A friend sent me a dionysus statue of him wearing a grape earring and I was like "hold on lemme draw it!"

I've said this before and I'll say it again.

Do not use religion to push radfem or any other Nazi or Nazi-adjacent rhetoric. You are helping no one.

May you know no peace. May your tongues go limp or be lost. May whatever part of you that you use to harm someone falls off. May you no longer hurt anyone.

If this pisses you off. Good. I will never be silent on this matter. Ever. My Gods will never encourage your bullshit. You are the epitome of what it means to be an idiot and one so arrogant that you think using any Deity at all to push your nazi bullsthi. May you never be forgiven.

Do not use Their names. Do not claim to be Them or of Them because you are clearly the opposite of Them. May your hubris never go unchecked. May your agos be a beacon to the Theoi. May you never lay a finger on anyone ever again. May your tongue fall out so that you can't harm anyone.

As a Hellenic Polytheist, it is my duty to be as vocal and blunt as I can. I will not stand idly by and let you do away with whatever strip of empathy, morality, that you may have had in the past. You are not one of us.

You know who you are.

I have a question! Fellow devotees of Dionysus...do you consider Dionysus a 'forest' god? A god of the wilderness? I tend to think of them that way!

Hellenic Polytheist version of Christmas where Dionysus' birth is celebrated through singing and dancing by firelight. People drink wine, dance in various animal masks crowned with ivy, and shake their thyrsos to the god. To keep warm, they light a bonfire and throw in symbolic items representing their worries/problems, showing them letting the problems go. After three days (representing the three times Dionysus lives) of different forms of celebration pass, everybody spends an evening resting and telling stories about the year - good and bad.

Dionysus rides in a flying chariot with eight leopards, all crowned with ivy (and sometimes a ninth leopard with glowing eyes at the front, depending on what you believe). He gives wine and delicious food to those who were good throughout the year but leaves strangely ominous objects to those who were bad (one half of a pair of scissors, rotten grapes, a disembodied lion head, etc.).

If only my ideas could be brought into reality; it would be so fun. 😮‍💨😔
