Lupercalia: The Origins of Valentines Day

from Cryptid Cocktail Party

Welcome back to another episode of Cryptid Cocktail Party! This week I am joined by friend of the show Cryptid Clyde to talk about the blood-soaked, three-day, Roman sex party known as Lupercalia and how it may be the precursor to the romance riddle Hallmark holiday we celebrate now, Valentine's Day. Not a cryptid, alien, or ghoul, but still a wild story. Enjoy everyone!
