Devotional Journal #2

It’s been a while since I’ve talk to Dionysus or done anything for him. So I decided that I would try to do a ritual today to offer him some bread I baked.

Before this I talked to him with my Tarpt cards and he was upset with my neglect. I knew I needed to make it up to him but besides my the time from my last post I’ve never really done a ritual so I didn’t know how to go about it. I did some research and agreed to give him some of the bread I baked a few days ago.

I washed up, got my room ready, put together the materials, and play an old hymn to Dionysus.

I then lit the candles and began to speak quietly. I didn’t know what to say or do and it was generally very clumsy. After finishing the ritual I disposed of the bread and put out the candles.

I was happy I finally talked to him but dissatisfied with the way it went. Dionysus seemed to to agree. Overall I hope I can just be more active in my worship

Dionysus sketches from instagram–I like the challenge of representing the duality of his gentleness and understanding with his potential for frenzy and brutality

“If Bacchus ever had a colour he would claim for his own, it should surely be the shade of tannin on drunken lips, of John Keats’ ‘purple-stained mouth’, or perhaps even of Homer’s dangerously wine-dark sea” - Victoria Finlay

Devotional Journal #1

I just had a long talk with Dionysus using a collection of multiple divination tools that resulted in me cracking an egg over my old dog’s grave.

I hadn’t thought to look up the meaning at first but I was asking if he would accept me as a worshipper using my Book of Answers. (His answer: It will substain you; It will Cost you; It will be great).

I got nervous so I asked him what it will cost using my tarot deck. I don’t remember the exact cards but it was along the lines of Life, Cycle, Birth, etc. confused I trued using my tunes to get further clarifications but it was the same idea with Family, Life cycle, Inheritents, Birth. I returned to the book of answers to ask if he meant he wanted me to give up a family member or something (I was pretty nervous at this point. His answer: The Answer Is In Your Backyard. I thought for a second and realized Related to this topic my dog’s grave is in my backyard so I asked if that’s what he meant. His answer: Of course; Look deeper. I tried to figure out what else he would also want and figured he probably wanted an egg from my chicken coop (represents birth and inheritance so you know it works) I asked him and he said yes so I went to work.

I found the area we buried Indie(my dog) it was a rough estimate because his grave has been completely overtaken by earth a long time ago. I did a very short prayer devoting the grave to Dionysus and scattered flowers across the area. I then cracked the egg over the area and left it to rest.

When I got back inside I asked if that if was what he intended and he said: “The intention does not matter” “tell someone what it means to <I>you</I>”

I decided to look up the significance of the action and found that in Ancient Greece and Rome leaving an egg by a grave could represent good luck in the afterlife or a higher chance at rebirth. That’s a really lovely idea. And I admit I was nervous in the process but Dionysus was simply looking after me and my dog.

Thank you Bacchus, Dionysus, patron of the gender non-conforming, the transgender, the mentally ill, and outcasted. God of maddness and wine, of parties and celebrations, of nature and rebirth, outcasted by Greeks before taken in and changed. You protect us and watch us. I thank you for your actions and praise your life.

We miss the sorrow that we never experienced

Long for the pain that which is different to our own

We aim to be heroes

Gods in more than just name

We worship their false idols

What they call wood and shame

All in hope to release our stains

We wish to wallow in blood simply because it is not tears

[smarmykemetic]

“stumbled into the attention of gods you never really believed in until they had their talons and claws deep inside you, scratching and marking you as theirs in a way as ancient as humanity itself you spend hours scribbling down the counsel of gods who touch your soul, meditating on broken, disjointed whispers and images surfacing from the depths of your mind, the gods’ divine counsel flickering in and out like a faulty lightbulb in a dimly lit room, you struggle and strain to find meaning through the strobe-lighted, dusty air in another time you might have been called holy but in this age you are only called strange. you are a relic from a different time; the devotee new and improved, now with an iPhone and automobile. your crystals and incense and tarot cards sit next to DVDs and Pokémon merch, you provide offerings of Coca-Cola and potato chips, all the riches of a modern era where the gods are all but forgotten ‘sacred' used to mean gilded and quiet and sterile, unreachable -to commune with the gods was a privilege for the wealthy and powerful- but now the earthly perks are gone and so are the limitations. the gods select who they please, from under the high school bleachers smoking a joint or sitting in the pews during Sunday morning Mass, from the gutters or the libraries or sitting alone in a cheap bug-infested apartment late into the night, they find you and let you know those old stories are true, they are here and oh, do they ever have plans for you.”

I’ve read many posts about gods in the modern era but where are the posts for the humans they snatch up?

His blood was wine and in his glass was something much thicker.

[golldfinch]

Dionysus was the god of fertility and wine, later considered a patron of the arts. He created wine and spread the art of viticulture. He had a dual nature; on one hand, he brought joy and divine ecstasy; or he would bring brutal and blinding rage, thus reflecting the dual nature of wine. Dionysus and his followers could not be bound by fetters.

Hestia- chopping and collecting firewood for the coming cold seasons, sorting family recipe books in the cupboard, unpacking wool socks and sweaters from their boxes

Apollo- savoring the last few weeks of summer heat, whistling tunes heard from the high school orchestra room in it’s new semester, putting together portfolios for art competitions just around the corner

Artemis- watching the moon soar higher and slower across the sky with each night, hiking the trails that will soon be soaked in rich warm colors, weekend girl scout camping trips

Hera- washing all the bedsheets, packing away bright sun dresses and sandals, fixing the healthiest school lunches for her kids

Hekate- becoming more and more excited for halloween, preparing samhain and lunar rituals, carving wands from tree branches fallen in high winds

Ares- finally getting back into a workout routine, planning carepackages for soldiers during thanksgiving

Demeter- busily preparing for the harvest, strolling through cemeteries to calm down after a long day of work, excitedly baking cinnamon and apple treats

Zeus- cloud gazing as the wind slowly picks up in strength, feeling in control as the new season sets in, smelling an oncoming storm without the humidity of summer

Athena- buckling down on schoolwork, laying outside with a book in the finally-cool breeze, becoming involved in upcoming political campaigns

Hades- leaving bundles of autumn flowers against headstones, visiting family now that everyone isn’t so busy, finally feeling alive again with the soon-to-be-autumn spirit

Aphrodite- scouting out the coziest cafes with a friend, treating herself to new dark lipsticks, tying the last of the blooming wildflowers into her hair

Hephaestus- hurriedly finishing house projects in preparation for the cold, smelling the heater turned on for the first time in months, crackling fire pits surrounded by blankets and log benches

Dionysus- visiting the best orchards and vineyards before they get busy, late movie nights with lovers, seasonal motivation towards mental health

Hermes- getting one last use out of an old kite, sending invitations to distant family for the holidays, being startled by the chilly wind and pulling his favorite scarf closer

Hypnos- lazily stargazing, cuddling into new flannel blankets, setting out nuts and seeds for the animals to gather before hibernation
