Suuuper late posting this but here’s the completed staff of Thyrsus from a previous post, plus an outfit reveal!
I apologize for the lengthy outfit fixing in the beginning, the wind decided it wanted to fuck with me lmao.
I took these photos when I was at the museum at Ancient Corinth. The marble head of Dionysos was likely made during the 2nd century AD and was located in the Peribolos of Temple E (Octavia).
I attached a grapevine I ordered from Etsy with some UV resin and added some golden leaf crumbles. I hope you like it!
The bowl looks a little out of place but it's for offerings and I hope to get more candles and more stuff overall but I'm a broke 13 year old so most of this is from my yard or stolen from my mother (she does witchy stuff)
FINALLY! my first altar for our beloved Lysios Dionysus🍷🍇. I'm so glad to share it with you all ☺️
I'm quite new to this and not exactly a worshiper yet, but I've felt a pull to Dionysus for a while now, and along with specific signs piling up, it's getting hard to ignore.
I wanted to know if false ivy/plants that resemble ivy count as well or does it specifically have to be from the genus? If so, is there any preference to particular species? The reason I've been wondering this is because I was out in my garden, trying to remember if anyone I knew owned ivy or if any stores sold them here when I got spooked by a plant that looked suspiciously similar to one lying right by my foot. I genuinely thought it was a weirdly pointed sign before I realised it wasn't actually ivy, but a plant called ivy gourd, they just happened to look really similar. So what I'm trying to ask is if does cultivating ivy gourds count? And if i should look into any other plants (other than grapes) if I fail to find actual ivy?
Also sorry for the shit English, it's my third language lmao and I didn't want to beat around the bush by putting it at the beginning of the post
I saw this wine and thought of Dionysus what do y’all think
I added a Thyrsus because the statue looked like he wanted to be holding one.
Hi!
I’ve recently starting worshipping Dionysus, and was wondering if anyone has any good sources of books to learn off of? I feel like I’ve been learning off (mainly) Reddit comments so much, piecing common themes together between them, and I wanted a more accurate look into things, if that makes any sense at all.
Anything is appreciated, thank you in advance!
I posted a question several days ago asking if it'd be okay to worship Dionysos, given that I am a Kemetic Polytheist and don't connect with the Greek gods. Well, that night, I decided to do an offering to him.
I made some tealights for him, had some milk, and a 🍃special brownie🍃 (that I asked him to guide my experience with).
And. Wow. I could feel his presence the entire ritual, and I ended up having an incredible night. Since then, I've been offering him incense and a brownie every night, just so I can connect with him.
Connecting more with Dionysos has allowed me to connect to my patron Ausir (Osiris) as well. I usually approach Ausir as the King of the Gods and Judge of the Deceased, so getting to interact with his rebirth and rejuvenation aspects has been amazing.
Dionysos, too, fits into my Kemetic practice amazingly. He's comfortable with me praying to him as if he were a Kemetic god (with the hand positions and saying dua), which I suspect comes from him being a "foreigners god".
Dua Dionysos! The vine-crowned liberator, who frees me from my monotonous shackles with his wine-stained fingers!
i'm not sure what I should do. I've been following Dionysus for a while now, buuuuut I think I did something wrong because it feels like I'm kinda breaking the fourth wall, and I don't know what I should do. I feel a disconnect. I know it happens, but this has been going on for a while, and I don't know if I'm just delusional or not. any thoughts?
