🍇💘 happy rural dionysia! 💘🍇

This is my altar for today! Theres a candle for Dionysus in the middle (back), bracelet I made for him on the left, fluorite hearts carving on the right, and a peen shaped cookie in the middle (front)

As for dionysia activities, today I’ve prayed to him and accidentally fell asleep, made sugar cookies (with vanilla frosting & sprinkles), read hymns, prayed again, and now I’m probably gonna play some video games and maybe later watch a movie :3

🍇🐅 Dionysus - Cabin 12🍷🎭

Lemme tell ya somethin' / If you didn't come to party / Don't bother knockin' on my door / I got a lion in my pocket / And baby he's ready to roar, yeah yeah / Everybody's got a bomb / We could all die here today / But before I'll let that happen / I'll dance my life away

The funny thing about not planning anything for a major festival is stepping into a shop to get last minute offerings thinking "please just show me what you want" and finding the most perfect thing in a matter of seconds.

Hʏᴍɴ ᴛᴏ Aɴᴛɪɴᴏᴜs, Dɪᴏɴʏsus & Aᴘʜʀᴏᴅɪᴛᴇ

I sing Antinous, the divine boy, the morning star, the King of flowers with sweet limbs. You are one with Osiris, O pretty God! Come in your boat, you who are fire and water, bear and lion, peace and war! Bring with you the fresh scents of perfume and offer joy to our hearts!

Come with Dionysus the noisy, in intoxication and peace, with the panthers and the maenads and let us taste the pure wine of your ecstasy!

Come with the most beautiful, the marine Aphrodite, who subjects gods and men to her power, she who surrounds the sea and rejoices with the nymphs along the shores!

Only then, o pure deities, will my heart be in celebration, a mirror for the sacred colors of spring.

Created this anthem this morning, it could become a nice personal Elaphebolion festival during Dionysia Te Astika: feel free to use it! Glory to the gods!

HAPPY HALOA!!!

I did some looking into it to come up with some ideas for some ideas on how to celebrate it today and as someone who is infact not a farmer.

Here's some ideas and a brief overview of what Haloa is.

So Haloa is essentially a festival of harvest or gardening depending on what scholars you ask, but the point of it is pretty clear imo.

Celebrations to Lady Demeter, Dionysus, and Poseidon for a bountiful harvest that year.

Lady Demeter: goddess of Harvest (all harvest)

Dionysus: god of grapes and wine (so hill harvests)

Poseidon: god of the sea and all ocean vegetation (seashore harvest)

So since the celebration is about harvest and a very literal one and i am not a farmer, im going with a more metaphorical harvest like with what we've done with the full moon.

So my intentions for this celebration are going to be much more along the lines of a personal harvest praising the gods for other aspects of what they do and celebrating them still.

So like this

Demeter: for her motherly love and protection over my growth. she also sustains the earth with a rich bounty. so for a prayer "thank you Lady Demeter for keeping me sustained even in the worst of conditions" and an offering of bread, wheat, or grain (whatever you can get your hands on)

(i'm going to offer something that may remind her of Persephone as now is the time where i am that its winter)

Posideon: for his healing waters and the ferocity of the waves that keep me inspired.

Focusing on the ocean ruler aspect and renewal. You can look at videos of the ocean to relax and meditate on, connect to the sea a bit, and invite Poseidon in to be with you for a time. That can serve as an offering and a bonding experience with the celebrated god to grant you renewal.

(Since they focus on seashore, specifically and that's a lot like my home. I'll be making offerings of seashells and maybe Mother of Pearl if i have any)

Dionysus: for his grand smile and chaotic energy that has always added spice to my life.

Focusing on his celebrations and abundance aspects. Allow yourself to overindulge a bit today, eat what you want as long as it's safe (if you have been on a restricted diet please be careful!) Enjoy a drink of wine or grape juice mixed with water, 3 parts water 1 part wine (or grape juice) is the recipe for his wine.

and there you have it! a way to respect the gods today in celebration and still keep it on the lighter end if need be. Happy Haola everyone!

I’m crying…,. I made sugar cookies for rural dionysia and while most of them are just regular circles, I thought it’d be funny if I tried to make a peen-shaped one (cuz of the whole phallus-shaped cakes thing) and it turned out so funky 😭 I actually love it so much hdhxjhsgxjejdjsj
