Dionysian Stuff

Hello! I thought i'd share some dionysian shit for you guys (all based off of my personal experiences with him, worship and relations with deities can vary between practices/practitioner) - Dionysus/Bacchus • God of Wine, Madness, Theatre, Religious Ecstasy, Festivity, Passion - Stuff I Associate him with • Mental Health • Self confidence • LGBT (he helped me come out to my parents/helped me realize I was agender) • That feeling when someone mentions a special interest of yours - Symbolism • Thyrsus, Grape vine, Ivy, Masks (the comedy and tragedy ones specifically), Pine cones/Pine trees • Serpents, Leopards, Panthers (Wild cats in general he seems to take a liking to, likes Leopards specifically tho) _ Colour Symbolism • Red, Purple, Dark red (like wine red, burgundy ig?), Gold - Personality (? this is just how he's communicated with me) • He's really big on confidence and gets kinda pissed at you when you talk bad about yourself • Really chaotic, kinda impulsive. (communicated that I was bored, he communicated back to go swimming in the lake by my neighbourhood) • Flirtatious but in a casual way? Like he'll compliment you and be generally 'flirty' ish but if you're uncomfy he stops • He loves talking about Ariadne (simp much?) like he loves her sm and its really cute. sometimes it ends up with him getting pissed about how Theseus left her and how she didn't deserve that tho. _ Offerings that he's liked • Poetry/Writing things for him • Wine (he's asked for it but since I'm a minor and cant get any I just give him some grape juice/sparkling ciders and that shit) • Fruit (especially the ones that are commonly made into wine) • Honey • Theatre stuff (He's liked it when I leave playbills from any shows I go to see on his altar) • I made him a playlist (since music is a big part of how my brain works) and he really liked that, so music stuff • Pine cones or pine needles (I live in a place where hurricanes and storms knock the pine branches off the trees so I give him a lot of those) • Stuff related to Ariadne (mazes, thread(maybe not red thread, he doesn't like Theseus very much)) _ Tarot that shows up a lot when I do readings for him • Temperance • Three of cups • Nine of pentacles Hope you liked reading my lil Dionysian post. If you have any experiences that you'd like to add, or questions you have, please send an ask, or ask/add in the replies! I'd really like to hear about your experiences with him, and I'm happy to answer anything.

Thank you for the help!

Hello, friend! I'm really new to the world of witchcraft and deity stuff, but my research has led me to believe that Dionysus has reached out to me. For example, I've been craving grapes like never before. Two of my kintypes are animals that are associated with him, soon after I decided to look into witchcraft, my partner found a random cluster of wild grapes next to our house. Songs associated with him fill me with an overwhelming positive feeling. This, among other things, has led me to believe that he is reaching out to me. I guess my question is, how does one know if Dionysus is really reaching out? I'm hesitant to reach out, but I don't want to ignore him if he is. That just seems rude. I just want to know for sure.

Sorry, I know I'm rambling, hope you're doing well!

Hi! that actually sounds a lot like how he reached out to me. I'd suggest some kind of pendulum work, meditate on it, tarot maybe? some kind of divination to make sure. a lot of witchcraft is intuition based, so if you have a strong feeling then it's likely he is! Best of luck friend!

⚠️TW!! SUI@IDAL THOUGHTS AND DEPRESSION MENTIONED!⚠️

St. John's Wort is something I have personal experience with. When I was 13-14, my parents gave it to me as a daily supplement, telling me it would prevent depression. Months later I was in a behavioral health facility for severe depression and suicidal ideation. It got to the point I nearly hung myself. Please, for the love of all that's good, BE CAREFUL WITH THINGS LIKE THAT! Just because it's a 'natural supplement' doesn't mean it's safe.

This is your friendly reminder that herbs aren't inherently safe.

Natural doesn't mean Safe.

Lightning is natural. Opium, therefore heroin and opiate drugs are derived from poppies. Cinnamon oil will burn your skin. Lilies are toxic to cats and will cause organ failure. Activated charcoal will neutralize your prescription medications and literally anything else in your system. St. John's Wort will destroy your serotonin production and mess with your happiness threshold if it DOESNT KILL YOU FIRST.

So anyway.

Do some damn good research every time you go to eat, breathe, bring around your pets, bathe in, or smoke something. Be safe please.

Tip Jar

As a little with a lot of self consciousness, I needed this...

me: i don't want to be a regressor i hate it

Dionysus: well, good that we love your little self then

me: i just wanna be normal :(

Loki: define normality

me: like when you tell people about it and they accept you

Hermanubis: people don't even accept someone's a leftist you think it's worth hating your coping mechanism because of some losers opinion?

me: it makes a lot of sense but I don't wanna think about it right now i just wanna be sad for now

Dionysus: and we're gonna be sad with you. just remember that we love you and don't give up
