Hermes once told me that most arguments stem from one or two root causes- a difference in core principles or a miscommunication.

For example, we will stand up to people who try to debate human rights. We will argue to protect the defenseless and our community. This is a core principle of our organization.

Outside of core beliefs, most arguments are caused by miscommunications and can be cleared up pretty easily. Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors” comes to mind.

Running any sort of organization is a lot of work. It requires community engagement and connecting with people. In case you hadn’t noticed, people are messy and complex. We’re all just doing our best and sometimes our members make mistakes.

To build community we have to communicate and when we communicate- we will make mistakes. When we receive communication- we will make mistakes. It’s a part of being human.

All of this to say that if you have an issue with someone or something in the community- PLEASE reach out to our leadership right away. We cannot address your concerns if we do not know about them. You can always email Dionysus@TempleofDionysus.org or use the contact forms on our website http://www.templeofdionysus.org

We take community feedback seriously and we want to make sure that the community is a safe and accessible place.

We’re also a signed member of the Xenia Declaration.

"Aphrodite loves terfs" do you really think a goddess of love formed from a literal penis and the mother of Hermaphroditus, an intersex god who was associated with androgyny and feminine men, fucks around with transphobia?

she is a literal trans icon and to deny that will get you smited by all the gods

I come to pay my respects to this temple and to the god that dwells here, ivy-crowned, drum-beating, torch-bearing Dionysus

Welcome home

Beyond nonprofits like ours with plans to buy land and open temples - there are some modern buildings that you can go to. Museums are Temple of the Muses and the word Athenaeum- which are often private libraries- literally translates to “Temple of Athena”

Then of course there are places like the “Temple of Music” in Providence, RI and the Parthenon in TN.

The truth is tho that the Gods are everywhere we are and you don’t need to find a temple to find the Gods, although it would be nice.

i can't stop making these
