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.

Scenes from the Estate


Maxine had succeeded in converting Pedro and his ladies to Sybian’s Vita Volupta. Pedro quit the drug trade altogether, and a new code of conduct for the clients took effect.( Not that this way was forced on people; as Maxine and Felix both knew, Sybian’s philosophy of enjoyment of self meant appreciation not abuse of others. Pleasure was inclusive not exclusive.) The younger sisters and cousins of the ladies of the Casa de Amor worked as hostesses and attendants.

With his profits from selling drugs, Pedro’s brother, Emilio, had bought an abandoned estate just outside the forest preserve south of Chicago, and it was there in the summer that a new order of Sybarites took root, As the older girls became priestesses, the younger ones became novices and acolytes, learning to appreciate the Father’s gifts of life, love, nature, and one’s body.
