Current Talk '03 I / Love your werewolf Day!
« on: February 12, 2003, 01:39:25 AM »
Greetings, although I erroneously believed it to fall in January, a calendar that has come to my attention states that this February 15 is Lupercalia, the official Roman holiday for werewolves everywhere!
The werewolf priests of Lupercus (a tutelary god of Rome) used to rush through the streets howling, slavering, cracking whips and making mayhem. Women who were having difficulty conceiving, and men in search of a kinky good time, would offer their backsides to the lash of the sacred whip for fertility and/or fun.
I now think of a certain holiday celebrated by a chocoholic feeding frenzy on Feb. 14 as Lupercalia Eve. Ah, I hear the wolves howling amorously in the distance...
Wolvishly,
Steve
