Happy February everyone! A couple of my absolute favorites events are about to open. We <3 Role-play will be opening in just a few hours and the The Secret Affair will be here shortly after that on Tuesday, Feb. 5, and the theme is "Lupercalia Festival". So what is the Lupercalia Festival?
"Lupercalia was an ancient pagan festival held each year in Rome on
February 15. Although Valentine’s Day shares its name with a martyred
Christian saint, some historians believe the holiday is actually an
offshoot of Lupercalia. Unlike Valentine’s Day, however, Lupercalia was a
bloody, violent and sexually-charged celebration awash with animal
sacrifice, random matchmaking and coupling in the hopes of warding off
evil spirits and infertility.
No one knows the exact origin of Lupercalia, but it has been traced back as far as the 6th century B.C.
According
to Roman legend, the ancient King Amulius ordered Romulus and Remus—his
twin nephews and founders of Rome—to be thrown into the Tiber River to
drown in retribution for their mother’s broken vow of celibacy.
A
servant took pity on them, however, and placed them inside a basket on
the river instead. The river-god carried the basket and the brothers
downriver to a wild fig tree where it became caught in the branches. The
brothers were then rescued and cared for by a she-wolf in a den at the
base of Palatine Hill where Rome was founded.
The
twins were later adopted by a shepherd and his wife and learned their
father’s trade. After killing the uncle who’d ordered their death, they
found the cave den of the she-wolf who’d nurtured them and named it
Lupercal.
It’s thought Lupercalia took place to honor the she-wolf and please the Roman fertility god Lupercus."
