Episode Synopsis:
Is Valentine’s Day an innocent holiday of cards, candies and flowers for twitterpated lovers, or is it an ancient pagan celebration with ties to blood, human sacrifice, and even…werewolves?
We talk about this and much more, including:
- If Valentine’s Day is a sex holiday, why do we begin celebrating it as children?
- Why is the figure head of this holy day an erotic pagan god, portrayed as a naked baby?
- Is the sex-crazed Olympic village the result of a spiritual carry over from ancient Greece?
- Does St. Valentine hold the true reason for celebrating this day, or is he just the Christian redressing of a more evil celebration?
- What does Lupercal and the founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus have to do with Valentine’s Day?
- Who was King Lycaon, and was he the first werewolf?
- Is the root of Valentine’s Day tied to a werewolf holy day of cannibalism that resembles rituals to Baal?
