Welcome to my side-blog! On here is where I will have posts about my deities, especially AI generated images of them (Please DO NOT repost or take any images, re-blogging is ok though.) I have my esoteric knowledge posted on my blog somewhere, lol. | 25 | She/her | Godspouse and consort. | polytheist/pagan | This is a safe place for all pagans from all practices and cultures, is safe for consorts and godspouses, and is safe for anyone 2SLGBTQIA+! | This is NOT a safe place for anyone against the LGBTQIA+ and not safe for bigots of any kind meaning this place is not safe for those against LGBTQIA+, racists, homophobes, transphobes, terfs/swerfs, etc. | Porn bots and porn blogs will be blocked. | My other blog is Miss-Oshun99. |
My favorite mermaid art is the one of a family photo with a mermaid mother and old sailor father and their sons are both reverse merfolk (human legs with fish heads).
Nazis will never be welcome in paganism. They have no space in our communities, we will have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to nazis. You have no right to the cultures, gods and religions you hijack to spread your disgusting ideologies. You will find no refuge or comraderie amongst pagans.
Reblog to let nazis know they’re not welcome here.

To worship the gods is to feel that even when the world is falling apart, friends are leaving and everything is changing, they remain the same and by our side.
I haven't been able to do much to celebrate this year, but I've been sharing some alcohol with Him and inviting Him to watch Warehouse 13 with me, as that's my current TV obsession! I have really enjoyed this time honoring him <3
The City Dionysia (known also as the Greater Dionysia) was one of two ancient annual Athenian festivals grouped together as The Dionysia, dedicated to Lord Dionysus. The City Dionysia was held during the 10th to 17th of Elaphebolion (which roughly coincides to late March to early April) for around 8 days. The festival celebrates and honors the origin of Dionysos Eleuthereus' (which meant "The Liberator") arrival to Athens and is heavily known and famed for the theatrical competitions of Greek tragedies.
HISTORY
Two main events were pillars to the City Dionysia, which usually split the festival days in half. These were the procession and dramatic competitions.
During the first day of City Dionysia, a grand procession (known as pompe) was held entering the city and marching to the Theatre of Dionysus in which phalloi were carried atop of poles alongside a wooden statue of Dionysos Eleuthereus. Other important offerings were also carried during this procession like baskets, long-loaf bread, jars of water, goatskin bags of wine, and many more offerings. These were later followed a day after by dithyrambic competitions. Music and poetry was also played out in the following days by flute players or celebrity poets. To end the first half, bulls were sacrificed and a feast was held. A second procession then occurred (known as the komos).
In the second half of the City Dionysia, theatre and plays were held, Selected playwrights would announce the titles of their plays, days ahead, and present a tetralogy of three Greek tragedies followed by a satyr play (much more lighthearted) to end the competition on a good note. These plays were performed live in front of an audience who judged them, five days of the festival were set aside just for this. Though less important in the City Dionysia compared to the Lenaia, comedic competitions were also held. On the last day of the festival, the winners were announced and the prize of a goat was given.
ORIGINS 🍆
According to myth, the festival was established after the bordering town of Eleutherae brought a cult statue of Dionysus to Athens. Athenians initially rejected this and so as punishment, a plague was brought about by Dionysus affecting male Athenians and their genitalia. A cure was found with the acceptance of the cult of Dionysus. As payment, Athenians must offer due honors to the god and hold a procession carrying a phallus in recognition of their failings.
