[winestainedpoetry]

Dripping red,

Bright as gems,

Trailing down my chin.

Eyes wild,

Teeth bared,

I take the heart

And bite it.

I am as my ancestors,

Wild and untamed.

"Meanads," they called them.

Those who refused

To be constrained.

Followers of the divine,

Embracing in his mysteries.

The coiling of snakes,

The leopard's snarl,

The bull's roar,

Shrieking in my ears,

As I pour another libation.

Like Him,

I refuse to be caged.

Dionysos, god of wine and the pleasures it can bring, was extremely popular during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The Greek kings who ruled the lands conquered by Alexander the Great took him as patron deity, and the Romans, impressed by the luxury and wealth of those kingdoms, filled their private villas with images of the god. Dionysos could be shown either as an elderly bearded man, the perfect drinking companion, or as a beautiful youth.

Dionysus and Ares?

I know I’ve said I don’t do deities, but I just keep thinking more and more about Dionysus and, more recently, Ares.

I would appreciate some thoughts, opinions, advice, resources, etc. regarding the two as well as regarding greek gods in general.

I should mention that I currently don’t have any space where I am to set up a witch altar (all my magic stuff is still in a cardboard box that I recently got out of storage lol) let alone any devotional altars.

I have made a playlist for Dionysus and just made one for Ares (will drop links/lists if literally even one person asks)
