked in disbelief and chose to not please his secret desires.
This happened in our usual misunderstanding type of way.
But how lucky am I that my man is so honest and straightforward? After years of holding back my sexual gratification, we talked about this and he has no intention of putting me in a difficult position and he is very grounded in his feeling for one partner. Yay
But how lucky if he had another me? Even three! Lol
The problem with threesomes is that they are cultural and a man who wasn’t pervy enough to lead women into those questionable encounters, can feel like they missed out. A good man like mine knows they didn’t miss on anything good. And a woman like me is unafraid to play tricks on my man’s mind. Lol
After Scorpio expressed that he wanted 2 mes, I needed years to integrate that. After a lot of self growth I told him one of my naughtiest best dreams ever, a dream in which I saw about 12 hims, one after another after another kept coming and I was simply amazed. Nothing sexual happened, I just basked in their energy but Scorpio got so excited and he expressed it would have been much different had he been the dreamer. And now I am telling you how I have finally injected a sense of fantasy into my sex life. He dreams about threesomes? Good, you can have two mes or you can have me and my goddess.

One day, I will email this beloved witch to tell her about my experiences with sex and love magic, my communication with Aphrodite, and the secret power of poetry.
I remember distinctly she said she doesn’t know the history of why poetry is used in spellcasting. She isn’t a poet. As a poet myself, I want to offer my insight about the secret power of poetry.
I’ve felt a heart orgasm by connecting my heart with my twin flame’s in an accepting, loving embrace, and it was better than sex! Let’s discuss.
Sex happening with the body can be limited, to get the best results, I’ve learned to engage my soul and energy body as well. This isn’t difficult, you set your intentions, open your heart, and invite your soul, say a mantra… (let your intuition guide you). Of course our souls will not engage with a sexual connection that is not a heart connection. This post is for twin flames after all but I believe you can do this with a soulmate or the most loving connection to varying degrees. I’m sure it’ll get better for me also!
Heart to heart 💗
The background: my flame was a hardened man who didn’t like to kiss or hug, he told me plenty! After years of manifesting hugs and kisses on my part, he let me know he loved both! What a happy year!
My flame is a tall guy and I’m a very short woman, so even after years of hugging and lovemaking, our hearts were not always physically aligned due to our height difference (and this is also a metaphor for what was happening energetically when our hearts were not aligned)
Heart Orgasm ❤️
Then it happened. We looked into each other’s eyes and then we embraced. Our hugs have been getting more powerful than I ever expected they could become. Then I felt a new dimension of embracing. I had an orgasm 😂 in my heart. This was unexplainable, so I tried to understand it 😂. When this happened, our hearts were directly aligned and the closest they can get to each other and we fully intended that hug, it was miraculous.
Set a powerful intention
Miracles do exist but we have to help too. So, I’ll tell you my secrets. First of all my intention for lovemaking and kissing or hugging is to give all of me and to receive all of him and total Union, now, as I read this I realize I need to extend this intention to communication too 🤯. I also ask the angels and our guides to Bless this union. And after that I stay in the moment, I’ve trained myself over the years to not think and if I have a busy mind and can’t stop thinking, then I use my awesome visualization skills from being an artist and visualize what’s going on or what I’m trying to manifest. Or, another trick I use is to think about our first date or something romantic or sweet. But clearly the best is no thought and being totally in the moment to receive their highest medicine.
Love and lovemaking heal. This is my biggest message. 💕
Continue sharing your Love please, your efforts do make a difference
