Who was St Valentine and why do we celebrate with hearts, roses, and a fat baby with a bow and arrow? It isn’t what you think. Did you know that the ancient origins of Cupid and the heart symbol are in a supreme being who was worshipped by Demons as the Lord of the Demons?

Corporations

As with all contemporary seasonal celebrations, it is an opportunity for corporations to extract more money and energy from the masses. Flowers, jewellery, engagement rings, and weddings separate the masses from their hard-earned money. Restaurants rack up the tables and offer a limited menu to make more money, which reduces customer enjoyment. But people still go because they don’t realise that they are being energy harvested.

Because society is built on competition and lack, people are happy to be pulled into the illusion of love. But for our tribal ancestors, every day was a day of love that is shown in stolen kisses, the flutter of a beating heart, showing care for others and spending time with loved ones.

This fabricated ‘day of love’ was developed during the Industrial Revolution when factories opened to mass produce cards. In 1913, Hallmark Cards was created to mass-produce Valentine’s Day cards, milking $18.6 billion a year out of this blood sacrifice festival.

Christianity

The seasonal festivals of the contemporary calendar each have a Christian basis, and we have already said that Christianity was a construct created by the Romans to separate us from our tribal heritage and culture and enslave us as tax slaves, which is still working very well.

The history of Valentine’s Day goes back to the Roman festival of Luprocalia, to honour the hunter god Lupercus, or Pan the God of Light who protected the flocks from wolves. The Christians repackaged it in the fifth century to relate to the work of Pope Glasius, a defiant Roman priest from the third century who continued marrying Roman soldiers after it was banned by Emperor Claudius II. He banned marriage to stop his soldiers from being unhappy about leaving their families so that they could be better fighters.

All of the Christian festivals have been appropriated from Roman and Greek mythology, which in turn have their origins in the Babylonian myths. There is nothing new under the sun; they are all repackaged ancient rituals brought into the Christian calendar to gain control of the ‘pagan’ masses.

Roman

Valentine’s Day has its sinister origins in ancient Babylon with the emergence of Cupid. The meaning of the name Cupid is derived from the Latin verb, Cupio, which means to desire.

“Cupio, cupere, cupivi, cupitum” – “To strongly desire, to crave”

Cupid was the son of Venus, the Roman goddess of love, beauty, and desire. The Romans celebrated Lupercalia (Feb 13-15), as a fertility festival linked to love and matchmaking. A feature of this festival was animal sacrifice followed by slapping women with the skin and blood of the animal to bring fertility.

These strange practices were borne from fear and the perceived need to appease the Goddess in case she withheld her blessing and refused to bring rain for the crops. This was not a festival based on Goddess worship or gratitude for the abundance she had the power to bring. It was based on the ego of fear, and as such, the festival developed into an extravagant orgie of both mourning and joy where humans were sacrificed.

Greek

The Greek writer Pausanias, who is known to be the best source of information on Greek mythology and cultural heritage, said that the men who ate the entrails of the sacrificed human became a werewolf.

According to Pausanias, Lycaon, the King of Arcadia, sacrificed a human infant on the altar of Zeus Lycaeus (Zeus of the Wolves). As punishment, he was transformed into a wolf. Pausanias notes that since Lycaon’s time, during the sacrifices to Zeus Lycaeus, a man would be transformed into a wolf. If, while in wolf form, he abstained from consuming human flesh for nine years, he would revert to human form; otherwise, he would remain a wolf permanently.

Pausanias also mentions the story of Damarchus, an Arcadian boxer who was said to have transformed into a wolf during a sacrifice to Zeus Lycaeus and returned to human form after ten years.

In Greek mythology, Venus is represented by Aphrodite and Cupid by Eros. Cupid/Eros is often depicted as a mischievous winged boy with a bow and arrows that could make people fall in love.

Mesopotamia

Cupid and Eros in turn have their origins in Mesopotamia with Babylonian and Sumerian mythology depicting Tammuz/Dumuzi as a shepherd god associated with fertility, vegetation, and the seasonal cycle of life and death. Ishtar/Inanna is the goddess of love, fertility, war, and the planet Venus which is linked to both creation and destruction.

Tammuz is described as having both a cruel and happy personality. He used two types of arrows to strike men and women. The gold-tipped arrow was used to cause them to fall in love with a crazy intense passion that wasn’t for their benefit. It was used to bring them into a miserable long-term relationship because it wasn’t based on magnetism. The blue arrow was used to break up relationships that were happy to cause grief.

Tammuz fired a gold-tipped arrow at his own mother, causing her to fall madly in love with him, marry him and bear his child. She was the Earth Goddess and at that time the imperial power went through the female line, so to maintain power a son married his mother or sister. This is a subversion of the feminine power. This theme also runs in the story of Isis and Osiris.

The myth of Tammuz and Ishtar is one of the earliest love stories, a divine romance where love, death, and renewal are symbolic of the changing seasons. Tammuz’s death each year represents the dying of vegetation in summer, and his return marks the renewal and fertility at the start of Spring as the new shoots begin to appear. As such, Tammuz and Ishtar were associated with renewal and therefore fertility rites, celebrating love and the making of babies.

Serpent Symbolism

In his 1914 book, “Tammuz and Ishtar: A Monograph upon Babylonian Religion and Theology,” S Langdon explained that Tammuz and Ishtar were connected to serpent worship, with Tammuz being the ‘great serpent dragon’. Langdon explores the symbolism of serpents within Mesopotamian mythology which were linked to the underworld and fertility. In the myth of Tammuz and Ishtar, the serpent symbolizes aspects of death, rebirth, and the cyclical nature of life.

Tammuz also relates to Nimrod The Mighty Hunter, and King associated with early Mesopotamian civilisation and mentioned in the Bible (Genesis 10:8-12, 1 Chronicles 1:10, and Micah 5:6). He is portrayed as being arrogant and is associated with the Tower of Babel and the rebellion against God. He used his bow on his mother, Semiramis, so that she became his wife. Nimrod is the King of the demons who enjoyed sexual deviancy being the creator of the phrase ‘love is blind’.  Creating the notion that we can excuse deviancy because it is based on ‘love’.

The term “great serpent dragon” is associated with the deity Tammuz (Sumerian: Dumuzi). Langdon discusses a title, “ama-usumgal-anna,” which he interprets as “Mother-great serpent-heavenly,” referring to Tammuz as the “serpent mother of the first male principle.” This title underscores the serpent symbolism linked to Tammuz in Mesopotamian mythology.

Additionally, Langdon explores the serpent associations of other deities, such as Ningishzida, who is often depicted with serpents and linked to the underworld and fertility. Serpent-dragon symbolism is often depicted with two entwined serpents or as a serpent-dragon (similar to the later Caduceus symbol).

Demons

Tamuz is the Lord of the little demons and the great demons, as quoted by Langdon:

“Demon unto demon looked steadfastly. The little demons and the great demons cried aloud.
Demons and their companions cried aloud.
“Our heroic lord, he who was seized away, forsake us not(??). Tammuz our lord, who was seized away, forsake us not(??) In the desolate land we would appease thee.”

Ba’al was a title meaning Lord and Master, which in the Chaldean language means ‘heart’. He is referred to in the Old Testament as being a false god worshipped by the Canaanites, who are the Satanic killers of our present-day world. Thus Ba’al really means Satan, the rival deity to Yahweh in the Bible who is known as Bel.

Bel was used as a title for Marduk, the chief of Babylon who has been associated with Enlil, the brother of Enki. Enki genetically engineered humanity from Neanderthal and Anunnaki genetics to create a sub-species of slaves. Enlil despised the humans and was always trying to kill them.

The term “Bel” in Chaldean can mean “the heart” or “the confounder”, and is associated with the Babylonian god. He is the Lord of the Demons.

Revelation

Tammuz was associated with the ‘great serpent dragon’ which was the great serpent of heaven. This notion is expressed in Revelation 12.

12:03 “And another sign was seen in the sky, and there was a terrible fiery-red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. And its tail dragged the third of the stars of the sky, and it flung them onto the Earth. And the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, so that when she gives birth he might devour her child.”

And there you have child eating as a pastime, which is now associated with Satanic leftist politicians. But you also have an explanation of the fallen agents, the giants, the Agigi who came to earth with the Anunnaki and who now control the world with paedophilia and satanic ritual abuse.

Revelation 12:09 goes on to say: “And the terrible dragon was brought down, the ancient serpent called the false accuser and the enemy, the one deceiving the whole inhabited world. He was hurled down to the Earth, and his messengers were brought down with him.”

Divine Feminine

The false accuser and the enemy of Yahweh is the Devil or Satan. Satan is a dragon, a reptilian who holds the patriarchal energy that despises the feminine energy of creation and love of children. The Satanists rape and pilate our Mother Earth, the Goddess of Abundance they do not worship her or have any gratitude for what she does for us. The feminine is despised by these people, which is why Michelle Obama and Barbara Bush were transvestite men, along with the majority of public figures in the media who pretend to be women.

They know that the unity of the divine feminine and divine masculine is a powerful force sent directly from Creator/Source. So they have done all that they can to subvert it and diminish it. Women are tax slaves in a society that holds no value in Mothering or Fathering, only wealth creation and excessive consumption.

Reevaluating Valentine’s Day

The commercialization of Valentine’s Day has far-reaching negative consequences for both our planet and humanity. Those who participate in this mass consumerism, often unknowingly, contribute to a corporate-driven fiasco that should be critically examined. If society collectively stopped buying into the manufactured hype, companies like Hallmark and the broader corporate machine profiting from this holiday would collapse within a year.

However, this issue goes beyond mere complicity—it is part of a deliberate agenda that has encouraged people to unwittingly participate in rituals rooted in materialism, exploitation, and deceptive traditions. What many celebrate as a day of love has, in reality, been a means to funnel wealth from the struggling majority into the hands of the elite, reinforcing economic disparity and fueling industries with questionable ethical foundations.

The Hidden Costs Behind Valentine’s Day

1. The Banking and Jewelry Cartel 💰
Valentine’s Day fuels a never-ending debt-interest cycle, pushing people to overspend on jewellery, flowers, and gifts. The diamond industry, for example, thrives on artificial scarcity and unethical mining practices, forcing child and adult labourers to toil under dangerous, exploitative conditions. Despite their supposed rarity, diamonds are abundant, yet prices remain exorbitant due to controlled supply chains that inflate their value.
Similarly, the gold and silver markets experience a surge in profits, as people rush to buy jewellery without questioning the social and environmental cost of mining. The greeting card industry, backed by mass deforestation, continues to profit from wasteful paper consumption, benefiting corporate interests and the wealthiest 1–2% while contributing to environmental degradation.

2. The Chocolate Industry 🍫
The chocolate market—a major player in Valentine’s Day spending—profits from low-quality, chemically processed, sugar-laden products designed to be addictive, ensuring repeat customers year-round. Meanwhile, much of the world’s cocoa production relies on exploitative labour practices in developing nations, with farmers receiving only a fraction of the industry’s wealth.

3. The Floral Industry 🌹
Flower sales skyrocket every February, but few consider the true cost behind these seemingly romantic gestures. The majority of cut flowers are doused in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, often imported from farms where workers endure hazardous conditions. Purchased for a fleeting moment of joy, these flowers wilt within days, discarded without a second thought—yet their production carries significant environmental consequences.

The Psychological and Financial Toll

Beyond economic and environmental concerns, Valentine’s Day takes a deep emotional toll on individuals:

70% of singles report feeling depressed on this day, as societal pressure reinforces loneliness and inadequacy.

Many couples experience stress and anxiety, often due to the expectation of extravagant gestures, leading to both financial strain and emotional disconnect.

This manufactured belief—that a single day defines love and romance—warps relationships and human connection. The idea that love must be measured by material gifts rather than authenticity and presence is one of the greatest misconceptions propelled by corporate interests.

A More Meaningful Alternative

Instead of blindly following commercial traditions, we can redefine Valentine’s Day in ways that prioritize genuine connection, self-care, and conscious celebration.

✔ For Singles: Rather than dwelling on societal expectations, use this day as an opportunity for self-love and self-care. Pamper yourself, engage in hobbies, or host a gathering with friends for dinner, a movie, or a creative activity. Transform the day into a celebration of abundance, gratitude, and personal well-being.

✔ For Couples & Families: Make February 14th a day of presence and appreciation, free from corporate influence. Enjoy a home-cooked meal, light candles, and spend quality time together—without technology. Consider a manifestation or reflection ceremony, where you write down intentions, dreams, or affirmations. In the end, the most meaningful expressions of love—time, attention, and genuine affection—are completely free.

This Valentine’s Day, let’s move beyond the consumerist illusion and embrace love in its truest form—one that lasts throughout the year, not just for a single, marketed occasion.

Would love still exist if we stopped buying into the ritual of spending? Of course. But corporations would lose billions, and that is exactly why they don’t want us to rethink these traditions.

Let’s choose love, truth, and intention over manufactured obligation. 💖

In England Samhuinn from Scottish Gaelic or Samhain from Irish Gaelic, both pronounced ‘sow-inn’, is formed from the old Celtic words for ‘summer’s end’.  It is the most ancient of Druidic festivals and marks the start of the Celtic New Year. It is one of the four fire festivals of the Eight-Fold Wheel of the Year marking the end of the Harvest and Summer.

The modern name of Hallowe’en combines the Christian All Hallowes Eve on the 31st of October, All Saints Day on November 1st, and the Catholic All Souls Day on November 2nd.

During these three days, the Celts and Druids considered the Veil of Time was lifted to enable communication with the Otherworld.

This festival marked the end of the harvest when the final crops were brought in and the livestock reduced, and was therefore associated with change, transience, and death. The ending of Summer and the beginning of Winter were symbolized by the boundary between the lighter half of the year and the darker, colder half.

Over the past two thousand years, Samhuinn has gradually evolved from a day to remember and honour our ancestors to a tacky commercial event.  The spooky concept of ghosts, witches, and the other supernatural beings associated with Halloween stems from the ancient Celts’ beliefs about the thinning of the veil between the living and the dead, allowing spirits to enter the physical world.

The Druids and Celts would honour their ancestors and dead loved ones together with those who laid the foundations for us to exist today such as farmers, potters, teachers, healers and wise women. They would celebrate this time by offering food and drink for the returning spirits, which has now turned into trick or treating.

Druids, the priestly class in ancient Celtic cultures, played a central role in Samhain rituals such as lighting huge bonfires to honour the deceased and ward off evil spirits. Villagers used the bonfire ashes to bless and protect their homes for the coming winter.  The Druids also practised divination, using the festival’s spiritual energy to predict the future and to seek guidance on matters of health, wealth, and relationships.  The lighting of fires has now shifted to Bonfire Night in celebration of Guy Faulks.

The Roman invasion in the first century AD started the process of replacing our indigenous traditional customs to make their new system of control, the Christian religion, more palatable. The Roman festival of Feralia honoured the dead, and another, Pomona, celebrated the goddess of fruit and trees. The incorporation of Pomona, symbolized by the apple, is thought to have influenced the modern tradition of apple bobbing.

As Christianity spread across Europe, the church modified and merged the ancient indigenous festivals. In the 8th century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as All Saints’ Day, also known as All Hallows’ Day, to honour saints and martyrs. The night before, October 31, became known as All Hallows’ Eve, which eventually evolved into Halloween.  The Catholic All Souls’ Day, observed on November 2nd, was introduced to honour the dead, further blending traditions.

In medieval Europe, people went ‘souling’, going door to door offering prayers for the souls of the dead in exchange for food, particularly soul cakes. This practice is believed to be an early precursor to modern trick-or-treating.  ‘Mumming’ and ‘guising’ were also popular, where people would dress in costumes and perform songs, plays, or tricks in exchange for food or drink, another precursor to Halloween customs.

Halloween has replaced the ancient Celtic spiritual event of honouring our ancestors with modern adaptations emphasising costumes, parties, trick-or-treating, and spooky themes.

I wish you and your loved ones a Blessed Samhuinn. May you be protected from all harm, both seen and unseen throughout the dark half of the year during the depths of Winter to emerge again at the Winter Solstice reborn into the new light.
