Lupercalia: A Look at Valentine’s Day

Two matching red Valentine's Day cards flanked by a vase of 12 red roses

The feast of St. Valentine became intertwined with Lupercalia, another Roman festival, to become what we know as Valentine’s Day.

We do celebrate it here. We have hectic lives, children with ex-partners and each of us does a lot for the other due to big challenges that we each face, so we don’t mind the reminder to stop and check in and take some time to appreciate each other.

We had to laugh this morning when we swapped cards. Of all the cards we could have bought, from all the places in town, we managed to buy the same card, just with either “husband” or “wife” written on it.

To make things a little weirder, we used the words “inspire” or “inspiration.” It has been quite a magickal week with a lot of synchronicities, and it seems our luck is changing for the better.
