I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

re: cursing

i’m not going to write a lengthy how-to guide on cursing, but here’s the TLDR;

cleanse your space - start fresh, have a clean slate, and calm the energy in the room

protect yourself - now’s the time to cast a circle or [insert some other shield or ward]

channel - gather energy; turn on your battery or plug in your charger, so to speak

cast the spell - as usual, do whatever you want

banish - get rid of anything that shouldn’t be there and cleanse what’s left

ground - shake it off, go drink some water and have a snack

Explaining Dionysos (As Simply As Possible)

So, you want to know more about Dionysos, but don't know where or how to start? Don't worry, because I've definitely been there! Hence why I've put together a little guide to give you some starter knowledge

DISCLAIMER: This is only a basic guide, I'll be including sources that I've found helpful that I recommend you check out. I'm not a fountain of knowledge, and those resources will help deepen understanding

The Many Names Of Dionysos

Dionysos goes by a lot of different names, many of which you can find on theoi.com under "Dionysus Names And Epitaph"

But I'll explain some of the more common ones here:

- Obviously, the most common way you'll hear Him referred to is Dionysus or Dionysos. Both of these iterations mean the same thing, with Dionysos being the original Greek and Dionysus being it's Latinized counterpart - Another name He commonly goes by is Bacchus, which is where the term "Bacchae" comes from - more on that later!

Myths And Stories

Like all the Gods, the best way to learn about them is through stories written about them by the Ancient Greeks themselves. Below, I've listed some plays and myths as well as short summaries of each. Like I said at the start though, please don't just go off of my descriptions, reading the original stories will always give you more accurate information

Plays/Poetry About Dionysos

- THE BACCHAE (EURIPIDES): A Greek tragedy about revenge and the cost of disrespecting a God. The term "Bacchae" refers to His female followers, which were also known as Maeneds - THE FROGS (ARISTOPHANES): A comedy about Dionysos' descent into the Underworld to revive the deceased writer Euripides

Myths Featuring Dionysos

Dionysiaca, the epic poem by Nonnus Panopolis, is the most detailed source of Dionysian myth, but you can probably find more accessible iterations of the stories elsewhere online. There are a lot of myths, but I've supplied short summaries of key ones below

I do urge people to look into others, which you can find a list of via thecollector.com under "10 Myths About The Greek God Dionysus" HelPol aside, they're just really interesting

- THE BIRTH OF DIONYSOS/WRATH OF HERA: Son of an affair between Zeus and Semele, the myth includes Hera's revenge and Zeus' protection of His son - AMPELOS AND THE GRAPEVINE: Details how Dionysos came to invent wine after the death of a young satyr whom Dionysos loved - ARIADNE: How Ariadne, after being abandoned by Theseus, became Dionysos' wife - HERA'S RESCUE AND DIONYSOS' ASCENCION TO OLYMPUS: How Dionysos rescued Hera from Hephaesteus, which resulted in her welcoming him as an Olympian

Days Of Worship

I struggled with finding exact dates as to when these holidays were celebrated, I don't even know if "holiday" is the proper terminology, but hopefully this will give a decent amount of understanding on some important dates in the Dionysian calendar

- CITY DIONYSIA (25TH MARCH - 1ST APRIL): A celebration which involves a focus on dramatic arts and civic pride, as well as the subversion of societal roles

- RURAL DIONYSIA (30TH DECEMBER - 5TH JANUARY): As the name suggests, this focuses on the natural aspects of life, and honours traditional customs

- LENAIA (28TH JANUARY - 2ND FEBRUARY): This celebration focuses on wine-related attributes, as well as ecstacy and connecting to His divine presence

- ANTHESTERIA (3RD - 5TH MARCH): A celebration of Spring, and an honouring of the dead

Of course, this is just a basic list and by no means an entire summary of Dionysian knowledge, if there's anything I missed then please let me know! I can go into more detail about other aspects (like offering ideas or devotional acts) in another post. But if you have any questions then leave a comment!
