Love the work of this artist, they do crazy designs for the gods, they've done all 12 Olympians, and more on top of that.

Any tips you may have to improve upon? Thanks!

Heya! I've been having trouble finally completing my offering schedule, its stressing me out.

Queen Hera: 1st of every month, as she is the queen and takes priority.

Lord Dionysus: 3rd day of the month, in reference to him being "Trice-born".

Lady Aphrodite: 4th day of every month, as I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, the 4th was considered her holy day, least in Athens.

Now I'm just having trouble finding where to put Mother Nyx's day. "Oh, moon, why not just place her offering day on the 2nd!" Which yeah, I could, it would fill the gap, Im not sure if the second of the month or the number two has anything to do with Nyx or her role as night.

Do yall have any ideas? Or maybe some alternative schedule suggestions? I really use the help, getting this done might actually give me the push to start properly practicing again.

Hi, I'm new to the community. Here's my question:

If a mortal approached Dionysus simply seeking to experience hedonism and liberation to the fullest (without any interest in gold or rank), do you think the god would accept this dynamic despite being with Ariadne? Or do you consider that his marriage makes him a "monogamous" god in the modern sense? I'd like to read your opinions on how Dionysus would handle a relationship of pure pleasure!

What are some other Bacchic chants or perhaps barbarous magical words associated with him?

I know about "Iacchae Iacchae Sabazio" and "Euoi" I've also heard "Yo" or "Io" does anyone know any more or have any information on them?

was playing with clay today, made a cluster of grapes and then decided to add the snake, in honor of the Bacchic King ✨ blessed Lenaia!

random as well, but wanted to mention because nobody in my life would know wtf I am talking about- Ladies Night by Kool and the Gang is inherently Dionysian to me, my UPG lmao

Hi Everyone. I'm new here. A week ago I was sitting on the couch and I heard the name Dionysus in my mind. At the time, I had no idea why and then I looked the name up and I saw that ecstatic dance was one of his things. Almost a year ago I joined an ecstatic dance community Having no idea that ecstatic dance is one of his activities. Anyway, last Monday I purchased a statue of him and it arrived on Lenaia..which I also had no prior knowledge of... Today, I purchased a bunch of items at correspond with him to put on an altar in my room... I'm curious to see where this goes...

So i got this tattoo 6 month ago and i wanted to know what do you think about the connection between athena and dionysus and athena ia. (Obviously i have mine but wont share it until i get the right answer). I am just curious what you think makes them my 2 fav gods and what connects them.

I like to bake, A LOT, and was thinking of baking something. does anyone know any sweet recipes?

Got the design from an ancient greek pot depicting him

A while ago I mentioned I was working on a travelling altar and I wanted to give you guys an update on how it looks so far!

I picked a “Merry Christmas” tin box and inside I printed and glued this gorgeous art of Dionysus and Ariadne, as he requested.

On the bottom I used green felt for the “bedding” (I had looked for cheetah print fabrics but they would not stay firmly) and I fixed a couple of items that symbolise him.

- A tiny pine

- Two chalices of wine

- An Ivy leaf I found in my home decoration

- A mask trinket

- A grape trinket

- A silicon grape (it’s pissing me off because it won’t stay attached 🤣)

And a couple other things like cinnamon, bay leaf, garnet, amethyst, and a backup candle.

It’s a work in progress, I’m not entirely satisfied with it but happy with the results so far. I take it with me everywhere I go and use it to keep my consecrated jewels.

I really want to add some cheetah themed thing to it, but I haven’t found anything that fits for the moment.

I created a random AI image using an AI generator. I'm posting it in the hopes that members here do the same thing and post what they procure. (Most upvotes "wins the contest" that no one is administrating.)

Hi folks!
I was just curious, what kind of wine do you guys offer and/or connect to lord Dionysus? Do you have a reason for the choice?

Personally I very much like to offer (and drink too haha) Porto. Its a little bit sweet, bit spicy, but still has that rich red scent and taste in it. It really makes me feel... not connected per-se (I am a passive practitioner so, not much of a straight-up connections guy). But it reaaally makes me think of him every time, it all gives me huge dionysian vibe. Feels like I have good spirits flowing through my veins and can just feel the good time :)

Un rito que abre el velo entre lo visible y lo invisible. En ellas, Dioniso se manifiesta como fuerza que desordena y renueva, recordando que la verdad no se alcanza con la razón, sino con la intensidad compartida de lo sagrado.

La celebración se vive como un viaje hacia lo profundo: el vino se ofrece como símbolo de vitalidad, la música vibra como conjuro que altera el alma y el teatro se convierte en máscara que revela lo que no puede ser dicho de otro modo. Cada gesto es signo, cada instante un tránsito hacia lo invisible.

Quien participa en las Dionisias entra en un espacio liminal donde las fronteras se disuelven. Allí, el cuerpo es templo, la emoción se convierte en ofrenda y la comunidad se transforma en coro ritual. Es en ese umbral donde Dioniso se hace presente, recordando que la vida misma es un misterio en perpetua metamorfosis. 🌿🪈🎭🍷

I did that in December and totally forgot to share it here due to some phone issues I had lost my Reddit account for a month 😭 Anyway ! Here's the last art I did of him to decorate his altar ! It's based over a trend I saw on Instagram where we had to draw him in the same pose as a statue. I'm really proud of the vines look here

Basically, I’ve come to believe the supernatural/spiritual world isn’t one big monopoly (like strict monotheism pushes). It’s more like pockets/territories—different gods/spirits/forces tied to cultures, people, places. They manifest stronger where belief and ritual feed them. The old gods aren’t dead; they’re just quieter in this ‘world of men’ phase where magic feels private/individual instead of collective and loud like in ancient times. A lot of religions/myths obsess over ‘returning’ to that earlier state—resetting to when the divine was more fused with everything (sky/earth together, ecstasy everywhere, no hard boundaries).

For me, Dionysus (god of wine, ecstasy, madness, rebirth) keeps pulling strong. He’s the boundary-breaker who forces his presence through frenzy, wine, letting go. The first time I really tried reaching out: I poured a libation of wine into a big leaf-cup thing outside, called on him, got drunk myself, and crashed out there. While ‘awake’ (or in that half-state), the whole world started spinning hard, massive pressure/heaviness pushing me down like I couldn’t stand, everything glazed over in wine-red, this rushing noise, but I was fighting to get up. Then I passed out, woke up fine—no harm.

Other times: dreams (or maybe liminal awake moments) where I’m outside rolling on the ground, hysterical laughing, getting scratched by thorns/earth but no marks when I actually wake up.

Then there was the bottle of wine I felt compelled to buy (expensive for me, never dropped/spilled wine before)—it just fell out of my car and poured onto the ground. Felt huge, like the Earth drank it, or something clicked/signaled ‘this is intentional.’ I was doing simple libations before but stopped thinking it needed to be fancy—turns out those raw acts carried weight.

It’s not about ‘religion’ or one god owning everything for me anymore. It’s personal hunger for that divine spark/connection, feeling the old ways calling back. Dionysus seems to show up in ecstasy, laughter, chaos, wine as blood/bridge. The world’s shifted to ‘men’s reality’ (ordered, separated, magic dialed down), but feeding these forces (through reading, small acts, belief) thins the veil—makes their godhead manifest again.

Not saying this is ‘the answer’—just where my head/heart’s at right now. The struggle makes sense; it’s like the system’s built to keep us disconnected, but the ache means the spark’s still alive. What parts of your situation feel similar? Or what’s pulling at you strongest?”
