dionysus-winelord

🍇Dionysus is my home.💜

He is that feeling you get when you know you belong.

That flooding relief of finally having a place to call your own.

He's that warm loving embrace that holds you after a long day.

He's the feeling of enjoying a hearty meal, free of worry and stress.

He's that smooth drink that soothes your nerves, Tea or Alcohol, doesn't matter.

He's that comfort you feel when you realize you are no longer judged,

That sweet pull of freedom and release.

He's the smile of someone you love, the laugh that just warms your heart.

He's the relaxing feeling you get when you finally stretch out in bed after a hard day.

Dionysus is my home.

He's the one I return to at the end of the day.

He's the one I had felt homesick for.

He's the one I share my meals with, that loving company that washes away my anxiety and worry.

He's the one who keeps my mug full, knowing full well that warm tea is what I really need to chill out.

He's the one who holds me as we watch a movie, with a fuzzy blanket wrapped around my shoulders and a fire crackling in the fireplace.

He's the one who holds me, soothing all worries as I fall into Hypnos' gift of sleep.

Dionysus has always been my home.

He was the one my soul felt homesick for.

I finally belong.

I finally have a Home.

Praise Dionysus,

He that empowers us to fight mental illness,

That accepts us with our struggles with love and encouragement.

Hail the god of festivity and the patron of those chained by their own minds.

For he has eased the weight to bare,

So that we may see the joy in life once more.

The liberator of the chains of illness,

Praise Dionysus, and show love, for he shows us his in our battles

Historically Sacred Items/Offerings to each of the Ouranic Theoi! I made this for my Hellenic polytheism group on discord, so I thought I’d share this information with all of you as well.

All information has been taken from theoi.com as well as various historical books on the gods, and I have decided to make this powerpoint so that other people don’t have to sift through all the pdfs and books themselves.

Make sure to click each image to get a fullview! Ευχαριστώ!
