Ah those Romans took any excuse to have a party. From the two infant founders of Rome suckled by a friendly she-wolf, to the chaste St. Valentine & his legacy chocolate factory, I love Dr Suzy’s descriptive tale of this ancient Lupercalian holiday. +Happy World Bonobo Day!

Dr. Suzy’s shows at her blog about Lupercalia look like a lot of fun with all those colorful cast members. I saw some familiar faces there. Awesome clips of the Lupercalian re-enactment of some fun filled events!

Thank you for being the voice that keeps me from losing faith that humankind will ever learn to be kind, compassionate, and loving. Valentine’s Day and Lupercalia history, Pan, World Bonobo Day, and Heart-Shaped Boo-tay, are all stories we need to hear and make for a wonderful show. This show is such an entertaining mix of comedy, sexuality, education, and serious discourse that I would not want to miss it.

Thank you for teaching us about the amazing history and mythology of Lupercalia and Valentine’s Day. I’ve been watching your videos, and each lesson is wilder than the last, but the message of Lupercalia is still clear to this day.
