Instead of Valentine’s Day this year, I’m going to celebrate Lupercalia since that’s where the holiday’s roots are rumored to be based. Anyone else interested in attending a festival dedicated to the Roman god of agriculture where one slices goat hide into strips, dips them in sacrificial blood, and smacks women with them because it is said to induce fertility should contact me ASAP. I need to know how many goats to slaughter.
