The holiday of Faunalia was set aside for worship of the Roman god Faunus. He rules over fields and shepherds, also the art of prophecy. He is associated with woodpeckers, rain, and the wilderness. Faunus can grant virility or fertility, and luck in the pursuit of carnal pleasures (though not so much with romance). Traditionally celebrated in rural areas, this holiday features feasting and dances performed in triple measure.
Now is a good time for bed-sports that are free of romantic entanglements. To see a casual lover today, anoint yourself with essential oil that has a musky or woodsy fragrance. Then pray to Faunus: "As the horny ram to the ewe, Make me virile in all that I do. As the wooly ewe to the ram, Make me sexy in all that I am. Faunus of field and wild wood, Pray let my lust-hunting be good!" Indulge responsibly and remember to take precautions. |
