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: [email protected]: KRYSTALLEANDRA.me www.krystalleandra.comSupport the showhttps://www.krystalleandra.com
