I am Maxine Culpa. Along with my late daughter Mia, I first became aquainted with Saint Sybian through our husband, Composer Felix Sebastian Culpa. He was born and raised in Calabria, Italia, near the site of the ancient Greek settlement of Sybaris, in the last century. When he was thirteen, Sybian began to appear to him, initiating him into her spiritual and sensual world. Felix, who was forced to disappear after unfortunate and definitely unsaintlike events , told us of Sybian's devotion to the pleasures of the father's creation: food, drink, the arts (particularly music and dance) all nature ---especially the body!! With the help of American Musicologist Patrick Lockwood, I have written these entries. Now, He also has been taken from us. Our new Scribe is Daniel Pierce, and our new Goddesss is Esperanza, whom Sybian herself has ordained. I hope that all who view this site will be encouraged to let their minds and senses wander to discover the voluptuous gifts the father freely gives us. Newcomers are urged to go to the earliest postings.

The Seemingly Never-Ending Adolescence of Felix Culpa


Uncle Milo had taught Felix a couple things on the accordian and they spent most of the summer playing for weddings and festivals. Ah, the Weddings! The brides and attendants,so ripe, rosy and ready! The grooms, so pale and pensive. On the day after St. Sybian's Feastday, the weddings were non-stop from dawn to midnight. In the area of Castro, there is the ROMANELLI GROTTO which has frescoes detailing a sexual symbology. Several mid-summer evenings, Felix ended up at the grotto with one of the bridal attendants(one time, a bride's mother, if Felix is to believed) after playing and singing at weddings in the village.


For Felix, sexual education came complete with charts.
