thirteenth path

Ah, Valentine's Day. There were quite a few Saint Valentines, you realize, all with stories that are rather entertaining - though of course they all met rather unpleasant ends. Martyrdom tends to work that way. However, none of them have much to do with love

...Well if you want to be all dreary about it.

What's so dreary about it? I think it's terribly interesting.

Sacrifices and whippings aren't exactly romantic, it has to be said. Unless you're into that...pervy sort of stuff.

It was more about fertility, I believe. Not that those things could never be romantic... I suppose it would depend on what was getting sacrificed and who was doing the whipping.

[nunganunga_k_o]

Well we wouldn't want to encourage fertility, would we? That's what the tons of condoms are meant to prevent.

Hmm, good point. I suppose my hopes for a revival of Lupercalia have been crushed.
