Dionysus
Dionysus
Mad and Beautiful
Blood and wine from your mouth to mine
Break me like Pentheus, renew me like Ampelos
I am yours, bend me to your will
Guide my hands and mouth in service to you
Androgynous God blur the world around me that I may perceive you in all
Break my chains, shatter my ego
That I may be an instrument for your worship
This I wish
Io Dionysus

Do you have any suggestions on Their I could pray to for good luck while working crew in my theatre department?
Hello, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Dionysos, patron of theater?

If the town of Thebes becomes inflamed and tries to oust my Maenads from the mountains, I shall go out there myself and lead my Bacchants in battle.
On Lampteria: Notes for Celebration
Lampteria was a festival held in Achaia, celebration Dionysos Lamptêr (torch bearing) or Dionysos Lamptêros (of the torches). Pausanias writes that Lampteria involved carrying torches to the temple of Dionysos at night, and leaving vases of wine throughout the city. I can’t find any other information on Lampteria, which means that it’s pretty open for me to do what I want with it. So, here’s where I’m going with Lampteria, which I’m choosing to celebrate on June 30th. There’s nothing I could find about the historical date of Lampteria unfortunately.
Through divination I’ve decided/figured out that connecting Lampteria to Dionysos’ khthonic aspects and to stranded shades is the way that I’m going to go. I have a lot of personal associations with torches as beacons, the idea of using Dionysos’ torches as a beacon for the dead who have been stranded for lack of payment to Charon really resonates with me. I get the impression that Dionysos would lead the shades to the crossroads, where Hekate can help guide them back to Charon if their wait is over.

Vittorio Zecchin - Eva - 1915
mythology alphabet: z - zagreus [(Greek: Ζαγρεύς) ] - the obscure and ancient figure of Zagreus was identified with the god Dionysus.
A single early appearance of Zagreus is in a quoted line from the lost epic Alkmeonis, written in the sixth century BC if not earlier: “Mistress Earth and Zagreus who art above all other gods.” The Ionian word zagre signifies a “pit for the capture of live animals”
history: According to the followers of Orphism, Zeus had lain with Persephone — who, by the tradition ascribed to Orpheus, was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter — in the form of a serpent. The result of their union was Zagreus. Zeus had intended Zagreus to be his heir, but a jealous Hera persuaded the Titans to kill the child. Like the infant Zeus in Cretan myth, the child Zagreus was entrusted to the Titans who distracted him with toys. While he gazed into a mirror they tried to seize him and he fled, changing into various animal forms in his attempt to escape. Finally he took the form of a bull, and in that form they caught him, tore him to pieces, and devoured him. […] Zeus implanted the still-beating heart into the mortal woman Semele, from whom the child was eventually born again, despite Hera’s intervention. Some accounts say that he was reassembled and resurrected by Demeter; others, that Zeus fed his heart to Semele in a drink, making her pregnant with Dionysus.
