In this episode of Vera House Unscripted, we explore the origins of Valentine’s Day and how ancient Roman festivals like Lupercalia continue to shape modern traditions. We talk through the historical roots of Saint Valentine, Friday the 13th superstition, and how belief systems evolve over time.

From there, the conversation shifts into Richmond-specific culture, including Friday the 13th tattoo traditions across the city and how local shops turn superstition into shared ritual. We also discuss recent sightings of Buddhist monks walking through Richmond, public reactions to visible faith practices, and how different belief systems coexist in modern urban spaces.

We spend time unpacking Richmond stories, including long-standing rumors about underground tunnels beneath the Richmond Coliseum and surrounding downtown buildings. The episode also touches on local witchcraft communities, pagan symbolism, and how internet forums and Reddit threads fuel curiosity around occult culture in Richmond.

Later in the episode, we move into broader conversations about authenticity, AI, and creator culture, including the development of Myke’s AI assistant and how technology intersects with storytelling, filmmaking, and personal branding. Throughout the discussion, we examine how mythology, religion, superstition, and modern media overlap in everyday life.

This episode centers on Richmond history, Valentine’s Day lore, Friday the 13th tattoos, monks downtown, witches, urban legends, and the belief systems that shape how people interpret the world around them.
