Wish I connected more w/ the Gods during this rough week. Keep your heads high everyone, Tyche deals luck blindly so let’s ride the waves.

Thank you Hermes for a stress free journey and allowing me to get first dibs on the beds, it pays to be a polytheist ☀️☀️

Things I did as a devotee

Dionysus:

•Went through the LGBTQ art gallery at my local museum

•Placed a greeting card w/ two queer men on Dionysus’s altar in honor of pride month & him as a sexually fluid god

Hermes:

•Thanked him at every green light I got

•Bought him tiddlywinks because I had the random feeling he’d enjoy that on his altar space. Though I’d like to think him and Dionysus enjoy each others offerings as they’re in the same area <3

To Dionysus, his myths, and his lore:

Oh hear me Dionysus; savior and giver of wings, androgynous, frenzied king. God of all wild, son of Zeus & born again. The fire of our lives.

Drinking god of cocktails; a craze of gone women

It pays to be in Cockaigne singing a ballade

Obits hung to mourn the men…

Naked & torn limb from limb— yes, we are the prowling panthers

Youthful god with girly eyes wrap us in these grapevines

Seclude us in these sagas, of the….

Unruly & divine, twice born— heart always beating

Serpentine Dionysus

[maniadepressive]

O’ hear me eleutherios dionysus lysios, Soterius Dionysus, Nyktelios Dionysus, Thriambos Dionysus, or whatever name you wished to be called. He— who was born twice out of his father, lord Zeus’s thigh, as a god unrivaled in madness and pure delighted chaos. He, the free god, who escaped enslavement within the Aegean Sea and formed his captors into dolphins.

I offer you a poem, and hope you receive it and my passion in turn.

Red wine drunkens their bellies

—and it is violent, what these wild women do

To consume and be fulfilled by His essence

For they are created by mother

But born from Dionysus.

I ask as when you walk with the Maenads in their mania, you walk with me as well and return me from madness as not battered beyond recognition but free after frenzy. Heal me and those around…so they may feel your divine ecstasy too.

I give so that you may give. But also because I love.
