[luunare]

I dont mean to overstep or anything but as someone who has been worshipping for quite some time my advice is not to interact with anyone who is trying to police you or is just downright rude ( its fine if they say hey this is actually wrong but most of the time theyre being major Assholes )

Youre doing great and like you mentioned its your practice and worship it will allways be individual. There are alot of people that try to police and show how superior they are and refuse to take critisism but there are so many lovely informative and kind people in this community so i hope you find the good ones and the bad experiences dont put you off :)

Gods bless

( you dont need to respond or anything just wanted to show support )

this ask has been in my inbox since feb 20, and i kept it so i could read it when clearing my inbox of weirdos.

i just want to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this message<3

when i came back, there were more anons in my inbox again, but i think it's slowed down now. thank you for being the warmth in my inbox, for helping me to smile when anons are trying to tear me down.

gods bless, and i hope you're doing well<3

[yourwitchybrother]

so im very new to hellenic polytheism, and ive been seeing potential signs of dionysus reaching out to me, and im curious how i would go about reaching out to a deity. (this is my first time😭)

as in like, how do i know if they’ve accepted, and if i ask for a specific sign …. what kind of sign do i ask for??? i would like some specifics of reaching out to deities !!

Ciao, hello!! This is an awesome question and, honestly, not something I've seen or heard talked about too often! So, lets dive into it.

The Basics of Deity Work

First things first, you think a deity's reaching out to you. Before coming to this conclusion, ask yourself a few questions.

☀ Is there a different, physical reason behind these signs occurring? Or do they seem intentional / what's the pattern of these signs? ☀ Could there be a different deity reaching out to me? Or is it who I believe it is? ☀ Could this also simply be some other non-divine energy reaching out to me? Depending on the signs, you can try narrowing it down from here.

But I've reached my conclusion, and it is a deity, so what now?

In that case, congratulations! The next step would be worship if you don't already worship this deity. They could be sending you signs in an attempt to draw you in rather than outright work with you. This means you should start with the most basic form of deity work: Worship.

Consider this a crash-course on worship. Here are some tips and advice.

☀ Worship is different from devotion - you have not reached that part with your deity yet. You're in the beginning stage. Think of it as being a new hire when you've been hired to a new job. Ask your coworkers with more experience (devotees, long-time worshippers, god spouses, priests, etc.) for some advice with navigating the new job. They're going to be able to give you more specific advice. ☀ Worship does not have to be some extravagant thing involving rituals every day or invocations 24/7. It can simply be about praying, offering, and thanking. Thinking about them, remembering them, learning about them, casually. When you become a devotee (which can be on your terms or, in some cases, the deity will approach you about this), this casual worship can turn into scheduled, routine devotional practice. �� When worshipping, use caution. Make sure you are properly vetting and are actually communing with the right entity. Tricksters like to get involved in relationships that aren't theirs. Even trickster gods, not just trickster spirits or no-good energies. Loki pretended to be Apollo before I realized that Apollo weirdly had two energies that were completely different from one another.

Well, now I've decided / been asked to become a Devotee. What does that look like?

I'm glad you asked, buddy!! Devotion is entirely dependent on your relationship and standing with a deity. My devotion consists of a lot of sitting with my Gods, talking to them, researching them, and writing about them. I consider this blog an act of devotion and my posts are smaller acts of devotion and love.

Here's your devotion crash-course.

☀ First and foremost: Talk about them. This may be hard to do if you aren't in an accepting environment, so in this case, find another outlet. Write about them in your journal or grimoire. Start a blog or social media page dedicated to them and what they stand for. Make subtle mentions of them. Or, if you're home alone, tell the stillness of your home about them. ☀ Divination is your best friend, especially if you struggle to see and/or hear them. Divination helps with clarifying energies and helps you communicate with them directly or through a middle-man (for example, the Fox spirit I'm building a relationship with would be a middle-man between me and Apollo or Loki or any of my Gods if I don't get a response or hear back from them when I need to pass a message, and he'll return messages to me). ☀ Research them. Come up with a schedule if it helps, or try to do it whenever you're free and have enough spoons. Back when I started worshipping Apollo, it started with me just doing research on who he was. Then, when I became a devotee of his, this research began getting a lot deeper and I started learning a lot of UPG. ☀ Do things that connect to what they represent. Act and get on stage for Dionysos. Sing for Apollo. Grow and nurture plants for Demeter. Clean and tidy your house for Hestia. Save money for King Hades. Stretch your back for Hermes. Play a prank for Loki, and send someone love for Venus. Connect with the things under their rule. ☀ Honor their families and loved ones. For Apollo, I veil. Yes, in part out of devotion for him, but more recently, I do so on behalf of his mother, Leto.

At the end of the day, devotion is different between practitioners. But with that being said, let's kind of get to the point because I went on a bit of a ramble there.

Reaching out to the deity... How exactly?

This process can prove to be a tad bit vexatious simply because of the fact that it's a process of trial and error. Sometimes, deities may not immediately respond, or you may get into contact with the wrong entity, or there may be a block - anything. But the first thing you're going to want to do is invoke them.

This looks different for everyone. I've found it easiest to call them by praying to them and formally requesting their presence. But for some people, it can look like repeating their name, shaking their fists at the sky, you name it, it's probably been done. But invoking them is how it starts. Since you're just starting out, I'd recommend something more formal like lighting their candle and praying, or simply just praying to them.

After that, hold a divination session using your preferred method (mine is a tarot session!) after having cast a circle and putting up proper protections. The Old Gods have an intense energy that can throw you off, overwhelm you, or upset you, so cast a circle, veil, and do whatever you need to do to protect your energy. This may take some trial and error.

Once you get into contact with them, ask them if they're reaching out for the sake of worship, or for the sake of working with you. Ask what they'd like to help you with. Ask what they'd like in return. Ask them anything you need to clarify the boundaries and constraints of your relationship with them. Communication is key.

Finally, the conclusion.

I really do hope this helps, please don't be afraid to ask me some clarifying questions to better understand! Or, if you need a deity reading, I may be revamping my etsy to open up readings soon.... 👀👀

I hope this helps you out, and whoever happens to find this. A mi piace aiutare la gente <3 Blessed be, and may the Sun be your guide! A domani!

Just saw the Percy Jason ship.

Now thinking of batkids as demigods.

Will take away the questionable aspects of Bruce letting kids fight crime, because demigod kids have no choice on fighting, what with being monster catnip...

Which would be the Olympian parents...

Dick being a Hermes kid? Got the whole lovable menace, way deadlier than he looks vibe...

Timmy Athena, of course.

Jason... maybe Hades? Devoted to family but with rather...questionable ideas about appropriate bonding? Strict ideas about punishment?

Alfred being a son of Hestia, the goddess of home and hearth...

Steph Dionysus' daughter... Cass as Ares' kid...

Dami can be Bruce's kid with Eris, goddess of vengeance...

There was a post a while ago where we brainstormed a little on the bats as demigods! With Dick being a son of Aphrodite and Jason a son of Nemesis, Thanatos, or Hades I think? And Bruce being an actual god hehe. But that’s all I can recall right now.

I love how everyone is in agreement that Timmy’s a child of Athena tho ksksks. And Cass as an Area kid who hates war and killing 🥺

Although I think we’d have to revise Alfred as either a devotee to Hestia, or a demigod/legacy of another god, because Hestia is a virgin goddess and doesn’t have any children if I remember correctly ✨

[windsweptinred]

Oh I loved these questions @zigzag-wanderer thank you! 

I'm going to do these one at a time, since this first answer completely got away from me and just stopped short of becoming a full on essay. 😅 I'll return to answer 25 in another post. 

20. What do their family/friends think of their relationship?

What would Dionysus’s family think of Orpheus and their relationship? In general?... Look at the new toy he's brought for us to play with. 😅

It's probably going to depend on the god when it comes to the Olympians. Mortal loves are ten a penny in their family, here today, gone tomorrow. So some may have complete disinterest in Orpheus. I can imagine Ares for example, not giving a flying fuck about a little human musician, beyond taking part in the family betting pool of how long he's going to survive before being, (A) Transfigured (B) Abducted (C) Unalived or (D) All three. 

Other gods may show slightly less indifference though. We know from Persephone that Demeter is a fan of his music. And wouldn't that just be too adorable, her fawning over him like a talented child at a family gathering. While Orpheus stammers and blushes and Dio preens. It's a powerful affiliation that may come in handy, considering Orpheus would have a significant target on his back when it comes to Zeus and Hera. 

Orpheus is the first mortal EVER to successfully complete the ‘cave run’. A fact that's not going to escape Zeus for long. And one he's certainly not going to let stand. We know with Zeus, his modus operandi when it comes to complications is to obliterate them. And at the end of season one, we see Zeus backed into a corner and I believe, at his most dangerous/impulsive. Worse still, Zeus may plan on reiterating his lesson on love with an increasingly rebellious Dionysus. And we saw what happened to Dennis… 

Hera would see this relationship as the perfect opportunity to fuck with Dionysus. She detests her husband's half mortal progeny and Dionysos being in love would be too much of temptation to wound him purely out of spite. They should count their blessings that she'd presently have bigger fish to fry. 

Aphrodite is a fun one to contemplate. What the goddess feels about her youngest brother/grand nephew's?? love life, I imagine like her, is as changeable as the breeze. But Orpheus is such a little devotee of amore isn't he? He lives to love, he's got a tattoo in homage to her son Eros on each arm for crying out loud. That man needs love to breathe easy. If it wasn't for Dionysus and Apollo, (we'll return to that little nugget later) I reckon Orpheus could have easily received the patronage of the goddess of love. As it is, I reckon she'd have a soft spot for him. But most importantly, she'd know Orpheus’s heart was true. And on her more tender days, she'd find pleasure in knowing Dionysus was truly happy in the joys of her dominion. 

I am devotedly wed to the lore that Hermes and Dionysus have a close brotherly bond. And a genuine love and affection for each other. So Hermes may be the only one of Dionysos’s siblings that considers the relationship on how beneficial it is for his baby brother. Not to say that's a particularly positive thing for Orpheus, having the trickster supreme tormenting him, in the name of deciding whether he's worthy. You have to pity the poor man for the kind of shovel talk the messenger of the gods, with his many, many, many talents, could deliver.

And now we get to Apollo…Oh, the complex cyclone of chaos that is the Apollo - Orpheus - Dionysus connection. In myth, Apollo and Dionysus have an equal level of importance/influence over Orpheus. Apollo is sometimes credited with giving Orpheus his lyre. Which could, in Kaos terms, translate as him handing Orpheus a god given talent/patronage. Orpheus was a devoted worshipper of the sun god. And I actually think this holds true in Kaos. I headcanon this tat… 

... That leads off from Orpheus’s lyre tattoo, an intertwined music note, laurel leaf and a sun. Is Orpheus paying homage to Apollo. It makes sense for a musician to pay tribute to the god of the arts. 

However, Orpheus was also a prophet (sometimes THE prophet) of Dionysos. Credited with spreading his worship. And wouldn't that be so on brand for Kaos Orpheus. If he fell head over tits in love with Dionysus, the first thing he would do would be write several hymns/chart toppers about how amazing his boo is. Would Apollo be romantically interested in/jealous of Dionysos’s relationship with Orpheus. Probably not, no. Would that stop him throwing a tantrum about his little brother touching his things/ taking his top spot on Orpheus’s list of bestest gods, also no. 🤣 Let the tug of war commence! … Hopefully with less destructive consequences than in myth. 

What would Orpheus’s family/friends think of Dionysos and their relationship? 

We really don't know much about who Orpheus has in the world coming out of season one, besides Riddy, Dennis (RIP baby) and his manager Calli. And while he could indeed have a close group of friends and relations, him being alone in the world, outside of this little close circle, goes a long way to explaining why Orpheus loves so obsessively. And how he and Riddy bonded in the first place. 

Oh he has his fans of course, and I'm sure their adoration goes some way to filling an insatiable void. But, celebrity is its own curse, and all that love is loud but distant.) An ironic reflection of the gods own relationship with humanity. And indeed in some ways, his own relationship with Riddy… But that's a topic for another post.) 

As for that tiny group who do know him on an intimate, personal level. You can see him clinging to them almost fanatically. He and Calli certainly have a relationship that seems to surpass ‘business’ and strays into the mother/son relationship of myth. And I reckon he overtly treasures that bond with Calli just as much as he did his love of Riddy. 

So, since all he really has left is Calli, how would she feel about his relationship with Dionysus? Joy and exasperation I shouldn't wonder. 

Joy, because you can clearly see how much Calli cares for Orpheus. The way she cradles him in his grief… That's her boy, blood relation or not. When ‘life is good’ for him, she finds joy in his joy, despair in his suffering. And seeing Orpheus happy again, in love again. And knowing what being in love means for his  contentment. That's going to mean so much more than seeing a ‘client’ content. Plus who can't help but love Dionysus? Hopefully some of that affection will go Dio's way too, as that god needs some. 

Exasperation as well, as we do see examples of Calli trying to shepard Orpheus in the right direction, with smoking etc. And Riddy, down to earth Riddy would have probably been an aid in this. As much as one can ever ground someone like Orpheus, Riddy probably did manage to on some level. Dionysos on the other hand…😅 I can imagine he and Orpheus would goad each other on and on, in every sense, to greater heights and excess. For better or for worse. Thoughts and prayers Calli, you're going to need them! 

This is all based on Dionysos being introduced (atleast at first) under a human facade of course. You get the feeling in the world of Kaos,  while people unequivocally believe in the existence of the gods. They're not too used to them wandering around amongst them. How Calli would feel about Orpheus dating the God of Frenzy, well, that's an entirely different kettle of fish. 

I imagine somewhere out there, Riddy will smile, roll her eyes. Mutter something along the lines of, of course, it could only be the God of Excess with you Orpheus. And be immensely happy for him. If we're allowed nice things…Wrapped in Caeneus’s arms. 

(1492 words… Jesus zigzag I apologise. 🙈 Thank you for attending today's lecture. I said they were my new brain rot, I think I've undeniably proven that to myself today. 😅)

[lavendersmusings]

Holy crap... No, you were jonny on the spot with that one. Thank you! I will indeed be drinking more water... and... yeah... I'm working on letting go of my shit... /pos

That sounds like her. Thank you so much. <3

Hi! I saw your deity readings and I would like to ask if you will do one with Artemis for me.

I use They/Them pronouns.

Thank you >U<

Absolutely love ! Thanks for stopping in !

I believe she means this in the kindest way possible but she seems to be not frusterated but impatiently telling you this message.

: she wants you to stop hesitating. Do what's right for you now n not later not when it's best for someone else. When it's best for you. Let go of all the other shit going on , she has confidence in you. Empower yourself as you have the ability to do so.

Also drink more water. Like seriously . I feel like you may struggle with drinking the right ammount. (I could be so wrong just got a hunch. )

I was not given specifics for the matter at hand just this vague message as both she and Athena tend to give me vague or short messages .

I hope this was helpful. If you want a more detailed/intricate reading feel free to come back over !

Feedback is allways appreciated though not required xx

DINOYSUS MASTERPOST

(all resources will be linked in dinoysus's name. this post will be a little bit different as Im still researching dinoysus and I don't have a committed relationship to him, so has always please dm me or leave it in my ask box if something is wrong! Thank you!)

🍇🍷🍇

recently I've been very called to start worship with dinoysus, as a punk kid, a pansexual trans man, and lover of the arts, I feel as if he's a god I can find comfort in. I get so nervous bringing in a new god into my practice though, I worry that since the relationship is so new, I'll get bored of it....but I'm getting better at it!! Hopefully this post will move me more into wanting to worship him lol, but anyways heres the master post!!

🍇🍷🍇

WHO IS DINOYSUS

Dinoysus is the god of wine-making, orchards and fruit, vegetation, fertility, festivity, insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, and theatre. He was depicted as either an older, bearded god or an effeminate, long-haired youth. His attributes included the thyrsos (a pine-cone tipped staff), a drinking cup and a crown of ivy. He was usually accompanied by a troop of Satyrs and Mainades (wild female devotees). Dionysos' sacred animals were the panther (leopard), tiger, bull and serpent. The god rode on the back of a panther or drove a chariot drawn by a pair of the beasts.

His sacred plants were the grapevine, ivy, bindweed (prickly ivy) and pine tree. Devotees of the god wore wreaths of ivy and carried pine-cone tipped staffs.

🍇🍷🍇

WHAT IS DINOYSUS ROLE?

I couldn't find much on dinoysus's worship other than the cults that was made in his honor, more specifically the Mainades. In Greek mythology, maenads were female followers of dinoysus. They were portrayed as inspired by Dionysus into a state of ecstatic frenzy through a combination of dancing and intoxication. During these rites, the maenads would dress in fawn skins and carry a thyrsus, a long stick wrapped in ivy or vine leaves and tipped with a pine cone. They would weave ivy-wreaths around their heads or wear a bull helmet in honor of their god, and often handle or wear snakes.

In ceramic art, the frolicking of Maenads and Dionysus is often a theme depicted on kraters, used to mix water and wine. These scenes show the maenads in their frenzy running in the forests, often tearing to pieces any animal they happen to come across. (I also read somewhere that they performed huge orgies while drunk to become "possessed" by the god and were cannibalistic as well. I have no idea if the cannibal thing is true tho, everything else Is.)

In a less intense way of worship, worshippers of dinoysus would host plays and parties in his name.

Worshippers now are often trans, lgbtq+, poc, foreigners/immigrants, people who love the arts, and stuff of that sorts!

UPG

I see dinoysus similarly to how he is seen on Hades 😭😭 he hasn't presented himself to me yet so I'm just going off of what I see in my mind lol but other than that I dont have much upg on him :(

[ashoss]

I LOVE Hermes kid Dick Grayson, I love Dionysus kid Steph, and I'm torn bc both Athena kid Barbara and Jason make so much sense but it's not fun if we repeat :(

I think the obvious choice for Jason is Ares, but that makes me very sad. Also, given Cass's origin story it makes sense for her father to be Ares–except taking the place of Shiva. Mythologically the gods could turn into animals but unlike the Norse gods I don't think any of them ever was a mother. Except for Zeus, arguably (see: the births of Athena and Dionysus). I just see Ares being attracted to David Cain's…*gestures vaguely* everything. And Cass fighting the heritage of violence she was born to, but I see the same with Jason.

Also to the Zeus kid Dick anon: not to worry fam, I gotchu: https://archiveofourown.org/series/1825744

This series by emavee is mostly Dick & Bruce and has a lot of variations of magical!Dick hiding his identity/abilities from Bruce.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/37798489

That one is werewolf!Dick Grayson but it's the same premise.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/53461267#main

Here's an angsty case fic with regular Robin Dick Grayson and soft dad Bruce.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/45895753

And lastly here's an incredibly soft fic with actual baby bat Dick and more soft Dad Bruce.

Back to PJO Batfam kids: maybe Cass becomes a huntress of Artemis? IDK. Also I see Alfred being a follower if not a son of Hestia. She's another virgin goddess but most top goddesses are for sexist reasons, I say let them fuck nasty.

i do really like Athena kid Babs and Jason!! but i think i might make her a clearsighted mortal and Jason I'm still torn on,, but yeah i kind of want to make them all children of different gods but maybe ill have an exception or two :)

i do like ares kid jason but i feel like that might play into his angry angsty thing too much? its kind of a copout if that makes sense. ares kid cass does make sense but im not 100% sure on it. (and on that mother thing, apollo kid kayla actually has a mortal dad - meaning apollo probably birthed kayla so!!)

hunter of artemis cass is def interesting and i might play around with that? also alfred is 100% a hestia devotee at the least ( or maybe hestia herself? who knows?)

hanging out with KT: part 2

so I got to hang out with @khaire-traveler again last night which is always an absolute joy and we just generally had a good time here's the recap for all the KT fans out there

I tell KT that i'm 4 mins away and their ass is standing outside going "where are you" and im like "BRO IM AROUND THE CORNER" and THEN he took another 3 minutes to come outside

we got wendys and i told him to order, he orders a cinnabon and 5 mins later when we park and I give it to him he goes "aww, you got me a cinnabon?" as if he didn't add it to the cart himself . . .

we sit and talk for some time, i show him my new tarot deck, we head back to his place

we sit in his basement and talk about all sorts of shit, but then we doing some tarot readings (IM GETTING SO GOOD GANG I WAS MOSTLY RIGHT WITH MY READINGS)

KT and I have a thing where I'll go "THE FOOL!" and open my tarot deck, and sometimes it WILL be the fool and we both giggle like maniacs

I ask KT to do a reading bc one of the readings I did from a diety felt off, and they said the same so I watched KT go "Hermes, if theres any spirits here that are gross, beat the fuck out of them, beat them to death until they stop moving" and I giggled and ddrew hermes beating spirits to death

and we go "Lord Dionysus, Lord Hermes-" and then a CAR ALARM STARTS GOING OFF so we rush upstairs to see if its my car (it wasn't) meaning this is the SECOND TIME we've done a reading with these two that some weird shit happened

the cards called my ass out hard as fuck

i forced KT to watch three DSMP animatics to explain my new tarot deck

noteable mentions : KT tried singing my tarot reading to me while I played ukulele, I said to KT "damn you a devotee of apollo and yo ass can't play an instrument?" and we both laughed, also KT said something akin to "Riding Satan's Ass" so

it's also funnny bc I make fun of KT for not listening to his gods, and then I get the same tarot reading i've gotten for 3 years and pack up the cards real fast. pains.

[yourwitchybrother]

My Practice

Let's start with a quick rundown.

By traditional terms, I would be classified as an Eclectic Witch. For those who don't know what eclecticism is, it's essentially when you don't quite stick to one practice and mesh together and mold your own. I work in whatever **open** pantheons I please, I practice all sorts of witchcraft, mostly divination, and I research kind of everything. The basis of my (and most) practice is research.

Most of my experience in the field of witchcraft has been research and subtle magic. I like sigils, I like tarot, I like pendulum reading, dream work, shadow work, and the occasional jinx here and there. I've dabbled a little bit into demonology, the Celtic pantheon with Loki and Ođin, and the Angelic realms here and there over the years. So I think it's fair to say I'm a jack of some trades.

Most of my practice is rooted in the Hellenic pantheon, however. I am an avid worshipper and devotee of Apollo. I've been godspoused to him for about a year now, and he is my patron deity. The rest of my "divine team" consists mainly of Neptune (Of Roman Mythology), Dionysus, Hekate, Aphrodite (or Venus? Haven't figured that one out), and recently Hermes / Mercury has been making his way into my little tight-knit circle of Divine presence.

As you can see, I'm not very good at differentiating the two pantheons. I only learned that Neptune was so present in my life while abroad in Italy, on a day trip to Bologna, and I only found out about the presence of Hermes / Mercury whilst roaming the Ufizzi in Florence with a friend.

I'm also a veiling witch! I choose to wear head coverings, though I haven't in a while because I started getting weird stares and looks while abroad. But now that I'm back in the States, I plan on getting back into veiling when I'm out and about. My favorite veil is shown just below, I embroidered a sigil into it :)

Another thing to know is that it took me some time to find my path. You probably won't find your path with the first branch of magic you practice, and that's okay! And if you do, more power to you! That's awesome! But don't limit yourself to just one branch, dip your toes into other open practices too!

That's all I have to say right now -- Expect more like this in the future, though! I'm open to answering any questions in the reblogs or submitted to me on my page. Blessed be, may the sun be your guide! A domani!

i'm always open to new friends and am extremely non judgmental. i don't judge what others believe or might not believe. personally, as for the moment, hexes and things similar just aren't for me. that does not mean i judge others who participate in it, i support whatever brings you closer to your faith!!

Deity 101 :Dionysus

Basic info

Dionysus is the god of vegetation , pleasure , festivity , madness , ecstasy , wild frenzy , theatre fruit homosexuality , queerness , wine (obviously ) and liberation .

He’s the son of Zeus and the princess semele of Thebes , He is usually depicted as either an older bearded man or an effeminate youth ,

Epithets : Bakkhos - of bacchic frenzy

Staphylites - of the grape

Eleuthereus - of liberation

TAROT : the hanged man the fool and the hierophant

*this is based off of my interactions and my worship of him as a devotee of him everyone’s practice and worship and relationship with him will be different *

Whilst physical offerings such as libations and incense are super important (if you aren’t able to give physical offerings have an altar or burn incense it’s ok they’ll understand ) non physical offerings and devotional acts are super important and appreciated by Dionysus !!!!

A great place to start working with / worshipping Dionysus and well any god is research , learning about the god is a devotional act in itself ! The next step I’d say is communication , it’s so overlooked i feel , it doesn’t have to always be super formal or proper , you can pray you can use divination or you can journal or just talk to him , tell him about your day etc . Dionysus is a god of both sides , intense madness and pleasure but also liberation and self exploration . He’s the high of life and the low of life , don’t be afraid to only show him the good , he’s the good the bad and the in between . He especially loves spending time with you when your doing things like art or anything that brings you joy ! You can seriously just talk to and say hey I'd love to spend some time with you and just do your activity and talk to him !!!!

Also this is for anyone who feels like they Or something they do is cringy , Dionysus does not care , he’s even love it , furries? People who can’t dance or sing but still do ? He loves that . He’s the god of theatre they were all dramatic and over the top. Live life , he loves it .

I’m going to only add a small list of things in this portion as screeching-owl here on Tumblr already made posts about info on most gods and I don't want to 'copy' thier work per say , I do believe they’re on hiatus but their stuff is great for reference and condensed learning about the gods

Offering’s etc

Alcohol (especially wine and spirits eg vodka etc ) grape juice or juice or honey and water are great substitutes for alcohol ! , olive oil and breads and fruit ! All kinds especially grapes ! And grape leaves !

Purple and red crystals like lepidolite amethyst grape agate and garnet are great ! Honestly anything to do with theatre or really anything you think he’d like he probably will !

Anything to do with animals he’s associated with and another thing he loves is art , especially art of him and yourself I’ve noticed . It’s such a fun way to bond with him .

LET ME KNOW WHAT ELSE YALL WANT ME TO ADD TO THESE !!!!

Apollo is next on the list !

Most info gained from my own working with him , theoi.com , brief reference from @screeching-0wl .

The Bacchanalian Revelations of Dionysus: How Particle Physics Got Its Groove

dear devotees of debauchery and dilettantes of the divine, gather 'round as I, Dionysus, recount the outrageous escapade that led me to pen a tale not of wine, women, and song, but of something even more intoxicating—particle physics. Yes, indeed, your beloved god of revelry has turned his attention to the scintillating world of the weak force. Allow me to share how a simple quest for the finest vintage led to a discovery more explosive than a cask of my finest ambrosia.

It all began, as most of my adventures do, at a particularly raucous symposium. Zeus had thrown one of his legendary banquets, and the nectar flowed as freely as Hera’s disapproving sighs. Amidst the chaos of satyrs cavorting and nymphs swooning, I found myself in the company of an unusually scholarly satyr named Pithos, who regaled me with tales of particles and forces that govern the universe. Between bouts of inebriated laughter and impromptu poetry, he mentioned the weak force—a term so dull it almost sobered me up.

Naturally, I couldn’t let such an affront to the joy of existence stand unexamined. If there was a force that dared to call itself weak, I, Dionysus, would expose it for the fraud it was. But how to do it? I decided to consult an oracle, who, after much incense and interpretative dance, declared that the secrets of the weak force could only be unveiled by an equally wild spirit.

Off I went, summoning a crew of maenads and satyrs to accompany me on this most unexpected quest. Our journey led us to the deepest caverns of Mount Parnassus, where the mystic energies of the universe supposedly converged. It was here, amidst a haze of sacred smoke and the echoes of our bacchanal, that we stumbled upon an ancient scroll—tattered but legible—detailing the secrets of the weak force.

Imagine my surprise when I learned that this so-called weak force was responsible for the transformation of particles! The very essence of change and transformation, like a humble grape becoming the elixir of life. This force, with its unassuming name, was behind the dazzling display of radioactive decay, changing neutrons into protons, and keeping the very stars aflame with passion. Suddenly, I saw it not as weak, but as the life of the subatomic party.

As I delved deeper into the scroll (and another amphora of wine), I discovered the tale of Enrico Fermi, a mortal with the audacity to decode these celestial interactions. Fermi's theories about beta decay and the weak interaction were as bold as any satyr's serenade. This mortal had laid bare the truth of the universe's hidden machinations, a revelation as intoxicating as the finest vintage.

With each sip and each revelation, my curiosity transformed into a fervent desire to share these scintillating secrets. If the weak force could turn a neutron into a proton, then surely I, the god of transformation and revelry, could turn this arcane knowledge into a tale worthy of Olympus. Thus, I decided to write about the weak force, not just to educate, but to entertain, to imbibe knowledge with the same zest as one would a goblet of the finest wine.

In a fit of divine inspiration (and perhaps a touch too much of that Parnassian vintage), I penned an article that would unveil the weak force’s saucy secrets to the world. It was a tale of particles transforming in a cosmic dance, of forces unseen but ever-present, guiding the universe with a gentle but irresistible hand.

So, my cherished connoisseurs of chaos, as you sip your wine and revel in the splendor of life, take a moment to ponder the hidden forces that bind the universe together. And remember, even in the most unexpected of places, there lies a story waiting to be told, a revelation waiting to be uncovered, and a glass waiting to be filled.
